You will need implement another menu solution that doesn't use Java.

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.
