Chapter 29. Putting Multiple Links in One Picture

You've seen 'em ”those cool-looking pictures and button bars in Web pages that contain multiple links. Click one button or one part of the picture and you go one place; click another part, you go somewhere else. It's a pro touch.

But it's not out of your league, now that you have 19 chapters of Web authoring training already under your belt. In this chapter, you learn how to apply some of the HTML skills from Chapter 26, "Editing HTML," and scripting skills from Chapter 28, "Designing Fill-in-the-Blanks Forms," to make these multilink pictures happen.

This chapter assumes that you have already installed Netscape Communicator 4.7 and its built-in Web-authoring program, Composer. If you have not, visit http://wp.netscape.com/download/archive.html and download Netscape Communicator version 4.7 for your system. (It's free.)

This chapter also assumes that you have downloaded a free trial of the HTML editor HTML Assistant Pro. You can download it from http://www.exit0.com.
