that worked well for me

that worked well for me also. is there a reference as to how to make it make a sound at the same time as the mouseover? the noise of a camera click, for example, when you mouseover a camera? any thoughts always appreciated.

I tried in IE5 and had no problems what so ever - the pop up came up fine and the products page seemed fine as well.
Nice site.

I didn't have a problem with the page transition, and in Netscape things seemed to work just fine for me.

In IE, I got an Active X error (I think this is something on my computer though, it has been bugging me for months. It tells me I have my security settings set too high, and they are not!).

The audio enhancements might be bothersome to those without the plugin (Beatnik?). IE seemed to try to download the file, which caused the page to hang- then the Active X problem hit me and I couldn't do anything.

In Netscape I had no trouble, and I got a nice message about needing the plugin.

In any case, the transition didn't take long for me. If you have that trouble, it may be the audio file- I didn't have the plugin so I didn't have to try loading it.

Hopefully someone without the activeX problem I have can check it out in IE for you.

Hey John,(Beautiful)

My page is working just like I wanted it to. I would like you to look at it and confirm my suspicion about the page loads. If you would go to www.discoverynet.com/~tekguy/ and look at the first page. (We are doing a proposal for a pet food company, my first foray into doing a site for profit) The only pages that work are the home and product pages. When you click on products it takes forever to start to switch pages. I think it is because the graphics on the rollovers are being preloaded. If you get a chance would you check it out?

Thanks again

Jim,
Just call him beautiful - it always does the trick (private-ish joke, if anyone is wondering...)

Hey John,

Thanks, thanks and dare I say thanks. This is the second time you have helped me and I greatly appreciate it.

I got this script to do the trick:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>flashit</TITLE>

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--

if (document.images)
{
pic1on= new Image(100,25);
pic1on.src="image2.gif";

pic1off= new Image(100,25);
pic1off.src="image1.gif";
}

var getit=" ";

function flashit(imgName)
{
if (document.images)
{
getit=imgName;
imgOn=eval(imgName + "on.src");
document[imgName].src= imgOn;
setTimeout('flashout()',500);
}
}

function flashout()
{
iname=getit;
imgOff=eval(iname + "off.src");
document[iname].src= imgOff;
}

//-->
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<BODY>
<A HREF="http://someplace.com" onMouseover="flashit('pic1')">
<IMG SRC="image1.gif" name="pic1" width="100" height="25">
</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>

You'll need to change the script to go with your image urls and the link url.

You can change the amount of time the flash lasts by adjusting the number 500 in the setTimeout function higher or lower.

I have a working example up if you want to see it at:
