458 PointsHelp? I'm having a hard time with un-linking my navigation + caption buttons. It's not green like Nick's demo web page
The buttons suppose to be green until its chosen and then the button should turn blue. My navigation + captions are highlighted different colors rather than one consistent color (green). May you please help me understand where I went wrong.

15,083 PointsI don't see there are any buttons on the page. By the way, you can post your html code here, so it will be easy to get help. Thanks
