Creating a button
tony Gunningham Member Since: 25 Oct 2006 Posts: 1	Posted 25 Oct 2006 11:19:48 Hi, I'm new here so please be gentle. I'm in the process of learning the complex world of web design and now at a point in learning how to create my own buttons/tabs. Using fireworks I have managed to do a simple button but with one simple error. Let me explain. I first selected a new canvas at 200x200 and entered a normal button sized rectangle. I rounded of the edges, chose my preferred color and even bevelled the edge for effect. All looked good when I saved this project however when inserting the button onto dreamweaver I can still see the area of the rectangle that should have disappeared when I rounded the edges. When previewing in internet explorer it' still the same. So in a nutshell, I've created a button with nice soft, rounded edges however the square edge remains in the background. I'm sure this must be an easy fix so if anyone can suggest a method to resolve this I would be most grateful. Thanks Hi, I'm new here so please be gentle.
