javascript function call does not contain rendered asp code for firstrecord of recordset

[haft]

I've posted this question on an asp google group but we are left to
think it has to do with the javascript coding.

The following head section javascript code contains the function
showBigImage( isource,bigImage,header ) function call of discussion:

JAVASCRIPT HEAD SECTION CODE:

var currentImage;
function showBigImage( isource,bigImage,header ) {
var theImage = document.getElementById( 'largeimage' );
theImage.src = isource;
currentImage = bigImage;
document.getElementById( 'photoHeader' ).innerHTML=header;
document.getElementById( 'largeimage' ).alt=header;


JAVASCRIPT PAGE CODE:

<td height=36 valign="middle" class="small_img"
onmouseover="showBigImage( 'imagescript.asp?path=<%=
images.Fields.Item( "url_img" ).Value %>&width=250','<%=
images.Fields.Item( "url_img" ).Value %>','<
%=(images.Fields.Item("alt_img").Value)%>' )"><img
src="imagescript.asp?path=<%= images.Fields.Item( "url_img" ).Value
%>&width=36" border="0" > </td>


RENDERED REPEAT REGION RECORDSET CODE - THIS CODE ILLUSTRATES THE
ISSUE OF DISCUSSION:

The following rendered looped recordset code illustrates how the
"header" parameter of this showBigImage( isource,bigImage,header )
function call does not render ONLY FOR THE FIRST RECORD OF THE
RECORDSET as it is blank. This "header" value is pulled from the
alt_img database field:


<td height=36 valign="middle"
class="small_img" onmouseover="showBigImage( 'imagescript.asp?
path=images/portable_stage.jpg&width=250','images/
portable_stage.jpg','' )"> <img src="imagescript.asp?path=images/
portable_stage.jpg&width=36" border="0" alt="" > </td>

<td height=36 valign="middle"
class="small_img" onmouseover="showBigImage( 'imagescript.asp?
path=images/seated_riserset.jpg&width=250','images/
seated_riserset.jpg','Portable stage configuration using 9 units of
the 3 ft x 8 ft platforms in 3 different heights' )"> <img
src="imagescript.asp?path=images/seated_riserset.jpg&width=36"
border="0" alt="" > </td>


<td height=36 valign="middle"
class="small_img" onmouseover="showBigImage( 'imagescript.asp?
path=images/Stageset.jpg&width=250','images/Stageset.jpg','Portable
stage configuration using 16 units of the 4 ft x 8 ft platforms' )">
<img src="imagescript.asp?path=images/Stageset.jpg&width=36"
border="0" alt="" > </td>


<td height=36 valign="middle"
class="small_img" onmouseover="showBigImage( 'imagescript.asp?
path=images/Runset.jpg&width=250','images/Runset.jpg','Portable stage
runset configuration' )"> <img src="imagescript.asp?path=images/
Runset.jpg&width=36" border="0" alt="" > </td>


Because of this problem, the caption text does not display for this
first image record once the thumbnail images are moused over. You can
view this page example at

This issue is not due to a null field as the same occurs when
reversing the order of the recordset records from DESC to ASC
