Control a DIV variable with javascript onmouseover?

[neokio]

Hey all! I'm new to this board, it looks the the best one out there so I'll be hangin around..

So... you can control CSS with onmouseover via

onmouseover="this.style.borderWidth='2px';

or whatever... but is there code to change the position of an existing <div>?

Specifically, I'd like to replace 40 lines of javascript rollover code with a really simple onmouseover call to "change the 'left' value of div ARROW (with an image inside it) to value 100 (from -1000)". Just move the arrow around onscreen. Make sense? This way I can have one image and one div for as many links as I want, with minimal code.

Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Why not onmouseover="this.style.left: 100px;"?

By the way, how come you didn't post this in the javascript forum?

I guess I wasn't totally clear. I'd like to end up with a series of links, each controlling the position of a single DIV via javascript. Like a moving underline, positioned by the link's onmouseover.

And you're right! I'll try posting it there instead.. ;)
