image rollovers
Please help - code is driving me mad!
I have a rollover script that is supposed to bring up the rollover image in a different cell in a table. But it's not working - when I preview it's not even bringing up any errors! I've pasted the script below:
<script language="JavaScript">
= 3 ) version = "n3";
if ( browserName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && browserVer >=4 )
version = "e4";
if ( version == "n3" || version == "e4" )
{ blank = new Image(106, 68);
blank.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/blank.jpg";
blank2 = new Image(106, 68);
blank2.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/blank.jpg";
about = new Image(106, 68);
about.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/about1.gif";
pubs = new Image(106, 68);
pubs.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/pubs1.gif";
info = new Image(106, 68);
info.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/info1.gif";
press = new Image(106, 68);
press.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/press1.gif";
marketing = new Image(106, 68);
marketing.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/marketing1.gif";
web = new Image(106, 68);
web.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/web1.gif";
ni = new Image(106, 68);
ni.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/ni1.gif";
scotland = new Image(106, 68);
scotland.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/scotland1.gif";
wales = new Image(106, 68);
wales.src = "../../../images/comms%20news/wales1.gif";
}
function rollover (imgname) {
if (document.images) {document[imgname].src = eval (imgname + "o.src"); }
}
function rolloff (imgname) {
if (document.images) {document[imgname].src = ".gif"; }
}
// -->
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i
</script>

I can't post the URL as it's for my intranet at work. Also, it isn't coming up with any error problems but the rollover image isn't showing up either

Open the page in your browser and File Save As to a folder on your desktop saving the images with it.
Zip it up and e-mail it to me at REMOVED TO PROTECT THE MASSES
I will be able to see what is not working faster.

Hi Vincent,
That didn't make any difference - by the way are you also at SitePoint or are there two of you??

Hi jo,
Yep, I've been cloned & recloned
As I said at sitepoint (& would say at javascriptCity, if you had posted there), you have multiple versions of rollover scripts -- none of which you are calling. The "MM" code is (I believe) dreamweaver code. The rest from somewhere else. Check out the rollover tutorials at:
http://www.htmlgoodies.com
http://www.javascriptcity.com
The following makes no syntactical sense
onMouseOver = " blank.src = about.src; ....
the right side of an assignment (about.src) is supposed to be a 'value'; therefore, in this case it would have to be a string. For example, 'somepic.gif'
the left side of the assignment (blank.src) is supposed to be part of the DOM (document object model); therefore, that should be something like:
document.images['blank'].src
which is why you have rollover functions. So, the mouseover should actually look more like this:
onMouseover = "rollover('blank', 'about').....

I'm looking through those two sites and hopefully they'll help - I just need to slow down a bit and learn it properly!!
