Question on site loading and buttons

[Steve]

I published my first design efforts last night. No big
problems thankfully, but two questions come up.

Site is www.mozartforum.com

I used a theme containing a paper texture as a BG for all
pages. When each page loads the paper is the last to
display. Not a big issue but at 28.8 it looks less than
ideal. Is there anyway to alter the order that itema are
displayed ? BTW the theme was actually the first item I
applied to the pages.

I used custom buttons that I wanted to make interactive
when pushed, but couldn't find a way to import custom
design. Is it possible to make these interactive ?

As Usual thanks in advance

Steve

The page loading sequence is a function
of the theme and can't be changed.

As for adding the interactive buttons,
you would have to edit the theme ( not easy )
or use DHTML mouse over effects to use them.

Actually you are using an unnecessary image map for your hyperlinks, as in:

<img border="0" src="images/Home%20button.gif" width="110" height="40" usemap="#FPMap8"><map name="FPMap1"><area alt="Go to
Discussion Forum" href="board.htm" shape="polygon" coords="6, 0, 109, 0, 108, 39, 2, 37"></map>

Remove the image map (easier to just delete all buttons)
Then Insert a button image on your page and right click it to set it's hyperlink (also in picture properties), so you get std image
link, as in:

<a href="board.htm"><img border="0" src="images/Home_button.gif" width="110" height="40" alt="Go to Discussion Forum"></a>

See your other post for my comment on removing spaces in file/folder names
