How to Do a Mouse Over With Frontpage 2003

Using the Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 application you can create Web pages using features and effects for adding content to each website. For example, you can enhance your Web page by adding a mouse over effect--more commonly known as a rollover effect--to an image. When you use your mouse to hover your cursor over an image then another image that you select will appear. The mouse over effect is helpful for adding interactivity for users who visit your Web page.

Instructions

1. Open the FrontPage 2003 file on your computer that you want to create a rollover image in. Click on the image that you want to use for the rollover effect.

2. Click on the "Format" option and then click on the "Behaviors" option. The Behaviors task pane will then appear.

3. Click on the "Insert" option from the Behaviors task pane and then click on the "Swap Image" option.

4. Select the boxes next to the "Preload Images" and "Restore on mouseout event" fields so that they have checkmarks next to them.

5. Click on the "Browse" button. Locate and select the new image that you want your current image to rollover to. Click on the "OK" button and the rollover image will be in effect.
