Rollover images for comic navigation

If any of you have surfed over to my webcomic, Monkey Law, you may have noticed that the “First,” “Previous,” “Next,” and “Last” buttons are rollovers. I realize, though, that I never really give any instructions for how to make rollovers work in stripShow. One thing you might also wonder is, since stripShow doesn’t assign DHTML items like ID to the navigation buttons, how can you make them into rollovers, since JavaScript has nothing to grab on to?

The answer is I don’t use JavaScript. I use pure CSS.

So here, without further ado, is a tutorial.

New stripShow site

Hey, what gives? This site has the WordPress default theme and is horribly ugly!

Yeah, I decided to split the stripShow site into two components — a blog (which you’re reading) and the example of stripShow in action (which you can get to from the links at the left). I figured people who are interested in what stripShow does don’t need to wade through all the stuff I plan to put on this blog. They want to flip through the example “comics,” and make sure that navigation goes the way they want.

This site, by contrast, will be more for announcements of releases, and also tips and tricks for using stripShow. I will, don’t worry, be customizing the theme in the next few days.
