Hi all,

First of all I'd like to thank you all for answering my previous questions, I really appreciate your input. This thread relates to my previous rollover thread.

On my homepage I have images aligned vertically on the left and right column. I been considering what would be the best way to display them. I could just leave them as is, they are 200X100 pixels or setup them up so they are magnified on mouseover like so: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/magnify.html (mouseover the 'rain drop' image on top). This looks awesome! I am aware this is a Java script, but am wondering if there is an alternative way to do it in DWCS3 (where I will not have to input the script). I have tried to input the java script but failed to get it to work. I have also tried the rollover route but it did not work, where I insert a bigger identical image on rollover (using the Insert > Image Object). Obviously, I am not a programmer, so I am looking for a simple solution that will make my images shine!

So, I would appreciate your suggestions.:)

Thanks.

I am afraid that there is no feature in Dreamweaver that will create that effect.

Dreamweaver is extremly limited in its functions and features. Rightlyfully so. There are just an amazing number of effects possible using scripts, flash and other disciplines that it would be impossible to program them all into Dreamweaver.

If you want to design anything more that then you need to learn HTML/CSS and possibly a bit of javascript OR... you might want to look into Fireworks. You can create a lot more visual effects in Fireworks and not have to delve into any HTML to do it.
