// DESCRIPTION
// Many sites use a Microsoft Frontpage Java applet to generate
// hyperlinks with fancy (for 1995) rollovers. This script converts
// them into regular HTML buttons. It tries to retain as much styling
// as it can from the applet parameters.
//
// NOTE: You'll still sit around and wait for the applets to load
// before they get converted unless you disable Java.
