mouseover on all browsers

N

Nick

I can't make out why this won't work in iexplorer (even when I change
'Netscape'). The mouse over works fine in >Netscape 4 and Opera 5 and
7. Is it a simple fix or is that wishful thinking?

What doesn't work? Does nothing happen or does the wrong thing happen?

The type attribute is required in HTML 4.0+

HTML comments are not needed in Javascript.
function bboatssw_exchange_src(name, rpath, nsdoc)
{
str = (navigator.appName == 'Netscape') ? nsdoc+'.'+name :
'document.all.'+name;
img = eval(str);

Declare your variables as local to avoid polluting the global
namespace.

You never need eval to access object properties or variables.

These two lines can be changed to just:
var img = document.images[name];

It works in pretty much any browser later than Netscape 2.

Thanks for replying. "Doesn't work" in this context means that
images do not even appear - just the cyber box where they should
(either mouse over or not)- in IE, where as everything is normal in
the other browsers (ie the images, differing shades, alternate on
mouseover off movement)work as expected.


Thanks again for your input

Additionally replaced the two lines with the one you suggested. The
good news is it still works as before. The bad news but still not in
IE (v5.5). No images anywhere (even the ones that don't involve a
mousever. Maybe that's a clue. Does it require a different type of
dir path to the images?).
