I like rollovers, i thkn they're fun and add a lot to a page. Since the first rollover i ever coded (ahh, memories) i have been using the same code; < a href="whatever" onmouseover="rollover.src='image1.jpg'" onmouseout="rollover.src='image.jpg'" > and all of that stuff. Now i've never had any problems with it, and as far as i can remember it works on netscape and IE, yet whenever i read on these or other forums, or take a peek at the source of some nicely done site they use some complicated JScript stuff with a portion in the head and all that. This way seems so much simpler, I must be missing something. What's the deal?
Thanks.

MM_swapImgRestore() and MM_swapImage() are defined in the header. That's what your seeing in the header.
You see that a lot because a lot of people use a Macromedia WYSIWYG editor to make their pages, and that's the way that Macromedia does rollevers. (MM=MacroMedia, get it?)

And also because most people pre-load their images in the header to make the transition process looks nicer. Your code is fine, don't worry about a thing.

I've always done it the same way as you, Fringey.

Me too, you're doing fine.
All the header part is doing is assigning the commands to a function name. Then in the body section, all you have to do is call on it by it's name. ( onLoad="name()" )
For simple mouseovers and small things like that, what you do is fine.
