Same...

Well... it seems I had the same problem not too long ago Mags. I had it in Javascript, whenever you hover over a button, it should flash a different color. It didn't work when I previewed it... but I am assuming that there is some mistake in the code that you have to fix up. However, what I used was a custom image for the actual button, and a custom button for it when you hover over the original button. I also had sounds when you hover over it too, and a different sound when you click the button. But... if you use the normal hover button your webpage editor has, it will work. But I wanted my cutome made button, created by me. But it seems I got stuck in the same situation as you Mags, it worked on the editor, but not when you preview/upload the page.

Do you use FrontPage 2000 or older versions Mags? Or another program? Perhaps this is what is contributing to the problem...

Beats me... because I know very little of Javascript

Looks like you've jumped into the deep end here mags. No, this isn't Java script, it is a java applet. And there is no way that you can edit the fphover.class unless you have the fphover.java source code. Even then you wouldn't be looking at the source, you should be looking inside the html document for the <applet></applet> tags and modify what is in them. Do you have a link to the page you are trying to edit/create? As their are literaly hundreds of hovering type buttons around.

Thats what is in the middle of it!

<applet code="fphover.class" codebase="_fpclass" width="120" height="24">
<param name="text" value="Contact Us">
<param name="color" value="#000000">
<param name="hovercolor" value="#008000">
<param name="textcolor" value="#FFFF00">
<param name="effect" value="glow">
<param name="url" value="mailto:%20itfaustralia@hotmail.com" valuetype="ref">
<param name="font" value="Dialog">
<param name="fontstyle" value="regular">
<param name="fontsize" value="14">
<param name="image" value valuetype="ref">
<param name="hoverimage" value valuetype="ref">
<param name="sound" value valuetype="ref">
<param name="hoversound" value valuetype="ref">
</applet>

Do I have to upload the fphover to the webhost or not?

I want everything that is in there.... I just wanna get it on the net somehow LOL

Mags

Yes, definately. You need the class file for it to work.

I presume you cut and paste this of another site. Which site did you get this from?

I have the file on my computer only, thats about it.

And no I didnt cut paste of another site, I used it by using the make hover button on Frontpage 98.

So I gotta upload the .class file too the webhost then?

It should work now. As long as you have the fphover.class and html file in the same directory.

 

[Desredandwhite]

Ugh. Mags, what are you doing using FRONTPAGE?!

REAL web programmers write raw code in notepad or in Unix ;-)

But M29 is right on the money. all the stuff in the class file will be needed for the applet to work properly.. it's like saying "refer to diagram A" and having the page with the diagram torn out of the book!

 

[Mags]

Ok, Just when I thought I had it, it ****ed up again

It says the class doesnt find but I have it in the same webhost as the page i want to load it from.



Im not having any luck ****!

Mags

 

[Desredandwhite]

what server are you using? ya gots to make sure you've got it all in the one place.

 

[Bluey]

Is this bit likely to work:
mailto:%20itfaustralia@hotmail.com

?

Make sure the class file is in the same directory as the file you are working with (ie. index.html), otherwise it wont locate it.

You can either do this, or direct it to the DIR like java/blah.class

This should be the problem here, I am not 100% obviously.

Yeh tah mate. I just worked out it was a fault in Microsofts code on the hover buttons in frontpage. Took me 5 hours to work this out as well

This is the code: <applet code="fphover.class" codebase="_fpclass" width="120" height="24">!

I had to take out the codebase="_fpclass"

Its all good now
