IE Rollover Problem in Frame

I would appreciate assistance in resolving a rollover problem which exists only
in all versions of IE but works fine in FF, Opera, Safari, and Chrome. You can
see the page at http://www.moriel.org/Moriel_USA/Moriel_USA.html.

This is a frameset where the rollover menu in the left sidebar automatically
loads the page in the main section to the right. In IE it loads the rollover on
the wrong line (1 below where it should be) but still correctly loads the page
on the right.

I'm sure I'm not the first to experience this but just can't seem to locate
the solution. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Pardon me for saying this but that is simply an awful way to make a website.
It suffers from all of the usual disadvantages of frames (there is no reason
at all for using them here), in addition to the fact that each rollover
required an entirely new page to load in the central frame (i.e., long -
LONG - delay).

In addition, your use of Java on one of the pages ensures that a great many
of your visitors will not see the contents there. That, combined with your
use of an all javascript menu in the top navigation frame -

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"
src="../Scripts/MainNav.js"></script>

means that your site won't be spidered at all. Sorry - but I think your
site layout architecture defeats the very purpose of the site.

I don't see any rollover problem in IE7.

I must agree with Murray with the added caveat:

Users don't expect a rollover to load urls, they would normally click
the link.

In reading another site I resolved the issue so I'll post it here just in case
anyone does the same thing in the future.

When naming each rollover they need to be numbered beginning with "0" instead
of being given unique names in the "Image Name" filed of the "Insert Rollover
Image" dialog box.

That's nonsense.

You are correct. However, using names with spaces in them will reek havoc
with them.

Assuming you mean "wreak", yes, that too! 8)

If not, then your suggestion reeks.

Not really.

document.images["image name here"].onmouseover=function(){...}

Should work fine. No havoc *wreaking* there.
Mick

I just replicated this EXACT solution on 6 additional pages which all now work. And I didn't have spaces in the names to begin with, but did have an underscore. Hope this helps...

You cannot begin a name attribute with a number. You may think it works,
but it won't be reliable.
