coding problem to making hover buttons function

[mira_lin]

i have a problem to make a hover buttons function..

here is my coding:

<applet code="fphover.class" codebase="./" width="120" height="24">
<param name="color" value="#000080">
<param name="hovercolor" value="#0000FF">
<param name="textcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="text" value="C Programming">
<param name="effect" value="glow">
<param name="url" valuetype="ref" value="http://metalab.uniten.edu.my/~azhana/indexCProg.html">
</applet>

can you find what my mistake, and do a correction on it?

What language is this?

I'm guessing it's some embedded Java applet in the webpage...
Since I know nothing on the fphover.class object, an know nothing of which arguments it can handle, I'm not to much help here..

sounds like a M$ FrontPage extension.

frontpagehover

A shame people still use that software to write HTML 3.0 websites. There are way better methods these days like Whatever:hover HTC.

nothing wrong with you using FP. It was just an opinion of mine to let you know that there are better ways these days.
However, to understand whatever:hover you must understand html and css. FP just makes you forget about that since it does the work for you for Internet Explorer.

Now there's more on this world other then IE, like: firefox, opera, safari, konqueror, dillo, etc.

To my knowledge it seems you want buttons and when you hover your mouse over them they must look different.
CSS allows 'hover' these days so there's realy no need to use java to get a hover.

body
{
	behavior:url(inc/htc/csshover.htc);
}

input[type="reset"], input[type="submit"], button, .button
{
	background: transparent url(../images/button.gif) no-repeat;
	border-width: 0;
	height: 20px;
	width: 80px;
	padding: 0 2px 2px 2px;
	font: 1.1em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	cursor: pointer;
}

input[type="reset"]:hover, input[type="submit"]:hover, button:hover, .button:hover
{
	background-image: url(../images/button_hover.gif);
	color: #009;
}

Old browsers like IE which only support webstandards of BEFORE 1999 don't understand :hover and therefore FP has the fphover.class.
whatever:hover just makes IE browser do the same as any other browser supports these days, so there's no need anymore to use java.

I hope you now understand a bit about webstandards and the old age of IE and Frontpage.
