Hey guys...I'm using MS Frontpage to build a quick webpage. I am attempting to add a few "Hover Buttons" to it (Insert--->Web Component--->Dynamic Effects--->Hover Button).

In "Normal" mode of Frontpage, the buttons look fine. However, when I go to "Previiew" mode, they do not appear. I posted the page to the web anyway, thinking that they might work. They do not.

It appears as if I have some sort of java error. When I open the Java console, I see this:

load: class fphover.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: fphover.class

How do I fix this???

-cd :confused:

ignore the java console, frontpage is using javascript not java for the buttons. i dont think there will be many helpers on here 4 frontpage, bit of a taboo :)

I presumed a button that has some kind off affect applied to it when it's hovered over. Now there's about a gazzillion ways of doing this, here's a very easy to understand one.<img src="off.giff" onmouseover="this.src='on.gif';" onmouseoff="this.src='off.gif';" alt="alternate text" />

Please don't use Front Page for anything, at all. It produces utter rubish, you're almost always better off coding by hand.
