Adding a Navigational Button Bar with EZ-Net Tools™Easy navigation is one of the most essential elements of an effective web site. Your visitors must be able to tell at a glance where they are, and how to get to where they want to go. And, while you should never rely solely on graphics to link between pages on your site, button bars make an excellent way to direct your visitors from page to page.

Add Button Bar function in EZ-Net Tools™EZ-Net Tools™ "Add Button Bar" function gives you a quick and easy way to create a button bar, complete with navigational links, either from your own buttons (which you can upload), from stock buttons on the EZ-Net Tools™ system, or customize your own buttons from stock images.
You can also designate where the button bar is to go: at the top or bottom of the page, anywhere else within the page, or be placed in a side-bar.

To add a button bar to your page, do the following:- Choose the block you want to add the button bar before or after;
- Click on the "Add" button or the add icon (the green plus sign) in the chosen block;
- From the "Add New Block" dropdown menu, select "Button Bar". This will bring up the "Edit Button Bar" box (see below).
|
|
|
- If you have your button graphics uploaded, or you are using stock or customized buttons (see Button Builder) and have them in the system, click on the "Browse" button to choose the graphics for each of the buttons on your button bar.
|
|
|
- You also have the advanced option of selecting another button graphic for mouse-overs (changing the appearance of the button when the cursor is over the button). Again, just click on the "Browse" button to choose these graphics.
- You may also choose alternate text that will appear in place of the button graphic if your visitor's browser does not display graphics, and will pop up in a little box when the mouse is placed over the graphic.
- You can also designate the size of the buttons in the bar (although it is much better to size the buttons in a graphics application prior to inserting them into your pages).
- Then click on the "Browse" buttons to establish the page link for each button.
- Click on "Submit" and you're done.
