I have a website that is using the built in Buttons. HOwever, when I amend
my site, occassionally, one or more of the buttons will start not displaying
correctly (It will be a different color/different words). Is there a way to
change the "button 3a.jpg", and not have to go back and re-work every button
on every page? Man, that is a huge hassle!

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
 
button 3a.jpg is an IB you have named that way
(or allowed FP to assign a default name to)
Doesn't mean all your page that use IB are using the same button name

Stefan,
Thanks for your reply! Can you explain what an "IB" is? (I thougth it was
"Internet Browser"?)
Anyway, the same button, on every page, when I looked at the properties,
they all were pointing to "button 3a.jpg". If you would like to go to my
website (I am a builder/realtor) and see if you can figure it out, my website
is www.pblp.com

I would think you could remedy this in code?

Again, thanks! Deric (PB)
 
IB - Interactive Button
- yours are saved all over the place w/ different names for each page

Open one of your pages that uses all the IB
Double Click Each and check you links
Save the page and when the Save Embedded files dialog comes up
- rename your images (to something more meaningful related to the link)
- and set the save location to be the same for all of them
Then copy the Table they are in to all your other pages and save them
- in Folder View delete all the old meaningless image names like buttonX.jpg

PS
- rename all your filenames to remove spaces to prevent broken links

Stefan,

Thanks! I will try that. With a name like "Stefan", I assume you are from
France?
Did you have any other advice for the web-site? (You seem fairly proficient
at Front Page?)

Again, thanks.

Stefan,

Again, thanks! I attempted to do what you suggested, and when the Embedded
Files dialogue box came up, there were three buttons trying to be saved.
"button 234.jpg, button 235.jpg, and button 236.jpg". Why are there three
new buttons, when all I did was highlight one?, and which one would you
re-label?

I agree the buttons are too many, as they serve the same function on many
pages?

Sorry, if I'm a little thick on this....I'm a better builder and realtor
than I am a web guru!

One button image is created for each mouse related state: active, hover, press
- relabel them all the same, but w/ a different suffix
As in home_a.asp, home_h.asp, home_p.asp

PS
- Not French
