Display issues with hover buttons

[Dave H]

I'm having issues where hover buttons are not displaying
correctly (partial or not at all) after the page loads in
the browser. If I scroll the image off the screen and
back on again, the image now is correct. The behavior is
the same for canned buttons in FP 2002 or gif's I've
created myself.

Not sure if this is a problem with the code for the
button or my display driver. Any thought on how to make
this more robust?

Dave-
Hover buttons are Java components, so the browser must
have Java installed. MS may no longer provide their version
(MicroSoft Virtual Machine) so out of the box computers no
longer have this installed. Best thing to do is use DHTML
image swaps which use Javascript. Javascript has nothing to
do with Java, the only similiarity is the name

Any good sources for learning about DHTML image swaps?

It is really quite easy. Place image 1 where you want it.
Click on it and choose >Format >Dynamic HTML and the rest is
pretty much self explanatory. The end result can be viewed

Just hover over any of the vehicles on the main portion of
the page

Mike -

Thanks - no problem doing the image swap. Is there a way
to assign a hyperlink to the second image? That is why I
was using the hover buttons in the first place. I don't
see a means to do it through the DHTML command in
FrontPage - can it be inserted into the code directly?

The hyperlink assigned to the first image will be the one used by the second or "hovered" image.
