I have an intro page to a website. On this page there are two links. The
links aer in specific locations on the page. what i want to do is creat an
area around each button so when the mouse goes in there the back ground
changes to a certain pic that is on a seperate layer of the page. I am using
frontpage 2003. thanks
 
You have the choice of

Interactive buttons;

or

DHTML rollovers
(look up these in Help.)

Don't bother with java applet buttons - since most people won't have Java
Virtual Machine on their systems (especially XP users).
 
To the OP, further to my post below: the method (in my original post) is one
way, this method may be closer to what youo want: are you asking how to make
image-swaps on an Image Map....?

This can be done, but you need in effect a duplicate of the image the "on"
and "off" states. Then you need to use a image program to make two files of
the sliced up image - the "on" and the "off" versions with exactly the same
slice sizes - many programs create an HTML table to re-assemble the image
(eg photoshop, Fireworks).

I use one that just does the slicing & Dicing and exporting as HTML.

Here's the link: http://www.iron-fe-works.com/iw/ - this creates a pure
html table and adds nothing extra to the code

Then you import the "Off" state image/page into your web, then you need to
apply the rollover effect to the various "Slices" that you want to rollover
& have hyperlinks from that will swap to the "on" state, but it will appear
that it is still the one image....

If this seems a bit involved, it is; I'd say it is a bit above a novice
level of skill/understanding here.
 
on my home page of my website, i have two links that are buttons i made. i
have three pictures (all the saem size ) in three different layers in the
background what i want to do is instaed of changing the button picture or
whatever i want the background to change according to which button your mouse
goes over. is that better? thanks
