Chapter 5. Images

Nobody believes that a picture is worth a thousand words more than today's
Web designers, as evidenced by the increasingly visual nature of the Internet.
In fact, it's not difficult to stumble onto a home page these days composed
of nothing but graphics (see Figure 5-1).

Some Web sites rely almost
exclusively on graphics for both
looks and function. The home
page for the PBS Kids Web site,
for instance, uses graphics not
just for pictures of their shows'
characters, but also for the page's
background and navigation
buttons.

Even if you don't want to go that far, understanding how to use graphics effectively
is invaluable. Whether you want to plop a simple photo onto your page, cover it with
clickable "hotspots," or design an interactive set of buttons that light up when the
cursor passes over them, Dreamweaver makes the joband the underlying JavaScript
programmingeasy.
