OK so I am trying this out and going to switch from Dreamweaver to the html editor, I have pulled a html page over and I am having trouble with the nav bar buttons I created. I have looked through all the options to reinsert the buttons as a .swf, can i do this? or does the html editor not allow this file type? any suggestions? here is the website http://www.rtcherryranch.com the page i was updating is http://www.rtcherryranch.com/home.html as you can see there are no buttons now but you can see the buttons on http://www.rtcherryranch.com/about.html

Thanks for any help..

Heidi :)

The code on each page is totally different. Were you trying to copy the buttons on about.html?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Sure, I just copied your source code from the about.html and it worked great for me.:)

Are you using the visual tab in the HTML Editor? If you are you can't go back and forth between code mode and visual mode as it will do some nasty things to your page.:(

Thanks, I guess that was the problem, I will just not use the visual tab!
So far it works, now I can get it cleaned up :)
