hello,
 try this...

<!--
function swapImage(name)
		 {
	
if(navigator.appName=="Netscape")eval("document."+name+".src='images/nav
/"+name+"_2.jpg'");
//eval("document."+name+".src='images/nav/"+name+"_1.jpg'");
		 else
eval("document."+name+".src='images/nav/"+name+"_2.jpg'");
		 }

function restore(name)
		 {
	
if(navigator.appName=="Netscape")eval("document."+name+".src='images/nav
/"+name+"_1.jpg'");
//eval("document."+name+".src='images/nav/"+name+"_1.jpg'");
		 else
eval("document."+name+".src='images/nav/"+name+"_1.jpg'");
		 }

//-->
</script>

and on the href tag put...

onMouseOver="swapImage('tubs')" onMouseOut="restore('tubs')"

the script uses the image name for the image file names.

so if you have an imaage named tubs on the in the HTML then the file
names for the first image would be tubs_1.gif and the rollover image
will be tubs_2.gif

if you look at the code its fairly simple to alter and its a very short
peice of code compaired to a lot of other rollover scripts.

the script doesnt have a preload on it, but ive found the most realiable
preload is dreamweavers preload function. some browsers seem to have
problems with preloads. 

i hope that helps.
take care,
 Rob.

if you need anymore help in customising the code let me know.
