    Can i ask about navigation,Plz

    Hi all,
    If I may, I would like to ask a question about putting "buttons" on a website as navigation.
    I am aware of Norton2004 Ad Blocking as it blocks more or less every hyperlinked .jpeg & .gif on my site.
    I currently use text links as my navigation..but want to use buttons (also .gifs)....
    Will I end up having a site with NO navigation showing? I don't want NAV2004 users landing on pages with no navigation showing, obviously.

    Your replies are incredibly appreciated
    Regards
    GEM

    Use alt="link name" in all your image tags.
    Irony: That for most people the most "trusted" web site on the planet is for a company the has been convicted of criminal activity.

    Both Security and SuSe start with "S". www.eemam.com

    Unfortunately that doesn't work, if Norton blocks an image it normally strips out the HTML that includes the alt text, so you're back to no navigation.

    The good news is Norton only blocks certain image sizes or those with words like banner or ad in the file name.

    You can remove the width and height parameters from the <img> tag and instead use CSS to specify the dimensions of the image e.g. <img style="width: 20px; height: 50px" ....>, this seems to stop Norton stripping the HTML.

    You could also go for a pure CSS navigation system where you use normal text links with background images for mouse off and mouse over. I haven't seen Norton strip out images specified by CSS, yet.
