"LOST HOVER BUTTONS"

[Mike Selby]

Hover buttons no longer work in either Preview mode or Preview in Browser mode.
I have checked all appropriate dialogue box settings-all OK. All hyperlinks point to the correct page/file
Reports show no broken hyperlinks
When previewing the "field" is there for the hoverbutton but is blank
When checking the programme appears to not recognize .class files and there is no association to these files which I believe relate to Hover Buttons? In properties they indicate "Unknown Programme
Also when testing, Front Page automatically dials up to the internet to attempt to download something but does not find any site/file and nothing happen
I gather HB's work from a small programme built in to Front Page. Can anyone advise its name/location as I think it is lost
I have tried reinstalling Front Page over the top of the original but this has not solved the problem
Any help/suggestions would be most welcome as the site I am building has a lot of Hoverbuttons and is nearly finished

Do you have the Java Virtual Machine installed on your computer, and Java
enabled in the browser?

I sounds like you may be missing the Java Virtual Machine from your PC. Go
to http://java.sun.com and install it. The hover buttons are Java Applets
and require this. Also, in your code, make sure that the codebase is
pointing to the correct directory where the .class files are and that you've
imported them into your web.

It's best not to use hover buttons any more since many viewers may not be
able to see them.

I never use any FrontPage components that use Java because far too
many viewers don't have the Java Virtual Machine installed in
browsers. This is necessary to show hover button navigation. You can
achieve rollover navigation buttons using JavaScript instead and for
your viewers on dial up connections pages will load much faster.

Do the FP2003 Interactive Buttons run on the same technology as java?
If not how is it different?
Thanks, Deb Mc

The interactive buttons in FP2003 use JavaScript which is a totally
different technology from Java.

Hover buttons require Java Virtual Machine which can be
downloaded from http://java.sun.com
However, most people have quit using Hover Buttons
because windows XP / IE6 do not come with JVM installed.
