Dreamweaver help from clever people

Hi, I should probably submit this in the A Levels sections but I doubt they could help me much so here goes.

Ive got a school project in and im designing a site. Im having a few problems with it at the moment and im just wondering if you can help me out at all.

1. Is there any kind of code to place on an image to make it a forward button.

2. Once youve started baseing your pages off a template, can you still alter those individual pages (ie the head> part not just an editable region). I have various popup windows and I cant get the code to make them come in different sizes because I cant change the code in the different pages as it is protected by the template.

3. What image file format would IE support for using an image with a clear background. For example, I use mozilla and it supports .png's but IE doesnt so it looks stupid when I run the site on IE.

Thanks for any help you can give me at all.

If your using dreamweaver then just click on your image and put when you want to forward in the link part.

Gif will do index transparency, but not alpha transparency which is why you were probably tying to use png.

Popups are bad, what about people viewing the site on PDA / mobile phone or blind users using a screenreader? (all the &nbsp; in the code will really screw up that)
Theres a bizarre mix of CSS and tables. Convert the whole thing to CSS, you'll need some box-model hacks to get it working with IE propperly too.
