<p><A onMouseOver="mainform.all.myscroller.innerHTML=js function returning a string" href="<p><A onMouseOver="mainform.all.myscroller.innerHTML=js function returning another string” href="
i tried to make function to create the string and return the string when called but it did not work.

then i made the function create the string anyway at loadup and then just tried to insert the variable/obj...
onMouseOver="mainform.all.myscroller.innerHTML=variable"
but that did not work either even after i embedded variable in javascript tag/comment.

what am i doing wrong?

thanks,

code is uncomplete but heres a piece that works...
my idea is to get the function create different msgs and use the mouse action to request msg 4 printing in marquee.

what a mess.

don't use the "all" collection. instead, use getElementById.

Code: 
document.getElementById("myscroller").innerHTML = "whatever i want to appear in the marquee";

Couldn’t create the string dynamically so I had to type string in for each mouseover like this

<p><A onMouseOver="mainform.all.myscroller.innerHTML='<h3>Admin Tools</h3> Client 1<br> Client 2<br> Client 3<br> etc...'"

thanks
