Take care,

I have been working on simple menu button/image buttons off and on for quite
a while. And I haven't been really all that happy with my results. I
currently like the results with CSS rollovers better. But.....

Using the layers effect of the Z axis (I think that is what it is called)
can I use a single button image and change the name "on" the button?
Easily?

Thanks,
Tom Miller

Jonathan,
I don't have a webpage up with this right now. When I first studied and
tried this it was before CSS was well known/popular so my only choice
appeared to be using graphics files/buttons to do this. About 2 versions
ago at www.chatnfiles.com I got some borrowed javascript to sort of work
but sometimes it didn't link to the right page. I am still interested in
exploring simple ways to create button based menus without having to using a
graphics editor to create/change the words displayed on the button.

Thanks,
Tom Miller

Yes, but you don't need to.

CSS rollovers affect the background, HTML is the foreground. You
already have enough distinction on the Z index to do what you need,
without needing to set the z-index property directly.

You usually only need to tweak z-index directly if you're using HTML
elements and trying to make their appearance different from that
implicit from their nesting.
