Hover Buttons

Can you create a hover button that will open another instance of a browser?
What I am trying to do is create a pop up window with at printer friendly
version
of the page currently on. It would be nice to bring up the printer dialog
box as
well. How would one accomplish this?

I do not have the knowledge to answer your questions, but I
will tell you that hover buttons require Java which is no
longer available from MS, and most developers are not using
them for this reason.

It is just a standard looking button, nothing fancy, but
it does have a hover effect and will do the trick.

1. Put this part in the head of your HTML and just change
Page.htm to the name of the page you want to open. The
rest should be pretty self-explanatory.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function my_win()
{
window.open
('Page.htm','mywindow','width=425,height=560,toolbars=no,l
ocation=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=
yes,copyhistory=no,resizable=no,addressbar=no');
}
//-->
</script>

2. Put this in the Body of your document wherever you
want the placement.

<input TYPE="button" value="Click for Current List"
onClick="javascript:my_win()">

Naughty me, I forgost to tell you the preferred methods of
replacement for them. Either use javascript buttons or you
can make your own button in a graphics program (paint,
photoshop, whatever) and then make another button for the
'effect'. After you import them into your web, place the
gif of the standard button where you want it and then choose
>Format >DHTML and use a mouseover/swapimage combo. Here is
a link to a very simple example:
