Adding simple interactivity to slices

The drag-and-drop rollover method is a fast and efficient way to create rollover and swap-image effects.

Specifically, the drag-and-drop rollover method allows you to determine what happens to a slice when the pointer passes over it. The end result is commonly referred to as a rollover image. Rollover images are graphics that change appearance in a web browser when you move the pointer over them.

When a slice is selected, a round circle with cross hairs appears in the center of the slice. This is called a behavior handle.

By dragging the behavior handle from a triggering slice and dropping it onto a target slice, you can easily create rollover and swap-image effects. The trigger and target can be the same slice.

Hotspots also have behavior handles for incorporating rollover effects. For more information, see Creating hotspots.
