http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/communicator/jsguide4/keywords.htm are most of the reserved words.

Identifiers (of which location is one), are words actually in use for functions. Such as, alert, arguments, Array, blur, Boolean, location, name, open, self, et cetera. Page 33 of the Definitive Guide has a full list.

Yep.

"location" is short for "window.location", in IE at least.

Mark Hensler — Fri, 16 Aug 2002 01:12:49 +0000

I'll bet it's just because the name is "location." Try naming it something else.

Alrighty, here the offending code:
Javascript part

preloadImg("location","images/location.jpg");
preloadImg("locationover","images/location_over.jpg");


 // preloading
function preloadImg(imgObjName, imgURL)  // load imgURL into browser's cache
  {
  if (document.images)
    {
    eval(imgObjName + " = new Image()");
    eval(imgObjName + ".src = imgURL");
    }
  }

// displaying the image

function displayImg(imgObjName, imgTagName) //disp imgObjName in imgTagName
  {
  if (document.images)
    document[imgTagName].src = eval(imgObjName + ".src");
  }

'HTML part

<a href="home.shtml" onmouseover = "displayImg('homeover', 'home')" onmouseout = "displayImg('home', 'home')">
<img src="images/home.jpg" name="home" width="136" height="38" alt="Home" border="0" /></a><br />

<a href="accommodations.shtml" onmouseover = "displayImg('accommover', 'accomm')" onmouseout = "displayImg('accomm', 'accomm')">
<img src="images/accomm.jpg" name="accomm" width="136" height="35" alt="Accommodations" border="0" /></a><br />

<a href="rates.shtml" onmouseover = "displayImg('ratesover', 'rates')" onmouseout = "displayImg('rates', 'rates')">
<img src="images/rates.jpg" name="rates" width="136" height="50" alt="Rates and Reservations" border="0" /></a><br />

<a href="guest.shtml" onmouseover = "displayImg('guestover', 'guest')" onmouseout = "displayImg('guest', 'guest')">
<img src="images/guest.jpg" name="guest" width="136" height="56" alt="Guest Comments" border="0" /></a><br />

<strong><a href="location.shtml" onmouseover = "displayImg('locationover', 'location')" onmouseout = "displayImg('location', 'location')">
<img src="images/location.jpg" name="location" width="136" height="36" alt="Location" border="0" /></a><br /></strong>

<a href="contact.shtml" onmouseover = "displayImg('contactover', 'contact')" onmouseout = "displayImg('contact', 'contact')">
<img src="images/contact.jpg" name="contact" width="136" height="39" alt="Contact Us" border="0" /></a><br />

'All of them work except for the "location" one (in bold).

Any ideas? It's probably a silly spelling mistake or something but I can't find it...

See, that's why I wanted to upload it - to ask about that javascript error! It's just a rollover script, but all of my rollovers are working except one, and I can't figure out why that one button won't work.

I'll post the code later when I get home.

Mark Hensler — Thu, 15 Aug 2002 06:03:23 +0000

JavaScript error was the first thing I thought of too...

Abhishek Reddy — Thu, 15 Aug 2002 04:48:21 +0000

You don't have a redirect script or anything on it, do you? Or an image preload?

The page loads, then goes to http://www.meganjack.com/BelfryCottage/[object]

If I remember right, [object] is returned in javascript for undefined variables... (?)

Have you tried the obvious things: re-upload, tried copying to another page that is already working, maybe?
