MS Frontpage Issue

[raezer00]

Hello,

I used to build web-pages as a hobby a few years ago, several of them(web pages). I remember those years ago I commonly used image flips, a very effective trick. A thing I noticed back then was how complicated it was to implement image flips into a page. And so I downloaded frontpage and still wrote my pages using notepad except for the imageflips. I remember frontpage used to have a nifty little button/tool for imageflips. Press the button, pick the two images and bam! there it is. So much simpler than all that complex javascript.

And so, it's been 3-4 years and I've reimmersed myself into html, a little rusty but I still have it and... I downloaded frontpage... 2003 which I was sure had the tool in it and it seems it doesn't.. does anyone know how I might be able to access the tool? Whether it's under a name other than image flip? I can't remember.. I might have to resort to going straight code allthough I don't really want to. I'm going to try and find 2004 or later and see if that works. til then any help would be greatly appreciuated

There is no newer version of FP than 2003, it was replaced with Expressions Web. I have Expressions, and did a search in the help files for "image flip" and nothing useful comes up. So I suspect it doesn't have that feature. I don't know what "image flip" does, so I can't help much with actually implementing it.

Image flip is a command where a "user" moves their cursor onto an image and upon their cursor moving onto that image: the image then transforms into another image such as a button lighting up once a user hovers their cursor ontop of it. Do you understand now? Can you please help me?

Thank you for your time....

So you are looking for an onmouseover event that changes images, similar to using graphical buttons for navigation (looks one way when normal, but when the user scrolls over it with the mouse it changes)?

Aye (Yes)...

My first bit of advice would be to scrap FP and get Dreamweaver, as the most up-to-date version CS4 includes all of the functions that you are no doubt going to need. :)

To code a onmouseover effect is pretty simply, check the links...
