To create a hover button, you can easily implement it through FrontPage 2000来.

Using the Create hover button to add animations to your page is an easy way to use without any scripts. Like any other button, the hover button can also contain hyperlinks to other pages or files. However, when a site visitor clicks or points to a hover button, the difference between the button and the normal button is obvious: it can not only glow, but also display a custom picture and even play a sound effect!
