    Can you put the page url here so we can look?

        Non of the buttons seems to be linked.

        Select each button individually and re-link them. Also ensure that the buttons are placed at the front of the page and not behind any other objects. To check the current link on buttons, right click on the button and check properties.

            would a transparent shape ..stop the links...kind of like a blanket over them?

            regards paul

              Yes Paul.. As I mentioned before, make sure that the buttons, linked text, etc are in the fornt of the page.. I just viewed the source code of your page and the links look fine, but you seem to have an image of some sort and that was the last thing you did, the image is 799 x 801px.. I am not sure if that is the template you used to create the page, but in any case, even if the image is transparent it still blocks whatever is behind it. You might have used a box to frame the page and ofcourse that can still be positioned in the back and still appear as you want it.. The bottom line is, when the mouse is pointed at something it picks up that thing and not whatever is behind it.. so as I mentioned before, ensure that your links and menus are in the front. To achieve that, right click on each item and click 'bring to front'.

                  if it's a page frame, here's my suggestion: add the fram, right click on it and then select 'Move to back'.

                      Paul.. you are using rollover menus and they all seem to work fine here... I think you might have had some trouble as the page opens because rollover images have to all be loaded like everything else on the page, the images may have taken a lil longer than you expected to load.. but I can't see a problem with them.. expect for their size. you are using the BV default rollover images, you can either resize or replace them, in all cases, make sure that the test on the menu button is not hindered by graphics on the button itself... if you still have a problem, can you describe it again and be as pecific as possible.

                      Cheers.

                          you are very welcome..

                          You can always get back and let the forum know if you run into any problems and you will find that the guys here are technically savvy.

                          Also, I would suggest that once you've completed the site, put it on 'Promote your website forum' to get feedback and ideas from other members.. I can see though that your pages are neat and look professional.

                            Hi Paul,
                            Just checked your site out, and it looks great and works well. I had a small problem with your "how to book" page, but it resolved itself and seems fine now. Well done !
