How do I make a Hover Button respond to a single click?

[Jan]

I could swear that my buttons on my nav bar used to require only a single
click. Now when I click once I see the name of the page it should be linking
to in the bottom status bar, but it doesn't navigate there. I have to click
that button again. Any ideas?

Here's how. Rip them out and replace them with interactive buttons. Hover
buttons are obsolete now....

The reason you need two clicks is that Microsoft's response to the EOLAS
lawsuit was to modify the way that IE handles the <object> tag. This is the
result.

Add to this insult the fact that most people do not have the Java engine
installed so that they can even *see* your hover buttons and you have a dead
duck, I believe.
