Hi Cate,

You have real problems with your code, but for now all you need to fix the
code would be to CORRECTLY name your images.

For image number 1 you have:

<A HREF="local.html"
onMouseOver = "imgOn('img1')"
onMouseOut = "imgOff('img1')">
<IMG SRC="local2.jpg"
WIDTH="83" HEIGHT="150" 
BORDER = "0" NAME = "the talent!"></A>



This won't work. The image NAME attribute has a special purpose here.
Simply naming it "The Talent!" won't work.
This shouldn't be used to replace the alt attribute.

You must name your images according to the javascript functions.

Example:

if your first image reads:

onMouseOver = "imgOn('img1')"
onMouseOut = "imgOff('img1')"

(which it does)

Give your first image the NAME="img1" so that the codes correctly reads:

<A HREF="local.html"
onMouseOver = "imgOn('img1')"
onMouseOut = "imgOff('img1')">
<IMG SRC="local2.jpg"
WIDTH="83" HEIGHT="150" 
BORDER = "0" NAME = "img1"></A>

This will allow the javascript to "know where to get the first image"
This is why you are getting errors that say:

"Images is not defined"

Be sure to name your images like I did above and you will be fine.
for example:

first rollover is NAME="img1"
second rollover is NAME="img2"
third rollover is NAME="img3"

and so on....


That should be all you need to make the script work.
Let me know if it fixed it.

Everyone who has ever tried rollovers, almost 100% of the time, makes that
error. I still forget to name my images :)

P.S. Look at the source of your page in netscape and you'll see the
blinking errors in blue. You might need to fix that.

regards,

b.j.
