Rollover vs hover button

[Jim Scott]

Since using 'rollover' to change text colour is frowned upon by strict html
users because it is FP specific, is using 'hover button' any more
acceptable?

No
- Hoovers are JAVA and not universally supported

Just use CSS and/or JavaScript (for images)

Just Change the tag

<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {color: #FF0000; font-family: Arial}</style>

to

<style type="text/css" >
A:hover {color: #FF0000; font-family: Arial;}
</style>

Why are rollovers frowned on? Or do you mean using graphic images with
image swaps?

My question would be WHO frowns upon them? The statement is made as if it is
a universal behavior.

I am trying to clean up my html to remove FP proprietary functions. One of
those is fprolloverstyle and that was what I was talking about. Its
replacement by type="text/css" seems simple enough so that is what I will
use instead. No big deal.
