I designed a website in X4 which has a few rollovers, 5 to be exact. When I export to HTML only 3 of the 5 rollovers work. 4 of the rollovers are powerclipped images into a shape and the 5th is a text link rollover. I'm really only interested in exporting HTML out of CorelDraw, not bringing it into another program like Dreamweaver, so if anyone has any ideas why it might not be exporting properly, I'd love to hear your suggestions! Thanks a lot.

do they work with the preview before publishing, both in DRAW and in explorer? If not go back to file, edit roll over's and check the states jsut to make sure nothing was changed by accident.

Yes, the rollover states are as they should be and the live preview of the rollovers does work before publishing. I even tried converting to curves to no avail, sometimes that can help when exporting to a printer, I thought maybe it could have affected this as well. The images that are supposed to be rollovers aren't even showing up as links either when I publish to HTML. The most annoying part is that it works when I publish using Styles vs. Tables, and I wanted to publish with Tables for max compatibility, but if I can get it to work with Styles, I think I'll be happy. Most modern browsers support them. Thanks for the info though!
sry but process of elimination. Seems maybe the top one in the powerclip is what may be the only one publishing? Without seeing the page Is there a way you can extraxt them from the powerclip and try that way? Retain their exact spot just not powerclipped.
I will try 5 rollovers powercliped here and see what happens. Will have to try tomorrow as it is fireworks time here
I appreciate your help looking into this. I just tried to extract the powerclipped image and it doesn't seem to want to let me. Maybe once you convert it to a rollover you can no longer treat it as a powerclipped image. I have more pages to do for the site anyway, so I'll keep plugging away. Please let me know whatever you find out though, that'd be awesome of you, thanks!
BTW...happened to read your bio on your website and noticed you've been in the screen printing industry awhile. It's funny, I've worked at 2 different screen printers and they've both used CorelDraw and Xante laser printers for films. I will admit that CorelDraw is easier with separations than Illustrator (and CorelDraw in general is much more user friendly). But, thought it was cool to see another designer still working in that industry, I work at a screen printer and just started doing freelance this year through my company.
Anyway, thanks again!
Anything to do with HTML and Draw is questionable.
I think the general consensus is 'don't waste your time with it'.
For lots of different reasons... search the posts where there is one where we talked about lots of alternatives.

Heh, yeah, I'm figuring that out. Broke down and dusted off Dreamweaver because CorelDraw just wouldn't act right. Blah, anyway, thanks for all the tips.
