Viewing htm files from my own computer. AHHHHH!!!!!!

[Paula]

For some reason, I cannot view my hover buttons from my
own Frontpage. But other users on other computers can see
my page perfectly. So the changes I am making work on
other computers, but not my own.

I can however view my gif files fine. Its just the links.

Can't seem to figure this one out. Can someone maybe
provide me with some direction?

Much Appreciated,
Paula

Hover Buttons are the problem. They are not images, they
are Java Applets. To view them you need to have Java
installed on you computer, which MS may no longer
distribute. For this reason, it is recommended not to use
them and to find an alternative, such as DHTML gifs. Here
is an example of one

Can also be done using nothing but CSS
for background "color swaps."
And it doesn't query the server like dhtml
image swaps do.

Some "very basic" examples here:
