Dreamweaver Question

[Djames]

Hi,

I had a couple of questions hoping that someone can answer them for me.

1: I made a layout with Photoshop. I want to put some text so i was told to do that with Dreamweaver. But how do you go about writing text on an .png file ? It wont let me.

2: I was also wondering some sites when you click on their "tabs" (i.e. home, contact) Their text area only refreshes instead of refreshing the whole site. How do i go about doing that was well ? Please help me. Thank you.

You can't write to a .png file using Dreamweaver as it is not a graphics editing program. Either just add the text using photoshop, or you'll want to have your photoshop image as a background and then just have plain html text over the top.

The second question is really more a general web design question, one which will take more than a simple answer. Do some searching for html frames, or iframes, or, preferably, using divs with javascript and "document.getElementByID".

1) If you want the text to permanently be there write it on photoshop if changing, use HTML over the image as duncan said.

2) The latest and best ways of doing that use Javascript and normally AJAX, its not too hard and can be done pretty quickly
