This is the source of a webpage I am developing.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<SCRIPT Language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function SwapOut01() {
imageflipper1.src=&quot;imageflipper10.src=&quot;return true
}
function SwapBack01() {
imageflipper1.src=&quot;imageflipper10.src=&quot;return true
}
function load_2(country_code) {
var action_line1=&quot;/cgi/get_details.pl?country_code=&quot;;
action_line1 +=country_code ;
parent.Frame_No_2.location.href =action_line1;
var action_line2=&quot;/cgi/country_intro.pl?country_code=&quot;;
action_line2 +=country_code ;
parent.Frame_No_3.location.href =action_line2;

}
</script>

<body>
<A onmouseover=&quot;SwapOut01()&quot; onmouseout=&quot;SwapBack01('')&quot;>
<IMG BORDER = &quot;0&quot; NAME = &quot;imageflipper1&quot; SRC=&quot;</A>
<A onClick=&quot;return load_2('us')&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;SwapOut01()&quot; onMouseOut=&quot;SwapBack01()&quot;>
<IMG STYLE=&quot;position:absolute; left=90; top:22;&quot; BORDER = &quot;0&quot; NAME = &quot;imageflipper10&quot; SRC=&quot;</A>

</body>
</html>

To test out, replace 'mysite' with another site where the following image pics exist in 'images' subdirectory:

continent1.gif
i-continent.gif
zerobytes.gif (a 1x1 pixel dummy picture)
us.gif

----------------------------------
This works perfectly in Internet explorer.. especially the onmouseover and onmouseout events... but it does not work in Netscape Navigator.

What am I doing wrong? B-(

Thanks for all help

Regards,

this might be a wild guess, but in your mouseover and out events, end the () with a semicolon;, NN can be very picky.

tried that with &quot;;&quot; but did not work either.. Thanks for suggesting.

Can anyone think of something else I might be doing wrong?

By the way the site has something similar to what I am trying .. move your mouse over the extreme left list of departments and see a submenu pop up on the right, move the mouse on one of the submenu options and see another submenu pop up - exactly what I am trying to accomplish.. although I am going only 1 sub-level deep

Regards,

While IE gives us complete control of items on an HTML page, Netscape is quite restrictive. On initial inspection of your code I notice you've hit one of those restrictions. The Anchor tag, <A> does not support onMouseOver(), onMouseOut(), and onClick() events. But they are supported if you provide a link (ie. an HREF).

On looking at your code, it looks like you do not want to provide a link, therefore a workaround is to provide a null URL (ie. HREF=&quot;&quot;), then cancel its default action by returning a false from your onClick event. Here's what I mean:

<A HREF=&quot;&quot;
onMouseOver=&quot;myMouseOver.gif&quot;
onMouseOut=&quot;myMouseOut.gif&quot;
onClick=&quot;myClickEvent(); return false&quot;>
</A>

Another way of coding the onClick is:
onclick=&quot;return myClickEvent()&quot;
But you MUST return a false from your myClickEvent().

Hope this helps.

Try <A HREF=&quot;#&quot; ...etc>, otherwise Netscape will try to refresh the page.
