• A Hover Button Rework
    While nothing is wrong with the Hover Buttons (HBs) in Microsoft® FrontPage 2002, FrontPage 2000 and FrontPage 98 some people have a hard time working with them. Also, Netscape's browser (4.0+) seems to have their own difficulties with this great Java Applet. Thus, here is the "fix" that will make them work for you and the visitors to your site, as long as your guests are using a Java enabled browser.


A Hover Button Rework

1) Make sure all files (picture, sound, fphover.class and fphoverx.class) that you are using with the HB's are saved in the same folder as the HTML doc where you placed the Hover Buttons. (the two .class files can be found in the fpclass folder).


2) Look for this code in the HTML view of FrontPage 98 and 2000:

applet code="fphover.class" codebase="_fpclass" width="120" height="24"

delete:

codebase="_fpclass"

so the code looks like

this:applet code="fphover.class"  width="120" height="24"


3) Make sure that your pictures are either JPG's or GIF's and that your sound files are 8-bit Mu-Law Encoded AU files. (See our download page for a sound editor that will do this)


There you go, you have all you need to make great Hover Buttons :-)
