Strange phenomena and miscellaneous advice
 

 
An extra window appears when I use a mailto: URL
 
Solution: write in the frame target "_self" after the mailto: URL. Example from an index file: "LINK:mailto:bob@foobar.com,_self". This may be a Microsoft idiosyncracy.
 

 
The links don't seem to do anything when I click on them.
 
Solution 1: add a frame target afterwards (e.g. "main"), not forgetting the comma between the URL and the target.
 
Solution 2: if using Frontpage, remove <base target="main"> from the HTML source (in the header) and remember that Frontpage may try to reinsert this.
 
Solution 3: read this.
 

 
I used a percentage width or height for the applet and it doesn't work under IE4.
 
Solution: this is a bug added by Microsoft to build 2339 of its JVM. Do not use percentage heights/widths if you wish to be VM 2339 compatible.
 

 
My applet flickers when the page is scrolled - but none of your demos do this.
 
Solution: remove the bgproperties=fixed attribute from the <BODY> tag of the HTML page holding the applet.
 

 
The last item doesn't show up properly on the menu
 
There seem to be a number of slightly varying Netscape bugs like this in a very few Netscape versions running on certain operating systems.
 
Solution: add an extra empty menu item at the bottom of the index file.
 

 
My Magic Buttons text jumps from one button to the other - weird!
 
This is caused by entering the button widths and heights incorrectly in the parameters. It may also be caused by a button graphic file in which the 1 pixel spaces between the buttons have been forgotten.
