I have created a webpage for my work. I got it all done and previewed it in
browser and all of my push buttons work. When I actually post it on the site
they do not work. I have also had this problem with slideshows as well. I
think I must be missing something. Can anyone help?

Hopefully you can still help me it has been awhile since I asked my question
and have not gotten a chance to work on this. our website is
www.tekippe.com. i left a sample page under the about link and that is what
I am trying to make the site look like. the only link I made for now is
helpful links and as you can see it does not work. Please let me know as
soon as you get a chance to look at it since I am having more time to look at
this. Thanks

If I'm looking at what I think you are describing, the only button that doesn't work is
the Helpful Links. If the page named helpful links.htm does exist, rename it to
helpful_links.htm (note the underscore) and correct the link as well. Spaces in filenames
are a no-no.

In order to use an input button as a hyperlink, you have to fire a javascript onclick
event when the button is clicked.
The way it is set up now, the link isn't being "fired"

If no one has posted one by the time I get home I'll post an example.

Here's an example:
<input type="button" value="Google" name="B1"
onclick="document.location='http://www.google.com'"><p>

In your case it would be:

<input type="button" value="Helpful links" name="B1" onclick="document.location='helpful
links.htm'"><p>

Note the use of both single and double quotes

onclick= " document.location= ' helpful links.htm' " >

Also, you really need to remove the spaces in file names.
