I use dreamweaver and i want to make clickable blocks of color that overlap and link them to mp3's. The easiest way i thought to do this was to draw layers and change the background color and then link the layers as I would with text or an image. (in dream weaver you can right click and choose "make link") but there is no option for this on my version of dreamweaver. so I tried kind of sticking this <A HREF="URL"></A> around in the layers tag but i'm not really sure where to put it if indeed this is the solution cause it's not working so friends I offer it up to you thanks alot www.lunarpages.com/ryking |

You didn't specify a version of Dreamweaver, but in any case, check out the DropDownMenus at http://www.lunarpages.com/twebman/script/js/I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but you may want to check it out. |

dreamweaver 3.0
thanks dude but thats not exactly what i mean
in dreamweaver you can click and drag to creat a sqaure or rectangle layer (DIV- what ever that means)
so i just want to use this techniqe to create a bunch of randomly placed blocks of color much like if you took contruction paper and scattered it on the floor (assuming your contruction paper snaps to grid)
and then these blocks when clicked would point to an mp3 to download

Why not just use table cells? You can make table cells links. You can adjust the size, width, height of each cell using a 1x1 pixel transparent spacer image. Set the image h and/or w to what you want the table cell to be, set the bgcolor of the table cell to what you want it to be.

Ok to link whole layer box, simplest way to do this would be inserting A HREF=LINK tag BEFORE DIV then CLOSING /A TAG AFTER /DIV. YOU MAY ALSO insert HREF=LINK without a's INSIDE the DIV tag
Both will link the whole layer/div and the text/images and content in it.
If you need a rollover thats bit more difficult, you woulkd have to asign a specific rollover for the specific layer say Div id= 1 assign rollover property for that div.
If you have text within layers and you do not want underlined text as link insert this property in head section.

a{text-decoration:none}
/style>

thank you santos
this is pushing it, but would you be willing to maybe copy me the piece of html that you have done this with so I can use it as reference?
my brain is easily confused when it comes to plain html...
