problems with mouseovers

I recently played with a mouseover script for some buttons on my site. It works, but weirdly. I have to wait for each individual button to download the mouseover image. Obvously I've screwed up in how I wrote the script. Any clues? Thanks much in advance for whatever help. Here's the page in question:

The script has to go INSIDE the <head></head> tag, not after it. I also don't see where the images are being pre-cached.

You also have a whole lot of </head> tags... Have you validated your code? www.htmlvalidator.com/lite is free and you can use it offline and it will help you with that sort of issue (nesting errors) that will throw off JavaScript.

AND you have the whole script in there twice.

What are you using?

There's no good way to say this. Word is NOT an HTML editor, no matter how much M$ tries to tell you it is.

Second thing -- you only need to have the function ONCE, in the <head></head> tags, not before every rollover.

You can have the images loaded in the <body> tag or in the <head> tag by declaring an array and lising the images.

You wrote this script?

Okay, good to know. I've downloaded cselite and will give it a go.

Didn't mean to imply that I authored the script. I got it from First Page, one of the editors I utilize along with Webford and others (yes I know Word isn't an html editor). But I didn't want to lay the blame on anyone or anything else. Hence the use of the pronoun "I" okay?

I'm on it, and thanks for your help.
