FP98: Hover Buttons and Banner Ads Show Class Not Found

ID: Q178483

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you create a hover button or banner ad using images contained in the Web, Microsoft Internet Explorer may display the following error message:

load: class fphover not found
NOTE: Other browsers may result in different problems.


CAUSE

When you create a hover button or banner ad and the page has not been previously saved, you can save the .HTM file anywhere in the Web. However, the codebase for the Java applet shows up as "_fpclass" rather than "../_fpclass." Therefore, you will receive the error message described in the "Symptoms" section if the Web page is not saved in the root of the web.
