Long time listener, first-time caller, etc. ^_^; I have been struggling with this problem involving Javascript and a form of image swapping for 2 days now... I would humbly ask for any help anyone would be willing to give me. I just hope I don't seem rude or silly for asking. Here goes... Any javascript wizards out want to help me out? I'm trying something for nbps.k12.nj.us/staging/nbps3d.htm wherein when one mouseovers the A.

I keep messing up the javascript and it's really, really upsetting me. How can I get this to work? ANY ideas? And I've tried tutorials. They keep confusing me. >_< Thanks in advance.

Hello all. Long time listener, first-time caller, etc. ^_^;

Ironically I just wrote this last night for a friend

To use this. put all the script within <script> tags in the head
<script language="Javascript">

stufff here

</script>

Then in your body tag you put

<body onLoad="preload()"

Okay here is the deal in the preloader change the array to all of the images you want to swap.

Now you should be set.
The swap function switches the nav item. switchMain switches the main image.

Links should look something like this
<a href="whatever.com" onMouseover="swap('anImage',0);switchMain('3')" onMouseout="swap('anImage',1)">

Where the numbers correspond with the image number in the array

This is rough instructions.

Why don't you try installing this and let me know where you have problems.

var loaded;
function preload() {
if (document.images) {
// Put your images here. Just cut and paste.
// Make sure the numbers are all in order.
// I'd put the main images in first and then all the over and off states for the nav second.
daImgArray = new Array()
daImgArray[0] = "images/lap_01.jpg";
daImgArray[1] = "images/liz_2.jpg";
daImgArray[2] = "images/liz_3.jpg";
daImgArray[3] = "images/liz_4.jpg";
daImgArray[4] = "images/liz_5.jpg";
daImgArray[5] = "images/liz_6.jpg";
daImgArray[6] = "images/gwen_1.jpg";
daImgArray[7] = 'images/members_on.gif';
daImgArray[8] = 'images/members_off.gif';
daImgArray[9] = 'images/join_on.gif';
daImgArray[10] = 'images/join_off.gif';
daImgArray[11] = 'images/contact_on.gif';
daImgArray[12] = 'images/contact_off.gif';
daImgArray[13] = 'images/booking_on.gif';
daImgArray[14] = 'images/booking_off.gif';
daImgArray[15] = 'images/cd_on.gif';
daImgArray[16] = 'images/cd_off.gif';
daImgArray[17] = 'images/links_on.gif';
daImgArray[18] = 'images/links_off.gif';

daImgs = new Array();

for (i=0; i < daImgArray.length; i++) {
daImgs[i] = new Image;
daImgs[i].src = daImgArray[i];
}
loaded = true;
}
}

function switchMain(daImgNum) {

if (document.images && loaded) {
document.mainImg.src= daImgs[daImgNum].src;
}

}

//Pop Up windows
function openWin( windowURL, windowName, windowFeatures ) {

return window.open( windowURL, windowName, windowFeatures ) ;

}

function swap(name,num){
if((document.images) && (loaded)){
document[name].src = daImgs[num].src;
}
}

Thank you very much for your help....

I tried setting it up, as you said... but it wasn't wirking. I kept getting undefined, even after plugging in the vales and images yu recommended.

So... I tried another script idea... that didn't work, either... but it *looks* structurally sound.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Okay here's the deal you have the img named "pic1" which should be named "img01"

This line here:
<a href="#" onmouseout="imgOff('img01')" onmouseover="imgOn('img01'); return true;">
<img border="0" src="vorred.gif" width="126" height="31" name="img01"></a>

Then it will still break because you don't have an image named "photo" AND "collage3_r1_c1":

<img name="collage3_r1_c1" src="collage3_r1_c1.jpg" width="117" height="84" border="0" name="photo">

you need to take out the first name

Here's a working copy

Oh the other image can't be found so it shows a broken image on the mouseover.

Thank you both so much! ^_^ See, this is what I get for doing my scripting when I'm coming off a caffiene crash. >_<

bitdamaged, the working copy worked like a charm! ^_^ Really, thank you so much-- actually going in and scripting a working copy was something above and beyond the call of normal "help the noob out" posting.

and Dark, hats off to you... I'm going to be taking a good look at the script and do my best to learn from it. You all have been very helpful, thanks! ^_^
