got it worked out I think.

Could it get any simpler?
Found this little trick on a site and it works just fine.
<a href="#" onMouseOver="document.image1.src='image2.jpg'">

with an onmouseout, image1 is restored to it's place.
Since there is no javascript involved per se, it should work in most
browsers yes?

No, not at all. You simply put the javascript in the value of the
onMouseOver attribute. onmouseover is an event handler, and event
handler require a script engine (in this case the client-side javascript
engine).

What do you think the "onMouseOver" is? That's a JavaScript event. The
code between the "" for the event is JavaScript. When JavaScript is
missing the code won't even get touched as the onMouseOver event won't
fire.

That's what I always thought but never knew for sure.
At least the trick works.

That is JavaScript.

What's the trick, though?

ahhh!
but there's another problem. it's very slow over the internet because
the image is loaded
everytime you move your mouse over the icon/image. and if the image is
cached on your hard drive,
it's still slow because you have to reference the file over the
internet. so, it works, but
not a good idea.

Since there is no javascript involved per se, it should work in most

<script>
document.image1.src='image2.jpg'
</script>

Also the images you're trying to load, won't be retrieved before you
mouse-over the image. On a slow connection the reaction time of the
mouseover will be too high.
