In this tutorial I will teach you how to make an image rollover using CSS and Adobe Illustrator. It’s pretty straightforward and shouldn’t take you more than a couple of minutes. I’ve included the HTML, CSS, and image below the video.

For some reason this simply won’t work for me…. Can you check your code?

Oh, sorry about that duder. I figured things out… Dreamweaver is such a pain at times. One note: I think there should be a forward slash to end your ‘link’ tag.

P.S. I’ll be keeping an eye on your tutorials. You’re a great teacher.
