Hover buttons will not appear

[Guest]

I am working on an intranet site so I don't know how you guys would be able
to see my problem. Please tell me how I can package the site so you guys can
review my issue. My hover buttons (gif images) are all located in the same
folder and I made sure that the paths are correct, but every morning when I
check the site, I get gray boxes instead of the gif images. I have to
insert the same path that is already there and hit save and deploy in order
for my images to show up. What am I doing wrong?

Post an example of the path to the images.

Hi Steve,

I am not quite sure what you mean by your comment. Could you please elaborate?
I typed the entire path (e.g. http://blah/blah/blah.gif) in the hover
browse window and it's still doing the same thing.

In FrontPage, with the page open switch to code view.
Copy and paste the html code for one of the links into a reply here.

value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="color" value="#F2F4F7">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#F2F4F7">

Ah, Hover Buttons.

Hover buttons require Java Virtual Machine, which no longer comes with
windows since Windows XP SP-2

For that reason, most people have stopped using them and use DHTML (
javascript ) and image swaps instead.

If your PC (or any others) has been updated with the latest security
patches, Hover Buttons have to be activated before they will work.

I was out yesterday. Thanks Steve for this information. You've been most
helpful. I will change the script to DHTML like you have suggested.
