Hidden Buttons On Website

  • 1

How do I make hidden buttons on websites show up?

I mean the normal buttons on some websites like Continue or different option buttons don’t show up on my computer screen I have to go on a mouse hunt to find them lol I hover my mouse over all areas of the page till the pointer on my mouse turns into a hand and I click the button hoping its the right one lol

Here’s an example of a site I’m having problems with. I know on the lefthand side of the page next to the house that says Commercial Verifiers

I know there are hidden buttons because when I mouse over them the pointer changes from a pointer to a hand to click on it.

Hope that makes sense to you 🙂

I’m using the latest FireFox browser.

Sorry not much of a techie here lol

I’ve got IE and tried to pop over on different window on IE to see if its same problem and the buttons are hidden there too.

Any clue what to do? Any help is appreciated 🙂

Thanks from Jamie

  1. I’ve downloaded the website you gave me and examined its code offline.
    The buttons pictures appear to be “png” files.

    Go here:
    http://www.mywebsite.force9.co.uk/png/

    Can you see about 6 sets of multi-colored circles on that page?
    I’m trying to establish whether your computer is able to display png files at all.

    One other thing to try. From Firefox go to Tools > Addblock Plus and click Disable everywhere (you can untick this later on). Close Firefox, open it again then see if that helps. I’m trying to find the culprit. If Tools is not showing then hold the Alt key down in Firefox.

  2. I don’t think there ARE any hidden buttons on that page you mentioned. There are “tabs” defined by a css script/code, and these “tabs” work much the same as the ol’ “areamap” tag. When you pointer is positioned over that defined area, it becomes “clickable”(onClick function).
    Perhaps you can provide another website where you believe there are hidden buttons…
