- Internet Explorer

3.0 How do I add text to the buttons ?


To do this you need a painting package such as Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop, try to ensure that the package you use is capable of creating anti-aliased text, (this inserts an outline of intermediate colors between your text and the background this reduces the jagged appearance of curves).

Having loaded the button and added your text select 'Save as ...' and save the button as a Jpeg or Gif image, now its ready to add to your web page.


4.0 How do I use the buttons on my web page ?


Assuming you already have a page named index.php and you wish to add a button at the bottom which allows people to send email to you at the address your@email.

Add the following lines to the bottom of the page, having loaded index.php into a text editor.

NOTE:- your@email and buttonname.jpg are replaced with your email address and the name of the button (plus the suffix .jpg or .gif) respectively.

<a href="mailto:your@email"><img src="buttonname.jpg"></a>

To link to another page (nextpage.php) use this command

<a href="nextpage.php"><img src="buttonname.jpg"></a>

or to have a button that does nothing but sit there looking pretty

<img src="buttonname.jpg">
