Disjointed rollover--works local, problem on web

I'm using a nice javascript disjointed rollover from daxassist in which a "holder" displays a large photo until a mouseover a thumb changes it and mouseout changes it back. It worked great until I uploaded it; now the holder doesn't display until the mouseover, and it disappears on mouseout.

Can someone tell me what I have done wrong? I know zilch about java but I like this script.

I'm thinking of building a CSS version but I'm new at that, too, and I don't have time right now if I can fix this script version quickly.

Thanks! Here's the problem page:

Your 'holder' image (used in onmouseout event and when page loads) does not seem to exist:
photos/eadeh_1000_005_crop_46.jpg

Also, I would test your site in Firefox (it's ok in IE6) as the holder image is displayed in the wrong place (over the top of the thumbnails!) - a problem with the CSS I guess.

... and welcome to WebmasterWorld.

Thanks for your response. I knew the photo had to exist, because it worked on my local machine. When I went to make sure it was on the server, I noticed it was misspelled. I had corrected it on my machine and apparently didn't upload the corrected one so, in effect, it sort of didn't exist.

So, CSS and HTML and script all okay. Just a bit of operator error.

Also, the Firefox problem was just the browser freaking out because the photo wasn't in it's holder. Everything works great now. Thanks.

Sorry about the link. Since it's not my site, it didn't occur to me that it might have been considered promotional.

Glad you got it sorted - looks good!

Regarding the links... I don't think that it is necessarily because it might be considered promotional. Any links to 'test pages' of any kind are strongly discouraged. I think for the simple reason that 'test pages' tend not to stay around for very long, so for someone reading the thread in a few months time they aren't going to know what is going on... best to post the code if you can.
