FP 2000 H/Buttons & JVM

N

Nigel

Hello
Further to the problem of the JVM not being on new
computers / software ( such as Windows XP), rendering FP
2000 hover buttons useless, will the upgrade to FP 2003
solve the problem. i.e. will I be able to create a menu
within FP that will work on most computers / software,
without the use of external 'menu' programs such as DHTML
from 'sothink'?

regards

DHTML is not an external 'menu' program. It's just HTML and JavaScript. So,
it's kind of hard to answer your question (I have no idea what "sothink"
is). It is not possible to do anything interactive (such as having menus
open and close) in an HTML document without JavaScript, or a client-side
executable (Java, ActiveX, etc).

Hello Kevin

I was informed on a previous enquirey last week that
Windows XP does not have JVM (Java Virtual Machine) on it,
and therefore the Front Page 2000 Hover buttons (menu)
cannot be read. i.e. they do not appear on the page so a
visitor cannot navigate. So, my question is, does Front
Page 2003 use something else other that JVM to 'drive' the
menu? If not, then upgrading to version 2003 is not the
answer for me since Windows XP users will still not be
able to navigate the site. See what I mean? I will greatly
appreciate your feedback. Murray, another respondent said
the upgrade would solve the problem. With no insult
intended toward him, I just need a second confirmation
that I'm on the right track, i.e. that the upgrade will
solve the problem.

Many thanks
Nigel

That's right, Nigel. FrontPage 2003 has the ability to create onmouseover
buttons that use client-side JavaScript instead of Java applets.
