Hi I'm a newbie if we are talking about creating websites. I have a question about rollovers! I want to create a navigation bar using rollover images and 4 stages.: normal, hover, down and selected. I want to use ssi or xssi to include my navigation bar so that I always can make changes.

my question is how do i get the a certain page to show the "selected rollover" image. I have been told to use xssi variables but i don't know how i use them. Is it possible to just include a piece of code in the include that has a varible that look for the document URL and compared it to the link of the ollover and then show the correct image? or something like that.

Or would it be possible to use a cookie to remember the state in the included file?, since it the same file opening again just on another page.

And if you were to design a page with these rollover stages how would you do?

This guy seemed to have sort of the same problem, he solved it but I can't understand the code he is providing. If any of you guyscan I would appreciate if you could translate it for me:

I have created some ppages now using SSI, and when i click the link and the new page open and the include load again I don't see the selected state of the rollover i see the normal state. Obviously the include doesn't know or remembered that i clicked the link, and is just reloading together with the new page. Is there any chance that I can make the include not reload together with the new page so that i will see the selected state of the rollover when i get to the new page.

an example can be found HERE where the 2 top left buttons has a working link. and the other buttons has no assigned link, and they remember the selected state because they dont link to another page but just stay on the same.

I don't know if you need to know this, but the extension i use is .shtml

I hope somebody can help.
