As I become
more experienced with web design, I have to
believe that Javascript buttons for rollovers
is not only passe' but frequently slow
to load. I can not count the times I have

such tools confusing to use. If I can't use it
out of the box within the first few minutes, I
tend not to use it at all. Sound familiar?
For those of

the rest of their wonderful graphic design
