Spruce up Domino buttons for IE5

<style type='text/css'>
.button {color:green; font-weight:bold; behavior:url (js-binutton.htc)}
</style>

Create a button on a form.

Open the properties of the button, go to the HTML tab, and assign a class 

of "button" (without the quotes).

Open a simple text editor (e.g., Notepad) and copy the following 
code into it.

<PUBLIC:COMPONENT>

    <ATTACH EVENT="onmouseover" FOR="element" HANDLER="eventMouseOver" />
    <ATTACH EVENT="onmouseout" FOR="element" HANDLER="eventMouseOut" />

    <SCRIPT language="JScript">

	function eventMouseOver()
	{
		this.style.color='red';
		this.style.cursor='hand';
	}

	function eventMouseOut()
	{
		this.style.color='green';
		this.style.cursor='default';
	}
    </SCRIPT>
</PUBLIC:COMPONENT>

Save the file to the following directory/name of your Domino server:

data/domino/html/js-bin/button.htc

(If the directory doesn't exist, create it).

Presto! You have global mouseover and mouseout events for your buttons. With very little effort you can apply this style to every button in an application.
