Sounds familiar - are the images to be swapped placed in a table?  That's
usually what causes problems for mouseovers in NN3, using the
document.images[n] method.

If so, there's a fairly simple way to overcome it - you'd have to sniff for
NN3 and if add a constant to the array index.   Example of one I did can be
found at http://www.adenafoothealth.com/ (on the pages AFTER the splash
page).  You'll have to experiment with the actual number to add (unless
someone knows a magical formula to work it out?)

If you can't overcome the problem by my method, try this (assuming the new
index page is nn3index.html):

    if(navigator.appName=="Netscape" && navigator.appVersion.charAt(0)==3)


    self.location="nn3index.html"
    }
