PE 1 - iWeb | over and above

I am proficient with iWeb, but I want to become advanced. My first venture is creating a “dock” using java. My buddy Josh created a dock using flash, but I’m not proficient in flash yet (maybe that can be my next PE choice). The second thing I want to do is create other types of menus... Drop down menus, rollovers, etc. Finally, I want to see what else I can implement into iWeb to make it really unique. I don’t want my site to looked pre-packaged. I want everything to be entirely fresh and look like it was created by a web pro.

Here’s how I created a dock:

First, I downloaded the css file from ndesign-studio.com. Once I downloaded the file, and followed their instructions for posting it to my site, it looked like this:

Then I opened the .html files and chose new images for the icons by editing the .html with dashcode. Once I added the new images, it looked like this:

After adding icons, you can change a lot of different features of the dock.

- Transparent Background

- Shadows

- Depth of Magnification

- Font

- URL Link

- ETC
