OK.. First off, here's the site I'm trying to make work: http://wolvesforchrist.com/wfcdesigns_html/wfcd4/ Next thing, I'm trying to get the roll-overs to work on the top main menu, but they aren't doing as FrontPage shows it's supposed to be doing..

Does anyone here know of a good roll-over script I can use that doesn't involve CSS or PHP? I'm not familiar with that sort of coding unfortunately and would like it in a familiar coding for later editing. That way, I kinda' understand what I'm doing..

Right now, the bottom menu roll-overs work fine, but I can't seem to find what's wrong with the top menu (the bottom does not have the pre-loader yet).

The other thing I would like to know, is if there is anyone here that knows a good, simple image pre-loader script or HTML code? Again, no CSS or PHP due to my lack of knowlege. I don't know whether or not it is a HTML thing or a JAVASCRIPT thing. I just know I've seen it before and want it badly! lol..

Now, to answer the question/concern that most people keep bringing up, yes, I know it takes a little while to load the site. On a normal site, I would cut down the graphics by a large amount, however, the way I see it, if you are coming to a graphics website, you will probably expect, well, graphics. That means you are probably going to be expecting the site to load a little slower than a normal website. I have thought it over carefully and have decided to take that risk of the page loading time.

Thanks in advance for any help given!

This is JavaScript, but fairly easy to add.

Step 1: Add this within the <head> </head>

Code:

 <script type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
  var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}

function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
  var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
   if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}
//-->
</script>

Step 2: Add this in the <body> tag

Example:

Code:

<body onload="MM_preloadImages('images/yourimage2.gif','images/yoursecondimage2.gif'">

Important Note: For second images, typically the rollover effect image, add it to the body tag above. Use the above example as a guide. All second images need to be included in the onload.

Step 3: Add this to each image link in the body of your doc. Edit link and image names. Also the width and height.

Code:

<a href="yourlink.html" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Your Link','','images/image2.gif',1)"><img src="images/image1.gif" alt="Your Link" name="Your Link" width="130" height="20" border="0" id="Your Link" /></a>
