web programming, part II
Big ups to @paul for explaining the problem with my hover buttons and for offering a fix.
Of course Paul you're right about navigation from the home page not being dependent on java applets...sensible, very sensible.
I did figure out that in most cases IE will load the page and will allow navigation with the old hover buttons, as you predicted -- it just takes a preliminary click, then a follow-up click to actually load the linked page.
But this is definitely not optimal, and those with older versions of IE and with other browsers could easily be stuck on the home page with no way to navigate to others, so that's no good.
I'm going to try to implement @paul 's CSS fix and I'm damn glad to have it. Thanks again, Paul.
If only I had time to update my webpage coding skills past 1998...
