Fireworks Nav Bar doesn't display properly in Dreamweaver
I have a nav bar created in Fireworks, which worked fine two years ago when I first created it. But yesterday I changed a couple of the buttons, exported again, and re-placed onto my Template page in Dreamweaver.
It previews fine from Fireworks, but once inserted into Dreamweaver as Fireworks HTML, doesn't swap images on mouseover. Any ideas what I did to cause this or how I can quickly fix it?

You need to also replace the javascript that gets created. Did you?

Hmmm... probably not. Although I can't imagine that I would have known to do that the first go-round either, at which point I was even less experienced! (You probably have ascertained that I'm a novice web designer and pretty much use primarily the WYSIWYG tools at my disposal!) :-}
As I recall, it all seemed fairly straight-forward: create the nav bar in Fireworks and export, then place a Fireworks HTML at the insertion point in Dreamweaver. (In fact, inserting the Fwks HTML even automatically created and inserted the following code:
<!--The following section is an HTML table which reassembles the sliced image in a browser.-->
<!--Copy the table section including the opening and closing table tags, and paste the data where-->
<!--you want the reassembled image to appear in the destination document. -->
<!--======================
It's not doing that this time? I'm having to insert the HTML doc in between this and the End point. Is that the javascript that gets created? IF not, where and how should I make this happen?

The plot thickens... I was able to get the navbar to work properly on the one page that isn't connected to the template: the home page.
Also, after updating the template on the site, any connected pages that have been updated in the editable area have the same problem -- no swap image. But the template-connected pages that didn't get updated do have the revised nav bar, which works perfectly on thos pages only. But they're all connected to the same template, so this doesn't make sense to me.
I'm going nuts here. What could cause this?

Thanks for the info... the java script was there in the template, looked pretty much the same, but something must have gotten screwy. I replaced it as you suggested and voila! It's working now.
I do know just enough html to figure out some of the glitchy things that happen, but javascript is a step I haven't taken yet... spoiled by Dreamweaver & other WYSIWYGs, I guess. :-)
THANKS!!
