Hey.
I just created a navigation bar on Dreamweaver CS3.
The site has about 8 pages and I had to create a new navigation bar for each page because I wasn't able to copy and paste the navigation bar from one page to another. I eventually got it all done which took a while considering there are 3 images per tab and 5 tabs on a page.
I uploaded the site and checked it on Safari (I use a Mac) and everything was fine.
I tested the site on a friend's computer, who works with a PC and uses firefox and everything works fine on the site except the navigation bar.
Instead of displaying it, I'm just given a list of links where the nav bar should be.
I right-clicked the image and chose "view image" to see if I could check the image was working and Firefox took me to a page which said,
The image "http............" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors"
I did a browser compatibility check (if that's the right thing to do) and also checked all my links and Dreamweaver said everything was fine.
I may need to check on another computer but I have a feeling that the images aren't being displayed on anyones browser but my own.

Hey, Abraham.
Thanks for the response but I found my answer.
It seemed a strange one.
As far as I could tell it was because my .png images were CMYK instead of RGB so internet browsers were unable to display them.
I re-made the entire set of buttons as RGB and they worked fine.
The thing that confuses me though is that I'm sure they were RBG to begin with.
I never use CMYK so I can't understand why my Photoshop would have created a new document with that as the default setting.
