Java/Hover Button Problems in FP2002 on XP

I run FP 2002 on an XP.
PROBLEMS:

1) In PREVIEW hover buttons appear but do not link. (In IE
6.0 online they both appear and link.)

2) In PREVIEW a hover button that opens an email window for
messages to us will not display the TO: (EMAIL ADDRESS).
(In IE 6.0 online this also occurs. In Netscape 7.02 the
problem does not exist.)

Desperate for help!

The IE patch (813489) that broke FrontPage preview has done so on purpose for security reasons and there is now a workaround for
this behavior.

The reason the patch broke FrontPage preview is because IE implemented a function in their code to prohibit browsing across zones.

There's a registry key that will instruct IE to allow listed applications to browse across zones. FrontPage is not part of that
registry key.

You can enter it manually and get the preview to work again by Editing your Registry.
- Warning always back up your registry before editing it

Start Run regedit
Find the Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Application Compatibility.
Add the DWORD value FrontPG.exe to the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Application Compatibility.
Set the value to 1.

There will be a KB article posted shortly.

Stefan: is this the proper form the redone registry key should be? --
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Application
Compatibility\FrontPG.exe\

No - That would create a registry KEY not a DWord

The Correct KEY is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Application Compatibility

It has a REG_DWORD of HelpCtr.exe (value=1)
You are adding a second REG_DWORD of FrontPG.exe (value=1)

right click the KEY and select New DWORD Value named: FrontPG.exe, then add a value of 1 for the new DWORD
