Could someone provide a link to a web page that has interactive buttons on
it.

Thank you

Hi Stefan,

I noticed the buttons on the site from the link you supplied don't retain
the active state after onclick but the ones on your sample "Standard Site"
do. Please tell how you retained the active state for the buttons on the
Standard Site. Thanks.

The older sample site was created using a theme (FP2000)

Themes can have 3 states
normal - default for all pages (except current page)
selected - default for current page
hovered - mouse over the button
(only available if theme uses active graphics)

The main site uses Custom Interactive Buttons
The FP2003 new Interactive Buttons have only 3 states
normal - default for all pages (visited or not)
hovered - mouse over the button
pressed - mouse depressed (before link opens)
- there is no "active" state for interactive buttons

Hi Marty,

Stefan is right in that there is no "active or selected" state for Custom
Interactive Buttons...there's a workaround though if you can spend some
extra time. All you need to do is to create a button that looks a little
different than the others (different colored font..or button..or both)..and
probably not select hover..or actually link that particular button to a
page.

Here's a page I am working on for someone where I did something like that.
(Very early construction so please no critiques! :)

(notice the blogs button on the left is different while you are on the blogs
page)
