Hoover Buttons Problem

S

Sharon

When in edit mode all my hoover buttons show up just
fine, but when viewing in the browser none of them work.
They look fine On 2 other computers I have. Is there some
setting in my IE that needs checked?

Thanks for your help!

Hover Buttons may look nice, but they are getting less use
these days and a lot of people will tell you not to use them
at all. There is a good reason behind it, as they are
actually Java applets. To view them, you need to have Java
installed. MS is no longer providing Java due to a court
ruling saying they cannot. They will no longer support
there version of it soon. In reference to your problem, do
you have Java or the Microsoft Virtual Machine on your
computer? If not, there are places that still distibute it.
Another source for it is AOL, as they distribute the MS
version on all of their CDs. I heavily used hover buttons
for a navigation bar when I first started using FP. I have
since replaced that nav bar with one that uses javascript,
which does not need the JVM installed. I would suggest you
do the same

Thanks Mike, good suggestion. What navigation bar do you
use?

I also have a photo gallery made with the banner function
which I cannot view on my machine but others here can
view it. What other slide show program would you suggest?

Thanks for your input.

I am using "Top Navigation Bar III" from Dynamic Drive, it
is used on this page there:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/topmen3/index.htm

and I have it all over my website
http://www.LannonFire.com

I have no experience with photo galleries or banners. I'm
kind of new to all of this myself.
