Unfortunately, this actually doesn't have anything to do with FrontPage. Due
to a patent lawsuit filed by Eolas against Microsoft, Microsoft was forced
to change the way that Internet Explorer handles embedded objects such as
Flash and Java. They now require a user interaction to click on the object
to activate it. The Opera browser also is using this approach as well
pro-actively. The best way around this is not to use the components when you
can avoid it.
In this case, the hover buttons are a bad choice to use because they are
based on Java and the number of computers that have a Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) on them necessary to run Java are extremely low as interest in the
language has fallen greatly from it's height in the dotcom days. A DHTML
image swap is a much safer and predictable route to go.
Hope this helps,
