SiteGrinder
What are the SiteGrinder hints associated with buttons?
The following hints are relevant to buttons:
- -button, -b
- Specifies that a layer or layer set will respond to a click by instructing the web browser to load some resource from the web. Usually this is simply another page the SiteGrinder is building, but it can be a page from another site. "-button" can be abbreviated as "-b".
- -rollover, -r
- Specifies that a layer or layer set will visually replace the layer or layer set with the corresponding -button link while the web page user is rolling the mouse pointer over the -button layer. "-rollover" can be abbreviated as "-r".
- -popup, -p
- Specifies that a layer will become visible elsewhere on the web page when the corresponding button layer is rolled over. A layer named "Gallery-button" will, while rolled over, will cause a one or more layers or layer sets named "Gallery-popup" to become visible. "-popup" can be abbreviated as "-p".
- -popdown
- Specifies that a layer or layer set will become hidden on the web page while the corresponding "-button" layer is rolled over.
- -hide
- Specifies that a layer or layer set will become hidden on the web page while any button with a popup is rolled over.
- -link
- Specifies that the contents of a type layer contains a hyperlink to another web resource, usually a web page. This resource will be loaded by the web browser when the user clicks on the corresponding "-button" layer.
- -@link
- Specifies that the contents of a type layer contains an email link that will open as a new message in the user's email program. Email links can include both an email address and a subject line.
- -text
- Forces a type layer to be output as CSS text rather than a graphic. This hint can be used in concert with the "-button" hint to create a text button, as in "Gallery-text-button". This same result can be achieved by setting the type layer's anti-aliasing to "None" in the Photoshop document.
- -thumb
- This is a SiteGrinder 2 Pro hint. When used in a gallery context, SiteGrinder can optionally have a button link like a thumbnail, but maintain its own graphic (rather than having it graphic be taken from the picture in question). Example usage: firstimage-thumb-button

Also note that, while not hints, there are some full button names that are uniquely handled by SiteGrinder.
- next-button & prev-button
- These are SiteGrinder 2 Pro names. When used in a gallery context, these buttons will go to the next or previous page of the gallery, when appropriate. If used on a regular page, they'll just go to the next or previous page in the SiteGrinder page listing. When there is no appropriate "next" or "previous" destination these buttons will be simply be removed automatically by SiteGrinder, or in some cases, disabled. For more information, see their documentation.
- up-button
- This is a SiteGrinder 2 Pro name. Used exclusively on -gallery pages. This button is used to automatically navigate between a picturebox page and a page of thumbnails when those two are separate pages. up-button is documented here.
