can you create triggers in production environment?

Hi at the moment if i try to create triggers or any code there is no new button in our live salesforce account. I created a sandbox project and now i can create the triggers but how do i put these changes in the live system, please help.

There is a deployment process, actually 2 processes, one using ANT tasks, and another using Eclipse.
Details can be found here in the Apex Code documentation
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index.htm

And that document is woefully inadequate!!  I just found the answer (after an hours of trying this and that, reading docs, reading the code in the include JAR file from the ant tool zip file).

You have to have your classes in a directory called Classes and your Triggers in a directory called Triggers.  It doesn't work otherwise.  Also, specifying 'runTests all="true"' didn't pick up the classes and triggers from my local dir, it only ran tests for classes that were already compiled in Salesforce.

Sorry, that should have said:
  'runTests alltests="true"'

HI,
 
We have succesfully deployed trigger codes in production environment using ANT deployment tool. It works fine if you are able to crack the test coverage section. establisihing the setup has to followed as per the guide suggested above.
For deployment test coverage should be 75% atleast...
