OnMouseOver questions!!

I use Dreamweaver 6.0, I don't know much about java script, and am trying to
figure out how to use the "onmouseover" command so, on one of my templates,
an image changes when someone rolls their mouse cursor over it. I've
followed a tutorial (see
http://www.javascriptworld.com/scripts/script04.01.html) on how to do it,
but when I do the code and replace it with my file and graphics names, it
does not work.

A couple questions from :

1) Will the "OnMouseOver" command work in preview mode (when in Dreamweaver,
I hit F12 to look at it in my Internet Explorer browser), when the files are
on my local harddrive? Or does javascript require that the files be on a Web
server that supports java?

2) Does all the code need to be on one line? In lots of different tutorials
I've seen, when "OnMouseOver" and "OnMouseOut" are shown in the raw code,
even when they are on one line, there is often a bigger space before those
words. There isn't a special character, extra spaces or a tab that needs to
be used to get it to work, is there?

Thanks for your help!!

Nothing special. just a space before "onmousover/out"

Thanks for your help!!

Show us your code, preferably a URL.

I'm still a newbee too, but picking up information fast. I tried reading
that book JavaScript visually. It really didn't help me much. I would
recommend reading the JavaScript Bible. It helped me get a better grasp of
the concepts. In the mean time make sure the name attribute for the <img>
tag matches document.(the same name as the img name).src.
