Overview: Creating buttons

In Fireworks, you can create a variety of JavaScript buttons and rollovers, even if you know nothing about JavaScript. The Fireworks Button Editor leads you through the button creation process, automating many button-making tasks. The result is a convenient button symbol that you can position and transform as a single object. You can quickly replicate a button to create a navigation bar, easily update text across the button's frames, and convert Fireworks 2 rollovers to Fireworks 3 buttons.

When you export a button, Fireworks automatically generates the JavaScript necessary to display the rollovers in a Web browser. In Macromedia Dreamweaver you can easily insert JavaScript-rollover HTML code from Fireworks into your Web pages. Also, you can cut and paste the rollover code into any HTML file.
