SYMPTOMS
When you view a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) document that contains hover buttons in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, you will see a gray rectangle on the page and the following message will appear on the Web browser's status bar.   Exception: Java.Lang.ArraystoreException



CAUSE
The problem occurs when the Java Virtual Machine in Internet Explorer 4.0 displays Java controls at a color depth of 32-bits per pixel.



RESOLUTION
You can work around this behavior by using one of the following methods:

Method 1: Reduce the color depth to less than 32-bits per pixel

 * 1) On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click the Display icon.
 * 3) Click the Settings tab.
 * 4) In the Color Palette list, select a value other than 32-bit color.

Method 2: Use a graphic rather than the hover button

 * 1) In FrontPage Editor, double-click the hover button.
 * 2) In the Hover Button Properties dialog box, click Custom.
 * 3) In the Custom Properties dialog box, click Browse.
 * 4) Select the graphic file you want to use in place of the hover button and click OK.
 * 5) Click Browse.
 * 6) Select the graphic file you want to use for the on hover event and click OK.
 * 7) Click OK.

Method 3: Upgrade to Internet Explorer 4.01


STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0. This problem was corrected in Internet Explorer 4.01.
