Hover Button

[JCO]

Does anybody know what a hover button is.
I have a web that contains buttons that FP2003 calls Hover Buttons. I can
bring up a property and modify them but don't understand how they were
created. I've experimented with FP2003 "Interactive Buttons" which are very
similar.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hoover (not a typo) buttons are JAVA applets requiring all users to have a valid JAVA engine (many don't) and security settings to
allow JAVA applets to run (plus they violate screen controls by writing direct to screen and are slow to load) - else they will see
nothing

FP2003 Interactive Buttons are JavaScript controlled standard images (.jpg/.gif) using mouse over / click scripts and do not require
any special settings by 99% of the users (even users w/ JavaScript turned off will still get an image and link that works)

IMHO
Delete the Hoovers and go w/ the new Interactive Buttons
You can even make your own Custom ones to look like your old JAVA buttons
