Do images have onMouseOut handlers in Netscape 7?

[boxman]

I know that up through Netscape 4.x at least, images did not have onMouseOver and onMouseOut event handlers. IE did.

Did Netscape decide to keep up with the Gateses and add more image event handlers to a later version?

Hello

Yes Netscape 7 and 7.1 have onmouseover and onmouseout, but if you write both detectors in the image tag, some times it does not work very well.

If you want a good and stable results, better use a link tag or another trick

Hope it helps

Actually I have onMouseDown and onMouseOut events in the same image, and I haven't been able to test it on Netscape yet.

The problem with putting the image inside artificial anchor tags, as I understand it, woiuld be that users would see their cursor turn to a little hand and think clicking the image was supposed to do something, when it doesn't.

Well this is true, the users can think it, but you can try some tricks like have an invisible image surrondir the visible one and in this other image write another onmouseover...

Is not the better solution, but could work

Another idea is if you use a link tag, you can use the title atribute to explain the users that the image is not a link...

I'm sure that should be a better idea to fix it, but what i've tested is that write the two things in the image is not a good idea...

Well, just for Netscape 7 and some explorer versions, but works perfect in Opera and Firefox

Hope you find a good solution and share it with us
