Hover Buttons & Viewing in Internet Explorer

[Scooby62]

I've recently re-launched my website using hover buttons as my main method of having the user navigate my site. Unfortunately most people can't see them or click on them.

Does anyone know how I can make them visible and useable to the internet world? The reason I used them is that they allowed me to add colour to them which the regular push-buttons do not. I used Microsoft Front Page to create my web and my website url is:

HTTP://www3.sympatico.ca/initiative

Thanks in advance.

Actually they do:

<style type="text/css">
.navbutton
{	width: 120px;
	background-color: #ffff99;
	border: 0px;
	color: #86b300;
	font-family: Helvetica;
	font-size: 14px;
	font-weight: bold;
	height: 24px;
	margin-bottom: 16px;
}

</style>

<input type="button" class="navbutton" value="Home"><br>
<input type="button" class="navbutton" value="Services"><br>
...

Other functionalities (hover color, links) require a little bit of javascript to work in all browsers.

Hi vongrunt.

I see this but some of my friends said they can't see the buttons or use them.

I guess I need to know how I make them viewable in any browser.

AFAIK FrontPage uses small applets (fphover.class) for navigation menus. Users who don't have Java VM installed will see nothing.

Better try with image rollovers. This should work everywhere. How to do it in FP, I don't know (yep, programmer)

What browser are your friends using to view the site?
