The reason your image will not change in NN is because you are using layers (or DIV's). Netscape considers a layer as a document within a document so you must reference it like that.

eg.
document.layers[LAYER NAME].document.PROPERTY

Change the "change1" function to the following:

code:

function change1(picName,imgName) {
   if (document.all) {
      document.[picName].src = eval(imgName + ".src");
      }
   if (document.layers) {
      document.layers["message"].document[picName].src = eval(imgName + ".src");;
      }
   }[/code]

You could always achieve the same positioning effect without using absolutely positioned layers. You could either use a table or use images that piece together to make one big image.

This way older browsers will still see your site however the rollovers wont work.
