Need help with my interface
Hi, I made an interface for this website I'm making for a friend and when I run it on my HTML editor it works real nice and smooth. So then I uploaded it in geocities to see how it was going to load and found it very disappointing. I'm just a begginer in this HTML stuff. I just know the stuff that I taught my self so if you can please check it out and tell me what I did wrong. It's at http://www.geocities.com/marinedog187/control2.html
The problem is that it load pretty slow. Well the interface isn't too bad but what I really need help on is the buttons. You have to load each one by putting the mouse over it and holding it over the button till it loads. This is the first interface I've made, did I leave something out? I'm pretty sure you can see the HTML source code but if you want I can e-mail it to you. I've seen other sites that have interfaces that load all the way in just one load. Please help me out because my friend that I'm doing this job for really wants this interface but it just loads way too nasty. Thank you

Hi,
I viewed you page and got a script error. Anyway for the script to work add the script(example) to your page:
<script LANGUAGE="Javascript">
</script>
Just change the images to yours for the mouseover to work.
If you need help go to my page at http://www.copiertrade.com/uni-hosting and test the buttons on the right and copy the code to suit your requirements.
BTW, don't have any text or code after the tag which I noticed that you have it on your page, move it up above the tag
Hope this helps

Hey thanks for that code! It worked really good. I was still haveing problems with the message from the "paint" that needed to load also but I couldn't figure out how to put it in your code. Now, knowing that I needed a java script in there, I looked for what I needed and put it in. Check it out, I think it's good now. Thank you so much for everything, I've been killing myself over this for a long time now! Thanks!

If you're worried about load time, optimize your images.
