i am VERY new to HTML, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
i have created a button that has three actions: onMouseOver, onMouseOut, & onMouseDown, and links to the correct page. it works great. it works so well that i would like to add another button. for this i would assume i just repeat the process. i guess not. as soon as i add the second button, the over, out and down functions stop working. both buttons still link to the correct page, but they don't have any action anymore. what am i missing? the code for the pages is listed bellow: _____________________________________ <html> <head> <title>The Ramblin' Souls</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#000000"> <center> <img src="http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/4142/ramblinheader2hb1.gif"> <img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/reverse-tracks-grey.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="350"> <br/><br/> <a href="http://www.ramblinsouls.com/main.html" onMouseOver="document.pic1.src='http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/ramble-button-hover.gif'" align="absmiddle" onMouseOut="document.pic1.src='http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/ramble-button.gif'" align="absmiddle" onmousedown="document.pic1.src='http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/ramble-button-click.gif'"align="absmiddle" > <img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/ramble-button.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="200" height="100"name="pic1"></a> <font face="verdana" size="4" color="#FFFFFF"> <big> Or </big> </font> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theramblinsouls" onMouseOver="document.pic1.src='http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/myspace-button-hover.gif'" align="absmiddle" onMouseOut="document.pic1.src='http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/myspace-botton.gif'" align="absmiddle" onmousedown="document.pic1.src='http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/myspace-button-click.gif'" align="absmiddle"> <img src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/myspace-button.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0" width="200" height="100"name="pic1"></a> </center> </body> </html> |

You've named both your images "pic1" and both sets of event handlers try to manipulate "pic1". You need to use a different name for each image, and the event handlers need to be updated accordingly.

You can't have more than one element with the same NAME or ID. In your code all images have the name "pic1". Change each image NAME to anothe and it will work. Or, use this.src, eg:
CODE onMouseOver="this.src='http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/sagerides/website/ramble-button-hover.gif'" align="absmiddle" BTW, you don't need Javascript to swap images. You can do that with CSS, see the samples at, for exemple, http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/ This post has been edited by Frederiek: Oct 4 2006, 09:41 AM |

ok, so i used both recomendations. seperately and together. i changed all "pic.'s" to be numbered 1-6. that does not solve my problem. i changed them to "this.src" . this did not solve the problem. then i made one button with "this.src" and the other button "pic.1" "pic.2" "pic.3". this did not solve the problem. even when the old script contained the same picture name for all images, one button works properly. as soon as i add a second button, the actions stop working. if i take a button away, it works again.
any other suggestions? |

That's the idea.
Each image needs another NAME (or ID) and each call (onmouse...) matches the NAME of the corresponding image. Glad you figured it out eventually. |
