I don't use Front Page myself so cannot tell you how to fix it, but the
problem is that your "hover" applets are looking on your own machine for
their data, rather than on your web page. The line that does this is
generated by FP, and the problem is that the following line,
codebase="file:///C:/Dokumente/My%20Webs/vandaveer_arbeitskopie/",
should be referring to your web page as codebase="vandaveer_arbeitskopie"
(assuming that you've uploaded everything from that folder on your machine,
to your web page). The "file:///C:/Dokumente/My%20Webs/" part is telling
the viewer's browser to look on the C: drive in folder
"/Dokumente/My%20Webs" for the data, and of course it won't be there...

However I suspect that this applet may be one of those FP extensions that
the RootsWeb servers don't support. Elsi or Pat can give you more details,
if it is...
