Hello. I am brand new to web design, and in fact I have been recently thrown into this so I need some help.

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to maintain our company website. So I will edit the xhtml there and then copy the code into a content management program called Sitellite.

The task I am trying to accomplish is removing a particular button from a page, and when I do, the Sitellite program removes the line of code that enables an image rollover function (a photo on the same page changes to a different photo when you roll your mouse over it). I believe that line of code may be Javascript. I'm not sure what that is exactly, but I was told it might be. Who knows.

Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

Can you provide us with a link to the site/page in question, then describe which particular button/image?

Sure. Here is the page in question. The photo of the units has the rollover function, and the buttons I am trying to remove are "Engineering Guide" just below the photo.

I simply don't understand why and how the photo and buttons are connected. Like I said, when I delete the button it removes the rollover.

Yeah your CMS is probably stripping out non-HTML when you paste the corrected code back in. Are you switching to the Source view in the CMS before pasting?

Yeah, I switch to the source editor and paste in the code there. After that I check the source editor again and that's where the code is changed.

So why would the CMS allow the rollover the way it is doing right now? It only has a problem when I remove those buttons.

I'm guessing that the original code wasn't inserted into the CMS using the editor.

That's a good possibility. I've only been here 2.5 months or so. But knowing the MO around here, everything seems to be built in DW first and then pasted into Sitellite.
