How we're the roll-over buttons set to fade like that? And the header even fades in when different links are clicked...i thought it was jquery or something but I really don't know. I'm still learning php for drupal =/

O and last question...i just finished off a "tutorial" on coding a site for drupal...but it really didn't help because they just sort of gave me the code...are there any tutorials that would help converting html to php? <---That might not be the right question but I can't think of another way to ask lol.

Thanks ahead of time =D

You don't 'convert' HTML to php, HTML remains as the framework. You ADD php to the mix to manipulate how things go inside that framework.

As for the rollovers on that site, I do believe they are using javascript for that.

I think they're using javascript too. If you view the source of the page you'll see links to two javascript files at the top. One or both are likely controlling the fading effect.

Ahh ok, ya sorry about that. It just seems very strange to me to incorporate a second language into html...im too use to just seeing html and a css page i suppose

You can always go to view source and read the html code to get a better idea of whats going on. But like everyone else has mentioned it looks like some javascript

It is a CSS effect:

http://dragoninteractive.com/lib/c/styles.php

It uses one main image:

http://dragoninteractive.com/lib/i/n...ion/sprite.jpg

And changes the position of it in the CSS code for the cascading effect:
background-position: -102px 0;

background-position: -217px 0;

etc
