What requests have you submitted?

Have you ever taken the time to read about hover buttons or search for the
posts regarding hover buttons in the FP newsgroups?

There have been numerous posts asked and answered in the FP newsgroups
regarding hover buttons, and we recommend against using them, as they are
not supported in all browsers, plus many versions of Windows XP and IE no
longer have the Java Virtual Machine installed, thus they are not viewable.

Do you have s suggestion on what to use instead of hover
buttons? I think that would be helpful to the novices out
there (like me) who thing they work nicely and have heavily
abused them.

Yes, JavaScript Image Mouseovers would be okay. Look for them in your
favorite JavaScript sites on the net, do a search on google, or review the
many, many posts about Hover Buttons in the FP newsgroups that reference
many sites that you could try.

When FrontPage 2003 releases, you can use Interactive Buttons. If you want
more customized solutions, Behaviors will allow you to customize your
buttons pretty easily. The feature already exists in FrontPage, but it's
much more intuitive and powerful in FP2003.

CSS also works nicely for simple effects like changing
hover colors and background colors.

CSS is easily implemented via inline style statements,
as well as via a seperate style sheet linked in through the
header.

One style sheet can be set up to provide all the effects,
and by simply making the <a tags as block elements:

<style type="text/css"><!--
a, a:visited, a:link, a:active {
display: block;
width: 150px;
color: #ff0000;
background-color: transparent;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
display: block;
width: 150px;
color: #00cc00;
background-color: #3300ff;
}
-->
</style>

Hope that helps some. Very easy to implement and if it's all put into
place inside of a .css page, the same look and feel can be applied to
every page.

The above can be enhanced by making classes...

<a class="topHoverer" href="xxx">xxx</a>

<style type="text/css"><!--
a.topHoverer:hover {
display:block;
text-decoration:underline;
color:#003366;
background-color:#ffff00;
}
-->
</style>
