Button unlinks when pointer moves over top

On my index page for some reason when I cross my pointer over the <about us>
button, the botton disappears and a red x shows up over it. The button still
goes to the link it suppose to but is acting funny. I've placed the link
below.

Thanks for your time.

The button About Us has this code inside the <img> tag

onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button13.jpg')"
onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'images/button12_2.jpg')"
onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button14.jpg')"
onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button13.jpg')">

Since the image disappears when you mouseover, then it means there is a
reference to an image that it is not present.

I don't know the function FP_swapImg, but onmouseover refers to
'button13.jpg', so I guess this is the image that is missing.
It is possible that 'button14.jpg' is also missing since a mousedown doesn't
bring up another image
I think button12_2.jpg is present as it comes back when you mouseout

Check what images are present on the http://www.avilagold.com/ directory

Or just change the code to read:
onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button12-2.jpg')"
onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'images/button12_2.jpg')"
onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button12_2.jpg')"
onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button12_2.jpg')"

Then the button won't change no matter what you do, but this isn't
consistent with the code on the other buttons
 
The path to the button images is probably incorrect. All the buttons
that work have the button images in the images folder - the about us
link looks for the button images in the root folder.

FYI - your page gives a bottom scroll bar in my browser. And you may
wish to revise your use of VML graphics (WordArt, TextBoxes and other
objects created with the FrontPage drawing toolbar) VML is only
visible in Internet Explorer 5.5 running on Windows, other browsers
will only see a very poor quality .gif representation of the image, or
nothing at all.
 
Ronx,

Thanks for the reply. Very new to this. The issue of the bottom scroll bar.
What is that? Instead of the VML graphics, what should I consider?
 
Trevor,

Thanks for the reply. I did move some images from my root directory to the
image folder. Pretty sure when I did that, the mouse functions became
distorded. I'll mess with them.
 
The bottom scroll bar appears when the browser is not wide enough to
accomodate the width of the page. A quarter of internet users have
their screens set to a resolution of 800x600 pixels, or smaller.
Additionally, a significant number of users with high resolution
screens have their browsers opened to a width of 800px or smaller.
Your page is over 900 pixels wide - hence that problem.

As far as VML graphics are concerned - find an alternative. For
pictures, like WordArt, use a graphics editor, for text-boxes, use
table cells or divs and specify borders using CSS.
