It's been a while since I've developed a website so there are many things I need to catch up on. Right now I'm stuck on the navigation portion. I have a design I'm happy with in photoshop, however I'm debating whether it would be better to slice it up and arrange the images with divs or should I hide the text and just export the nav-bar as a whole then place the links over the image. Normally I'd choose the ladder right off the bat, however the text uses a uncommon font that I could of course import with css, but is it worth the possible backward compatibility issues? What do you guys think I should do?
Navigation - Sliced images vs Text on background
- Thread starter jskool
- Start date
There really aren't backward compatibility issues to worry about. IE supports it all the way back to 5.5, IIRC, and the rest have had it pretty far back too. Depending on what the background looks like, you may not need images anyway. You can use CSS gradients for a lot of it, and old IE supports those through filters.
