Default roll over - 09-24-2003 , 01:41 PM






i am trying to add a very simple roll over for my website. when the pages
load most of the images load but there are a couple that don't. if i roll my
mouse over the images that don't come up, they will appear. does anyone have
any suggestions? i checked my image size and it's ok.

thanks!

~kim

You've mistyped the names in the src attribute of the image tags.
Maybe because your SHIFT key isn't working.

Too legit to shift.

Hi Douglas, thanks for your reply. I'm new at this so could you please
explain your answer?

I checked the spelling and couldn't find anything.

This is the source:

<script language="javascript">
<!--

if (document.images) {

// On images

image1on = new Image();
image1on.src="images/home-on.gif";

image2on = new Image();
image2on.src="images/volunteer-on.gif";

image3on = new Image();
image3on.src="images/faq-on.gif";

image4on = new Image();
image4on.src="images/trials-on.gif";

image5on = new Image();
image5on.src="images/safety-on.gif";

image6on = new Image();
image6on.src="images/community-on.gif";

image7on = new Image();
image7on.src="images/staff-on.gif";

image8on = new Image();
image8on.src="images/links-on.gif";

image9on = new Image();
image9on.src="images/contacts-on.gif";


// Off images

image1off = new Image();
image1off.src="images/home-off.gif";

image2off = new Image();
image2off.src="images/volunteer-off.gif";

image3off = new Image();
image3off.src="images/faq-off.gif";

image4off = new Image();
image4off.src="images/trials-off.gif";

image5off = new Image();
image5off.src="images/safety-off.gif";

image6off = new Image();
image6off.src="images/community-off.gif";

image7off = new Image();
image7off.src="images/staff-off.gif";

image8off = new Image();
image8off.src="images/links-off.gif";

image9off = new Image();
image9off.src="images/contacts-off.gif";
}

function imgOn (imgName) {
if (document.images) {
document [imgName].src = eval(imgName + "on.src");
}
}
function imgOff(imgName) {
if (document.images) {
document[imgName].src = eval(imgName + "off.src");
}
}
// -->

</script>

The error is probably in your HTML, not the JavaScript.

Why the eval ?

document[imgName].src = imgName + "off.src";

===

Special taskforce against the senseless proliferation of the evil eval.

Who taught you to do this? Who told you to misuse the eval() function that way?
I want to know.

People who are new at this should never use eval(). Never. But you should get in
the habit of making your code more readable. It is hard to make it right if it
is hard to look at.

function imgOn(imgName) {
if (document.images) {
document[imgName].src = imgName + "on.src";
}
}

Thanks! I checked and checked my html but still can't find anything.
Would it be bad to post it to see if you can find something wrong?
Please forgive me if this is not appropriate.
