simple netscape image swap in layer problem

[BenG]

hi,
i was wondering why my image swap wasn't working in netscape, mozilla etc. then i came across document.layers, it still doesn't work though.....

code:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

function flip(name, src) {
swapImage='images/clients/'+src
document.layers['invjav'].document.images[name].src = swapImage
//alert(document.layers['invjav'].document.images[name].src)
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
annoyingly when i do the alert it will load the image. Can anyone help with this please as its driving me nuts

What's triggering the event? I found that Netscape 4.7 doesn't like the onmousedown but is very happy to cooperate with onClick. Just an idea.

thanks for the post, should have posted that too really

<a href="#" onClick="flip('preload', 'invjav_pic.gif')">Investia Javelin</a> 

hope its not just a mac problem.

Just had a thought:

would using an animated gif cause this problem?

[BenG]

after much searching it seems that animated gifs are a problem, but also using <a href="#" is also a problem as NN4 sees href as a link to another page - solution

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="flip('preload', 'invjav_pic.gif', 'invjav'); return false">

thanks for the input anyway.
