Re: FN-FORUM: Javascript problem (another one!)

date posted 8th August 2003 20:37

Hi Luke, I was trying out the script you sent and I'm not sure if I'm using
it properly...


I've put the function in and I have the following mouseovers and outs:


Introduction
How does this on-line course work?
Registration Form
Study Plan
Link 4

Each time I hover I get:

document.all[...].style is null or not an object

I'm afraid I can't see where I'm making a mistake....

Also, I wanted to show the divs onClick - I was getting the same error and
being diverted to my folder and it was bugging me so I changed it for ease
of testing! But it also occured to me that I would need to swapout each div
something like this:

Link 4

Would this make sense? I couldn't tell if it would have worked because I
was getting the same error as above....

Can you shed any light on it?

Very much appreciated if you can!

Nita
