ActiveX and mouseovers

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 02.2007

Hey guys. new to the forum. Not on top of the whole lingo. I’m an aspiring web developer, always done little projects. What I need help with is this: I have recently experimented with rollovers for links. I have 7 links at top of a page with each link having two pictures (ie. the mouseout and mouseover pictures). My issue is I find it to be a pain in the rear for people to have to allow the active content to have the rollovers work properly. Any help with getting around this would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks alot…

@eckhabauthorJan 02.2007 — I shoudl also add. All my pages and projects have been used with frontpage. I have extension knowledge with CSS and HTML at best. Java is my weak point. So I use frontpage just to do things quicker and not have to spend so much time scripting, instead developing the design. SHould I simply jsut use the frontpage DHTML mouseover to prevent this or is there a way with the javascripting to not have to use the active content thingy

@felgallJan 02.2007 — ActiveX only works with JScript or VBscript running on Internet Exploder. Modern web browsers don't understand it at all and Microsoft has built a lot further protection into IE7 to stop most activex from running (activex is the cause of hundreds of unpluggable security holes in IE6).

@eckhabauthorJan 02.2007 — okay. i would use css, but am i just not knowledagble when i say, can't u simply jsut change test colours with CSS on mouseovers, or can u do image swaps. i want to have a circle and the word and when u mouse the image the cirlce colour changes (in short) .. ... to the response about activeX not being read in browsers. thats excellent, BUT it doesn't answer how can I do a mouseover of images so that someone can go to my site and mouse over without having to activate something... anyone have a script or advice?

@OverstatementJan 02.2007 — Hey, what happened to your capitalization and sentence structure?

Yes, CSS can change the background image when the mouse is over a button but if you REALLY want to Javascript it:
<i>
</i>&lt;a href='#' onmouseover="this.firstChild.src='mouse-over.JPG'" onmouseout="this.firstChild.src='mouse-out.JPG'"&gt;&lt;img src='beginning-pic.JPG' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Success!
