May I obtain the above effect using Frontpage or writing codes in html?
Have you some code or some link for me to test? Thanks

Here is a nice lesson with CSS, Javascript, and Html. Just copy
everything below into a file and play.
<html><body>
<!--
The CSS
We will make 2 different "classes" ... one with the first style ..
then one with the mouse over style.
-->
<style type="text/css">
.theStyle1, .theStyle2 {font: bold 10pt verdana; padding: 4px;}
.theStyle1 {background-color: #E3EEE2; color: black;}
.theStyle2 {background-color: #0E4E07; color: white;}
</style>
<!-- Now the button -->
<input type="button" class="theStyle1" value="Test Button"
onMouseOver="this.className='theStyle2';"
OnMouseOut="this.className='theStyle1';">
</body></html>

Please don't recommend using points (points are for printing), nor
Verdana. See this:

Why mess with that when you can do it with CSS. Here's a sample of
buttons I wrote years ago.

theStyle1 & theStyle2 are bad names for Classes
^^^ ^^^^^^^^
Points are for printing not display and Verdana is M$ only and you did
not specify a generic family so for non-M$ systems a *serifed* fallback.
If you want a shortcut, then only specify a generic font family.
Also this would not address keyboard only interaction. Here is how you
could do it with CSS and add support. Now MSIE7 does support :hover
pseudo class on non-links but not :focus so you still need the HTC hack
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-us">
<title>Better</title>
<style type="text/css">
..trickedOut { font: bold 100% sans-serif; padding: .25em; color: #000;
background-color: #E3EEE2; }
..trickedOut:hover,
..trickedOut:focus {color: #fff; background-color: #0E4E07; }
/* MSIE6 hack via 'MS behavior' and HTC file attached to element*/
..trickedOut { behavior: url(IEFixes.htc) }
/* MSIE special classes .hover & .focus for pseudo classes */
..trickedOut.hover,
..trickedOut.focus { color: #fff; background-color: #0E4E07; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input type="button" class="trickedOut" value="Test Button">
</body>
</html>
And you need the HTC file "IEFixes.htc". I've modified it a bit over the
years:
<public:component>
// For MSIE use JScript to attach JS functions to compensate
// for missing pseudo-class support
// from Vladdy http://www.vladdy.net/Demos/IEPseudoClassesFix.html
// updated for html4.01 jnl 3/06
// added focus|blur jnl 5/07
<public:attach event="onmouseover" onevent="DoHover()">
<public:attach event="onmouseout" onevent="RestoreHover()">
<public:attach event="onmousedown" onevent="DoActive()">
<public:attach event="onmouseup" onevent="RestoreActive()">
<public:attach event="onfocus" onevent="DoFocus()">
<public:attach event="onblur" onevent="RestoreFocus()">
<script type="text/jscript">
function DoHover(){
element.className += ' hover';
}
function DoActive(){
element.className += ' active';
}
function DoFocus(){
element.className += ' focus';
}
function RestoreHover(){
element.className = element.className.replace(/\shover\b/,'');
}
function RestoreActive(){
element.className = element.className.replace(/\sactive\b/,'');
}
function RestoreFocus(){
element.className = element.className.replace(/\sfocus\b/,'');
}
</script>
</public:component>

What are you testing your code in there bud ... your buttons only work
in IE6 if you mouse over the text ... they work in firefox ok though.
In IE6 if you highlight the button part without the text, your buttons
do nothing.

theStyle1 and theStyle2 were just quickie throws at names that would
obviously not be used ... lol ... please. You guys crack me up.

P.S. My Javascript buttons work fine throughout ... and last I checked
javascript is still used quite a bit in the web world. Also ... I am a
huge fan of CSS, don't get me wrong ... you guys would love my ASP/CSS
script I use for image preloading from an asp array. I like having
definate control of my design including pt control of my text.
Also, let me know when you fix your buttons to work in IE so the color
actually changes when i mouse over the button please!!!
P.P.S. I fixed the little keyboard problem for you ... now if you tab
to the button ... it will also change color ... same with tabbing off
of it.

My last post ... because this post about a button was so important to
Jonathan and Blinky ... I streamlined my button code and changed my
CSS class names for them. Like I said, maybe some day their button
code will work in IE6 ... until then, I would suggest using my
code ... it is less code to mess with for one ... and easier to breeze
through and get back to your business.

Thank you very much, Brynn.
I have tried you code and it works fine.
But...I have some problem on making modifications on the area of buttons.
This is a sample I have made using your code:
http://www.tortebomboniere.com/ng-button.html
As you see, I have three buttons and I intend putting them together many
others into the home page of my web site when I will know how to modify them
).OK about dimensions, colors etc of texts inside the buttons, but:
- Is it possible to decide the width of the buttons? Now it depends on the
length of the text - short text, narrow button - long text, large button
- How can I write two or more rows of text inside a button? It is important
because in some case I must write a long text in a normal width button.....
P.S. Have I written correctly your code for each button, or is it possible
"shrinking" it?
Thank you for your help and your time,
Paul
