Re: Javascript question

Hello......

Thank everyone for the advice offered so far. Maybe I didn't express my
question clearly enough, but the responses that have come in so far don't
really speak to the problem that I'm having.

Here's what I want to do. I'm trying to find out why the Scroll or ScrollTo
method of the Window object doesn't seem to work. To make the game work, we
don't want to use roll-overs, as we want the children to be able to click in
the cell. Then the click on the alert is what swaps the images on that table
cell back to the original tree. Someone suggested that these were buttons
that we were clicking. These are just images in a table cell that we're
swapping. We don't want to use a mouse-over.

Thanks again,
Dusty
