Recap – Interaction Design
Interactivity Choices
– Rollovers
– “Jointed” = interact with page element and it changes its appearance
 example
– “Disjointed” = interact with page element and OTHER elements change
 example
– Image Maps
– Interact with Hotspots = Circle, Rectangle, Polygon
 example
– AP Elements
– Control Visibility
 example

(mouse click or mouse over etc.)
Multiple Behaviors
–Can attach multiple actions to same object
–Action for “MouseOver” (Default)
–Action for “MouseClick”
–Etc.
–Press “+” icon and select

Recap – Image Map
Create Hotspot(s)
– Select Image
– Select hotspot tool in “Properties Inspector”
– Make sure all Property Inspector options visible
(if not, click bottom right triangle)
– Rectangle / Circle: draw shape over hotspot region
– Polygon: trace contour of hotspot region by clicking mouse
– Select Hopsot using “hotspot selection arrow”

Navigation - Overview
Want to indicate “You are here”
Want interactive navigation elements
– Move over navigation and its elements indicate “responsiveness”
FOUR Possible States:
“Up”
example
Not selected (button up = not pressed)
“Over”
Mouse over button that is not selected
“Down”
Selected (button pressed down)
“Over while down”
Mouse over selected button

Navigation Structure in Dreamwaver
– Create Primary & Secondary Navigation Structures
– Use “Rollovers” Why?
– More flexibility
– Can have many rollovers on same page

Step 1 (CS5) – Create Navigation using Image Rollovers
Insert “UP” Images
– Place Cursor inside AP Element intended for navigation
– Insert Images and Specify Alternate Text
– Assign ID to Selected Image in Property Panel
Create Rollovers
– Select image and click on “+” in Behaviors Panel
– Select “Swap Image”
– In “Swap Image” dialog, select image to swap in on MouseOver
– Make sure to select both checkboxes (Preload and Restore)
Create “You Are Here” Indicator
– Select image that needs to show “DOWN” image
– Change image to DOWN image
– Update rollover by double-clicking on “Swap Image” behavior
– Change image to be swapped to DOWN image

Step 2a – Create Navigation Using Rollovers
Why use Rollovers?
– There can be only one “Navigation Bar” per page
– Want Primary and Secondary Navigation on same page
– Easier to copy & paste
Open file “imago0”
– Place Cursor before first image in 2nd navigation
( Final file “imago”)
Select “bar” image and press “left arrow” key
– Insert > Images Objects > Rollover Image
– Image Name = “Imago”
– Original Image = “images/secondarynavi/IMAGOS.gif”
Want “Down” / Selected image because on “imago” page
– Rollover Image = “images/secondarynavi/IMAGOSMO.gif”
– Specify hyperlink: browse to “imago” page

Step 2b – Create Navigation Using Rollovers
Open file “poem0”
– Need to Change “Up” into “Down for “Poem” category
to indicate that we are on the “poems” page.
– Select “Poem” image
– In Property Window change “Scr” = “PoemsS”
– In Behavior Window select “onMouseOver” and doubleclick
– In Swap Image dialog select Poems image (has * next to it)
and Set Source to = “PoemsSMO”
Final file “poem”

Step 3a - Create Images for Navigation
Launch Fireworks
Create file = “navi_categories”
– File > New
– Specify size:
– Height = 30 pixels
– Width = as wide as longest category text = 100
Show Rulers: “View > Rulers”
To ensure that text in the different navigation images is aligned
Create horizontal and vertical guides
1. Click and drag from corresponding ruler
2. Position guide on canvas and release mouse button.
– Reposition: select “Pointer Tool” and move guide to desired location
Move guide to specific position
1. Double-click the guide.
2. Enter new position in the Move Guide dialog box, and click OK.

Step 3b - Create Images for Navigation
Open file “navi_categories”
Create text for “UP” button
– Unselected state: select 10-14pt, regular
– Select “Text tool” and type your category
– Automatically creates text object
– To change text: select correct object & select text with “Text Tool”
– To change color: select “Color Picker” and select new color
– To move text: select “Pointer Tool” (you can use arrows)
(move so it is centered)
Need to change image area
– To enlarge: Image > Canvas Size
– To reduce: Use “Crop Tool” (maintain standard height)
© Anselm Spoerri
Step 3c - Create Images for Navigation
Create folder for navigation images
Create images for each state of a navigation category
– “Over”: bold typeface and 10-14pt type size (possibly larger than “Up”)
– “Up”: regular typeface and 10-14pt type size
–
–
–
–
Select object that contains “Over” text
Duplicate object (copy & paste) and Name = “xxx Up”
Select text in object and make it regular or smaller …
Center modified text (use “Pointer Tool”)
– “Down”: regular typeface, 10-14pt type size and color = red or …
– Select object that contains “Up” text
– Duplicate object (copy & paste) and Name = “xxx Down”
– Select text in object and change its color
– “Over while down”: bold typeface, 10-14pt type size
(possibly larger than “Down”) and color = red or …
– Select object that contains “Over” text
– Duplicate object (copy & paste) and Name = “xxx Over While Down”
– Select text in new layer and change its color
– Make sure the appropriate object are (de)selected for each state
– File > Export Preview: select format
– File name reflects state it presents
Repeat above for another category

CSS – Navigation Bar using Lists and CSS
Navigation = Lists of Links
example
<ul>
<li><a href="home.html">Home</a></li>
<li class="here"><a href=“features.html">Features</a></li>
</ul>
CSS property - display: block; and
Hyperlink States:
float: left;
and
clear: both;
a:link | a:visited | a:focus | a:hover | a:active
© Anselm Spoerri
CSS – Navigation Bar using Lists and CSS
(cont.)
Remove Bullets, Eliminate Padding and Margins
#navi ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
overflow: hidden; }
Display Link as Block (area of link clickable) and Constrain Width
#navi a {
display: block;
width: 100px; }
Horizontal Navigation
Use floated <li> method for uniform look
#navi li { float: left; }
You are Here Indicator
#navi li.here a { text & background properties }
and want CSS rules for different states of hyperlink
© Anselm Spoerri
CSS – Navigation Bar and States of Link Element
Selecting Link Element based on their State
 Navigation Structure
Since a link can be in more than one state at a time,
it is important to define rules in following order:
1.
a:link
2.
a:visited
3.
a:focus
4.
a:hover
5.
a:active
 LVFHA
a:link, a:visited { color: #FFF; }
a:focus, a:hover, a:active { color: #000; }
#navi a:link, #navi a:visited { color: #FFF; }
#navi a:focus, #navi a:hover, #navi a:active { color: #000; }
