Hover Buttons

S

Steve Easton

Hover buttons require Java Virtual Machine in order to function.
Windows XP and IE 6 do not come with JVM, and it must be downloaded and installed from Sun java by
the user.

For this reason, most people have stopped using Hover Buttons.

Note: Java virtual machine and "javascript" are two different things.

How can they do that.They are just going to delete a feature of Frontpage and
not tell the users. This is ridiculous. What kind of company does that.

They didn't delete the feature of FrontPage.

A web designer should have some knowledge of web design, browser
compatibility, and what works or doesn't work in browsers and in webs.

Sometimes you have to learn some things on your own. It can't all be handed
to you.

It is a result of the Sun lawsuit.

FP still allows you to add them, etc. but without the JVM, not Java applet from any company will
work.

At the same time I shouldn't have a feature offered by a microsoft product
not work in a microsoft browser.

Neal,
The kind of company that does this is the kind of company
obeying the laws and courts- through an agreement with Sun
Microsystems MS may no longer distribute Java
Solution- use newer technologies such as dynamic HTML image
swaps. This can provide even better results as you can not
only use different types of images (ie jpg, gif, etc), the
gifs can be animated.

The MS Version has always been better than Sun's, as it was modified to provide the best experience
for Windows users. If Sun, had thought about this more, they should have allowed all OS vendor to
modified to provide the best experience under their OS.

Thomas,
What I find surprising is that MS's version of JVM worked/works better than Sun's. JMO. Sun's bogs
down and won't shut down..annoying - but we've talked about this before.
