Crash/Robo and Stefan,

Thank you for your help, I never bothered to think that my Web Hosts
server was probably not running Windows and would be case sensitive.
That's what happens when you work 48hr days with no sleep. Thank you
Stefan for catching that one for me. In response to Robo's comment, I
would love to find an alternative to the hover button. Any idea on a
suitable replacement with similar look and setup would be greatly
appreciated. All it needs is the Text in a box look with the click on
and jump to new page functionality. Thanks for all of your help !!!!!!

Java buttons require that the viewing machine have JVM installed. JVM is not installed on some newer machines, your users (XP OS) will have to install JVM from Sun to have the Java Hover buttons work. My machine has JVM and it still was having problems with all the Hover buttons on your site.
