FP2000, hover button doesn't take me to target link

[LuckyCharm]

I created a website, vfwpost10018.com, in FP2000, and put a hover button on
the "Blog" page. I had seen various rumors that this control would only be
usable in IE -- yet, IE is the one browser where it DOESN'T work, for me! It
works fine in Netscape, Firefox, and Opera, but not in IE, and I even
upgraded to v.7 RC1 in an effort to resolve! Some of my friends say it works
for them, but I have yet to see it with my own eyes. I can see the button,
and yes it changes from green to pink, but no matter how often or how hard I
click on it from then on, nothing happens.

FWIW, the other aforementioned 3 browsers are the only ones to recognize my
favicon, too. Not a FP problem, but an annoyance nonetheless. I'm thinking of
changing my browser advisory to read "best viewed with Opera" or something.

Anybody got a clue why this thing won't work?

Thanks,

~~Cheryl

Hoovers are JAVA and require any users to have a Java engine installed and browser settings to not block JAVA
- If using FP 2003 use a Interactive button

Thanks Stefan. Yes, my Java platform is up-to-date and functioning properly
-- the rotating images on the home page require Java, and that's working just
fine. Also, the hover button works in Netscape, Firefox, and Opera, as I
already mentioned. I am using FP2000. What could be the problem?

I see your page correctly in Windows XP, SP2, IE6 (Running MS JVM)

FYI: Just because they work for you doesn't mean they will be viewable for your site visitors.

The best thing of all about EW coming out is that HOOVER BUTTONS will go
away....

The only issue I had with it was the 'click to activate'
control
