I try this, but it does not work, I have written the functions as this
Code: 
window.status='look at pictures'; for mouseover
window.status=' '; for mouseout

this is the imap line.

Code: 
<area shape=&quot;rect&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;pics()&quot; onMouseOut=&quot;picsoff()&quot; alt=&quot;See pictures of me, my friends, and places I have been&quot; coords=&quot;25,39,83,64&quot; href=&quot;html/pics.html&quot; title=&quot;See pictures of me, my friends, and places I have been&quot;>

it keeps saying object expected.

TIA

add return true; after your function call.


onMouseOver=&quot;pics();return true;&quot;

these are the functions....

Code: 
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
<!--
function home()
{
window.status='Click here to go the main index page.';
}
function homeoff()
{
window.status='  '
}
/-->
</script>

in your imap, you have the function names as 'pics()' and 'picsoff()', and your function names are 'home()' and 'homeoff()'.

I think that these should probably match.

yeh, i know abotu the functions not matching, it was an accident, coz i have multiple functions doing the same thing... anyway, it wont work, and i have tried the return true; besides, the return true is NOT necessary! Does anyone actually know how to fix this problem? its really getting quite annoying....


TIA

**what** exactly is not working ? do you have the function called but doing nothing, or do you have the onmouseover event catched but no function called, or not even the event catched ?? are you using ns or ie ? which version ?

if you are chaching the status bar on mouseover of a link that has an href, return true; is absolutely necessary. adam@aauser.com
