Could some one please help me. I can't get this simple rollover script&nbsp;&nbsp;working. I would be very grateful if someone could point out where i'm going wrong. This is the Code.<br><br>&lt;html&gt;<br><br>&lt;head&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;title&gt;Cool Image Swapper (RollOver)&lt;/title&gt;<br><br>&lt;script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;&gt;<br><br>// Check for Browser:<br>browserName = navigator.appName;<br>browserVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);<br>if (browserName == &quot;Netscape&quot; && browserVer &gt;= 3) version =&quot;1&quot;;<br>else if (browserName == &quot;Microsoft Internet Explorer&quot; && browserVer &gt;= &quot;4&quot; version = &quot;1&quot;;<br>else version =&quot;2&quot;;<br><br>// Now for the Images:<br>if(version == &quot;1&quot;)<br>{<br><br>anistatic1 = new Image(124,16);<br>anistatic1.src = &quot;not.gif&quot;;<br><br>anistatic2 = new Image(124,16);<br>anistatic2.src = &quot;turning.gif&quot;;<br><br>}<br><br>function ImageSwapper(imgDocID,imgObjName) {<br>if (Version == &quot;1&quot;) {<br>document.images
.src = eval(imgObjName + &quot;.src&quot;)<br>}<br>}<br><br>&lt;/script&gt;<br><br>&lt;/head&gt;<br><br>&lt;body&gt;<br><br>&lt;a HREF=&quot;<A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> <br>onMouseOut=&quot;ImageSwapper('ISwapper','anistatic1')&quot;&gt;<br><br>&lt;img Name=&quot;ISwapper&quot; SRC=&quot;not.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; WIDTH=&quot;124&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;16&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;<br><br>&lt;/body<br>&lt;/html&gt;<br><br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>
 
---&gt; if your browser is NOT netscape with a version &gt;= 3, it is NORMAL that your script doesn't work !!! (because you only do things if version==1)<br>---&gt; you miss one ) here :<br>else if (browserName == &quot;Microsoft Internet Explorer&quot; && browserVer &gt;= &quot;4&quot;<b><font color=red>)</font></b> version = &quot;1&quot;;<br>else version =&quot;2&quot;;<br>---&gt; why don't you set version as an integer ?? (version=1 and if (version==1) and browserVer&gt;4 and ...) <p> <br><a href=mailto:miss_lezard@bigfoot.com>miss_lezard@bigfoot.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
You have to remember I'm a real beginner, this is my first script. I don't fully understand the workings of the language yet. Also I have Internet Explorer 5. I get errors on line 12,41 and 42.
 
<br>did you add the &quot;)&quot; ??<br><br>you don't show the line numbers ;) <br>but i'll try to comment the code for you so at least you understand what you do :<br><br>// Check for Browser:<br>this part actually says : <br>if your browser name is netscape and its version greater than 3, set the version variable to 1<br>if your browser name is explorer and its version greater than 4, set the version variable to 1 also<br>if it's any other browser or version, set the version variable to 2<br><br>// Now for the Images:<br>this part defines the images src <br>ONLY if version=1 (read upper that means : if your browser name is explorer and its version greater than 4 or if your browser name is netscape and its version greater than 3)<br><br><br>now, here's the function you actually call when you click on your link - imgDocID is where in your html code the img will b replaced and imgObjName is the name of the img that will replace the previous one<br>it does it again only if version=1<br><br>function ImageSwapper(imgDocID,imgObjName) {<br>if (Version == &quot;1&quot;) {<br><font color=red>alert(document.images
.src)</font> &lt;--- add this line and tell me if it shows 'undefined' <br>...<br>&nbsp;}<br>}<br><br>-----------<br><br><br><br> <p> <br><a href=mailto:miss_lezard@bigfoot.com>miss_lezard@bigfoot.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
I'd suggest learning a language before using it. <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> has some great tutorials, including JavaScript. Find out what you can, then come back. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>

hey liam!&nbsp;&nbsp;don't be so poopie.&nbsp;&nbsp;maybe dh20 has to write this script now...for his job or something.&nbsp;&nbsp;i'm a newby too.&nbsp;&nbsp;yet the scripts i am working on are for my job.&nbsp;&nbsp;besides, if were already knew all of that stuff we wouldn't need you now. would we?:) <p>bobbie<br><a href=mailto:thibault@hotbot.com>thibault@hotbot.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>
 
*smile* understandable.. the Webmonkey tutorials will just give you a start, they won't tell you everything- but what they will give you that's necessary is the ability to understand people's responses. If you don't know the first thing about a language, you're not asking for help- you're asking for a fix. You can only accept help if you know what the help is. So reading those tutorials is a great place to start (that's where I started) so you can better understand responses that people will give you.<br><br>And I've always been a purist, call me a poopie if you want :eek:) just that so many people steal scripts without knowing what they do, then get upset when they don't work. Know what I mean? :eek:) <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=] :: imotic :: website :: [</a><br>"light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>
