FARAZ QURESHI

I am totally new to frontpage. Kindly guide me how to insert a hover/rollover
button on my page? Where can I find the different designs/samples. I am using
Frontpage 2000.
 
Use the he FrontPage Editor command Insert | Component | Hover Button.

Hover Buttons are really little Java applications (don't confuse Java with
JavaScript, which, despite their similar names, are two different languages
entirely). As such, they require Java to be installed on the users'
computer. This used to be part of the standard Windows Operating System, but
Java is no longer part of Windows XP. If the user doesn't have Java
installed on his or her computer, then the Hover Buttons will not appear and
your site may be completely un-navigable. Anyway, even if you *do* have Java
installed on your computer, Java isn't supported by all web browsers...

Some people also turn off the java for security reasons.

Thanx Tom!

XCLent tip! However are there any additional samples/themes of buttons
available on the net?
 
I fell into the Hover Button trap, and when my computer was finally upgraded
I discovered just as Tom stated.

I replaced my hover buttons with one of the many possibilities of DHTML.
This allowed me to use an image of a button, and when hovered over a
different image replaced it.
 
Hi Faraz,

There are many places where you can download or generate button images that
you can use. Here's one:
