Running a server with Microsoft Server and using
Frontpage. The buttons we are using for hyperlinks won't
display on certain computers. It seems to be that those
PCs are running sun java and not ms java.

Is there anyway around this? Can we make it so sun java
displays the buttons?
 
nope...don't use Java hover buttons - they need JVM to be installed on viewer's 'puter.
 
It isn't which Java engine you're running. It's the fact that Windows
systems did not have a JVM for a period of time during which MS and Sun were
fighting. Some computers therefore don't have Java support. And for those
reasons, I would take Crash's advice.

Windows computers shipped within the last couple of years don't have a Java
Virtual Machine built into them. Part of the Sun settlement states that MS
cannot ship a JVM with Windows. That means that Java users have to go to
java.sun.com in order to get a JVM. Nowadays, there isn't as much need for a
JVM to be loaded onto a computer since most of the neat things that web
sites did with Java are now done with DHTML and JavaScript. Best to avoid
Hover Buttons now that there are less and less users out there with a JVM
installed.

Hope this helps,
