image links embedded in javascript, how bad are they? 1

[slickwillyslim]

currently on my website i have link buttons made of images. i thought about using some simple Jscript to make it so that onMouseover and onMouseout would toggle between two images. so, how do spiders view links that are embedded in Jscript? tnx fellas...

if the links are simply a standard href with onMouse events such as <a href="url" onMouseOver="swapimage(...) etc it will be crawled.
What doesn't get crawled are scripted methods using document.write to create the link or the jump menus where the link is in a document.location("url") etc

general rule, if you can view source and read <a href="url"... etc it will be fine.
