Re: "Click to activate this control" problem

Turn it off in IE (if possible but may not be as it could be a permanent
"feature" of IE).

Hello!

I am trying to help someone who has a web site with menu buttons created
by FrontPage and using Java. The buttons used to change color when you
placed the mouse over them, but since the IE update that makes you click
to activate ActiveX controls, etc, the buttons do not work unless clicked
on. The buttons use the fphover.class and fphoverx.class files.

I have Googled and read for hours, trying many different "fixes" that
supposedly work but never do.

Here is the code from a sample test page:

<html>
<head>
<title>test page </title>
<base TARGET="main">
<meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX">
<meta name="rating" content="GENERAL">
<style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {color: #0000FF; text-decoration:
underline; font-weight: bold}
</style>
</head>
<body leftmargin="5" topmargin="10" link="#0000FF">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:
collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="152" id="AutoNumber1">
<tr>
<td width="100%">
<applet code="fphover.class" width="150" height="41">
<param name="color" value="#000080">
<param name="hovercolor" value="#0000FF">
<param name="textcolor" value="#FFFF00">
<param name="effect" value="glow">
<param name="fontstyle" value="regular">
<param name="fontsize" value="14">
<param name="target" value="main">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000080">
<param name="font" value="TimesRoman">
<param name="text" value="Show My IP Address">
<param name="url" valuetype="ref"
value="http://dynamic.thisgoessomewhere.com/checkip.html";>
<a href="http://dynamic.thisgoessomewhere.com/checkip.html";>Show My
IP Address</a>
</applet></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

How can I stop this wonderful new behavior? All of the fixes I have tried
so far have not made my IE6 browser with the latest Sun Java work
properly. Is still have to click to activate.
