I have found the answer. If you simply put :

parent.depth.document.changedepth.src=.... it works!

Thank you both very much for your help! Hope this example is useful to someone else!!

Cheers,

Paul

Sorry John,

I honestly wasn't being narky!

I'm genuinly pleased with the time and effort people are spending on my (and other) questions.

However...... It still doesn't work!?

Could JP Stones please change this on my example he posted just to make sure it's just not me.

Much appreciation

Paul

(any other ideas John)!?

Oops, I didn't mean to upset you, I just wasn't thinking clearly that day. Anyway, I think I figured out the problem. NS is very picky. Change the two words:

onmouseover

to:

onMouseover

I have a feeling that will fix it in NS and make it cross-browser.

Netscape DOES support onmouseover in an image map. I have used it before and it has worked on both MSIE & Netscape. The problem has only occured now that I need it to change an image in a separate frame from the one the mouse is rolling over. It doesn't appear to be finding the 'name=.....' attribute in the other frame.

For example I'm sure the code will work if I simply used
'onmouseover="changedepth.src=.........
where changedepth is the 'name=changedepth' in the image and both the images (one the mouse rolls over & one that changes) are in the same frame.

As you will see above to navigate to the other file I've used
'onmouseover="parent.depth.changedepth.src=.........

ie parent.depth where depth is the other frame name, is not working (I think?)

Thanks

Paul emailed me and I thought I would put up an example of his problem.
Works in IE/not in N.

I don't think Netscape supports the onMouseover command in an image map, only in a plain anchor tag.

You would likely have to split the image map and create a "fake" image map with regular links to get it cross-browser. I'm not absolutely sure on it, so you might wait and see if someone else knows another way.

To clarify my earlier question re:onmouseover In Separate Frames.

Basically I need to change an image in a different frame using the mouseover/out commands.

I used 'onmouseover="parent.depth.changedepth.src=.........
to change a file with the 'name="changedepth"' in a frame called 'depth'. (Both the frames are in the same <frameset> : although this frameset is heavily nested!?).

It works in MSIEv5.0 but not in NetscapeNavigatorv4.5

Please help!
