rollover/html errors

can anybody help...? (long explanation :)

[ladytoad]

For the life of me, I cannot get my rollovers to work. I get an error message in the status bar, or nothing happens. I think its a problem with my html coding, but I can't figure it out. I've finally tried copying code directly out of a book, but that didn't work either.

Example:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var News1 = new Image();
var News2 = new Image();
News1.src = "News1.gif"
News2.src = "News2.gif"
var Port1 = new Image();
var Port2 = new Imag();
Port1.src = "Port1.gif"
Port2.src = "Port2.gif"
//-->
</script>

Application of script...:

<td align=center valign=bottom bgcolor="#000000">
<a href="News.html">
<img src="News1.gif" alt="News and updates" width="46" height="21" id="news" border="0"
onmouseover="news.src = News2.src"
onmouseout="news.src = News1.src" />
</a>
</td>

This is the error from a validator, could this be the cause and if so, how can I fix:

onmouseout="news.src = News1.src" />
Warning: net-enabling start-tag; possibly missing required quotes around an attribute value

On Mozilla, first image works. On IE, nothing works. I don't get it. Please help?

This can't be helping...

var Port2 = new [red]Imag()[/red];

How true ;[smilestopper])

Fixed that, but still isn't working (I also checked through the rest of the document for any additional spelling errors.)

Try putting the onmouseover and onmouseout attributes in the anchor tag, instead of the image tag.

<a href="News.html" onmouseover="news.src = News2.src"
onmouseout="news.src = News1.src">
<img src="News1.gif" alt="News and updates" width="46" height="21" id="news" border="0" />
</a>

Works with first image only, on mozilla, on IE, nothing.

Same as before.

Paste the html code for your second one.

If you work with it, you will get a sense of how the javascript works instead of trying to type in the script by copying it.
