I was using the interactive buttons on the top "banner" that I include in
every page on the site. Because I couldn't add the new button I needed, I
removed the buttons and made my own links with simple text.

So I have made another version of the banner with three buttons just so you
can see what's going on. It's at:
http://www.stanford.edu/~jpearson/test.htm

If you want to see the actual site as it is now, without the buttons, it's
at: http://www.stanford.edu/~jpearson

Thanks for taking the trouble to look at this and investigate. I very much
appreciate it.

The buttons are not in the same folder as the the page - hence they do not
show.
If the buttons are in an included file, then you should use absolute or root
relative links for them, unless the buttons, page and included file are all
in the same folder.

Pages at http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/b/buttons may help - these deal
with FrontPage design time includes and shared borders, but the same
principles apply to Server Side Includes.

Ron,

Problem solved. I had no idea I had to FTP the button files along with the
page file. If only all problems were as easy to solve.

Muchas gracias!!

Hey Ronx,

I noticed you helped somebody with this interactive buttons situation. I
really need some help myself. Everytime i edit an interactive button or
attach a page to which i want it to go,all the interactive buttons get
jumbled up. For example my interactive buttons on one page are:
home
about us
North Chennai
South Chennai
More links

When i attach a link to the 'about us' page and i want the navigation bar to
be static in the 'about us' page, only home appears correctly, all the rest
of the interactive buttons (about us, north chennai, south chennai, more
links) become 'more links'. In that way in each link all the buttons are
jumbled.

Please reply! Its very very urgent!

It would help if you could post a link to the pages with the problem to look at
- we would need to know how you include your interactive buttons
(shared border or include page or separately)

It sounds like you are attaching your buttons using include pages or shared
borders resulting in the image ids being duplicated. This is explained in
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/b/buttons/restrict.aspx

As Stefan said, a link to a page showing the fault will help.
