Using the "alt" function in an applet

[Wanabe]

I've created a web page using Front Page and I have several Hover Buttons configured. I would like to use something similar to the "alt" tag used in HTML so that a brief description of the buttons function appears when the mouse moves over the button. It looks like Front Page uses applets to create these hover buttons and there are no "img" tags associated with them.

So how do I create the same affect in an applet as would be the case if I used "alt" in HTML?

Thanks,

You can do it using java.awt package, use the Window class to create a window, insert a label in it, then use the mouseover event to show the window when the user moves the mouse over the button.
If you didn't get it, I can explain it more.

Thanks aym_7.

Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with java and don't know the syntacs of what I would need to do.

Can you provide me with an example?

Thanks,
