Javascript and image rollovers
 

Hi all, im sure everyone and his cat knows how to do image rollovers, my problem is I want to dynaimcally change the name of the image I am changing, as I will be changing multiple images depending on where the users mouse is on the screen, just cant get my head around the code to make this work.. here is what i have done so far (it doesnt work).
<script=javascript>
arr_Number = ImageNumber.split("x");
document.all.xAxis.innerHTML = arr_Number[0];
document.all.yAxis.innerHTML = arr_Number[1];
ImgSourceName = "im" & arr_Number[0] & "x" & arr_Number[1]
ImgSourceName.src = "images/glassblockmouseover.jpg";
//document.write(arr_Number[0]);
//document.write(arr_Number[1]);
//alert('hello');
</script>

HTML for onew image is below.

<a href="glassinteractive.php?acc=1&down=1" onMouseOut="ImageChangerRestore()" onMouseOver="ImageChanger('1x1')"><img name="im1x1" src="images/glassblock.jpg" width="28" height="28" border="0"></a>



Hope this makes sense..

tehe I sorted it myself by swapping

ImgSourceName.src = "images/glassblockmouseover.jpg";

for

document.images[ImgSourceName].src = "images/glassblockmouseover.jpg";

Cheers :)

I was going to suggest this as an alternative

The examples

No preloading, and works even when javascript is disabled

What Matth said. :tu:
I was going to suggest going the CSS route myself.

Hey, im a bit old fashioned, so some css tricks would be good!

I basically, have a 15x15 wall that as your mouse goes over, the corresponding down and up bricks need to be highlited.

A bit like words table building with the blue blocks.

I know have everything working, apart from reversing the selection, so any input is really appreciated!

Many thanks
Andy
