Hi, I'm not trying to do your one of the mill rollover, I want to change ONE image to one of several DIFFERENT images depending on the image calling the rollover.



This distant rollover works:

     
function top*****ange()
{
    if (document.images) 
    {
        document.topbit.src=01bit.jpg);
    }
}

but how do I change it to use a variable ?

     
function top*****ange(name)
{
    if (document.images) 
    {
        document.topbit.src=name+ ".jpg");
    }
}

it's the punctuation around the name+ .jpg bit that's my problem....

any help would be much appreciated


I call then call it using

onmouseover ="top*****ange(longbit_gens)"

changing the bit in brackets depending on the pic I want displayed in IMG topbit.

You've got the basic idea, but your code is messed up: What's with the asterix's? I don't think those are legal characters for function names... or is that a curse word topB1TCHange - I get it. Also, you have an extra ")" in your code:

function 
switchImage(name) {
    if (document.images) {
        document.topbit.src = name + ".jpg";
    }
}

in your first example, you need the image location in quotes:
document.topbit.src="01bit.jpg";

as well as when you call it:
onmouseover ="switchImage('longbit_gens');"

if they don't have quotes around them it's a variable, not a string.

aha, thanks! Knew it had to be something pretty easy.

Sorry for the asterisks.... wasn't intended in any way, I just wanted to change "topBit" that's all!
