heya:

I'm a new member, not sure if my question belongs in the javascript section.

DR. Ozone, thanks for the fab photoshop tutorials!

Anyhow.. I designed a page with Iexplore, including some animations for mouseovers... then tested it in netscape and discovered I hate netscape.

These anims have mouseover but no mouseout, because I do not want them to get cut short on mouseout. Works fine in Iexplore, only works the first time in netscape, and after that it is stuck on the last frame of the anim.

It is really a bit of "dancing baloney", not essential but I like the effect. Doing a mouseover on the domain name makes a fireball explode in one corner of the page, and the domain name gif is across the top pf the page so you end up tiggering it when you head for the browser buttons.

I have done a workaround, adding a new last frame to the anim, with an image so netscape users don't get a blank spot on that corner of the page, but darn I wish it would work! Looks great in iexplore.

Is there some image swap or refresh feature I can use that would tell netscape to replay the anim on mouseover? Someone told me to try absolute instead of relative links, but I did not see that it made any difference.
The page is not up yet, but here is the code:

<!----fireball---->
<td rowspan="3" colspan="1" width="64" height="96">
<a href="#" onmouseover="if(document.images) document.fireball.src='http://www.domin8rex.com/serpent/bits/fireballe.gif';">
<img name="fireball" src="http://www.domin8rex.com/serpent/bits/fs.jpg" width="64" height="96" border="0" alt="fireball"></a></td>

Thanks!

Mystress: Welcome (straightjacket, pills, crayons, etc. will be along soon - keep the pills away from Wakkos). This seems pretty much the same problem as the one Perfect Thunder outlined here:

You might want to pop in and add a 'me too' and provide a link so we can see the problem in action.
