The home page of a website I'm building in Front Page contains 7 Hover Buttons. When I open the site using Internet Explorer, everything works properly and loads quickly. Loading the page in NS7.1 is another story. It takes over two minutes to load at cable speed. During the load process, placeholders for the hover buttons appear slowly as grey bars. Eventually the hover buttons load and the remainder of the page loads. Has anyone experienced this and is there a reasonable solution?

Thanks,

JR

Hover buttons in FrontPage are Java applets. They'll work fine in IE since IE has a built-in JVM (MSJava), but Netscape has to go and load a remote JVM from somewhere on your machine. You should note that Java applets are very, very slow to load, since you're running one environment (in this case, JRE) over another environment (MS Windows).

The solution: Change your FrontPage Hover applets to JavaScript modules or use the appropriate CSS to get the style you want.

FRONTPAGE is a MS software so it looks nice on IE, it is not Web standard, try using nVu

Al, there's no such option to create any sort of button in Nvu.

Frontpage 2003 produces very clean HTML code that works fine in any modern browser.

It does? Have you checked the webpages under that validator

Chances are it will never really produce clean HTML (current version 2003 and under, at least). IIRC, FrontPage 2003, or some version of FrontPage, has a bug in it where if you have a very short paragraph it will close the paragraph where it should open it, like </p>short paragraph</p>. The only time you'll really get clean HTML is if you were to put in a very basic page, and even then FrontPage (I think) omits a DOCTYPE declaration, so it'll never be completely valid.
