Can't display hover buttons

[CAPTAINSMILES]

What setings must be changed in order to allow for
frontpage hover buttons (used for navigating a website)
to be displayed? I have only one pc that can't display
the hover buttons for navigating. Other pcs are fine. I
beleive front page hover buttons are just a small java
scripts/applets.

Hover buttons are java applets which require
that Java Virtual Machine is installed on a machine
to view them.
Windows XP with IE6 does not come with JVM, and
it must be downloaded and installed from www.java.sun.com
by the user.
For this reason most folks no longer use hover buttons.

JVM and javascript are two entirely different things.

Exactly. Seeings they are java applets (javascripts are
completely unrelated) the browser must have the Java Virtual
Machine installed. MS is no longer allowed to distribute
their version so you must get it from sun
(http://java.sun.com). Due to this fact, it is recommended
to stay away from Hover buttons and replace them with
javascripts or DHTML image swaps.

Hover buttons are Java applets and IE doesn't support that anymore. So it is
best to find an alternate.

The Hover Buttons in FrontPage require the Java Virtual Machine to be
installed on your client. Fresh installs of Windows XP do not include the
Java Virtual Machine. You can download it seperately. Sun Microsystems
has the JVM available on their site for installation.

user must have java turned on (since it is a client-side program and relies on
the user having it turned on).for starters.
