zipperfool -> hyperlink graphic (4/17/2006 10:19:05)

I am sure this has been covered 1000 times, but I don't know how to search for it.

I want the picture to be flashing so that it draws more attention, but still remain a hyperlink to another page on my website.

Help would be appreciated.

You just ned to put the path to your image within the <a> tags, e.g. 

<a href="page2.html"><img src="images/myimage.gif" width="50" 
height="50" alt="next page button" title="Go to the next page" /></a>


I'd think carefully about having anything flashing though - they're very distracting, not good for accessibility, and often look a little tacky. You'll find a wide selection of buttons etc. for free if you search for something like "web graphics buttons" on google though.

very good point. I'll take your advice and leave the flashing stuff for the porn sites, hah!

maybe I should stick to a slight change to the image when someone hovers over it or click on it? what think ye?

From a usability point of view, having a hover effect or when it's selected, it can be a good thing. If you want to do that you'll need three images, a standard one, a hover one, and a 'selected' one. You'll also need a little javascript or CSS to display them (or if you're using FP there is a built-in button thingie but I never much liked it)

The Javascript Source has a number of scripts for image rollovers, as does Dynamic Drive. For CSS menus this one is one of my favourites.
