Javascript help needed!

Hi!

The new navbar for White Rose works great in Safari and Firefox, but I found out the hard way that it does NOT work in IE.

Here is the new page; http://www.whiterosesociety.org/indexnew.html

What am I doing wrong?

1. IE6 gets wierd with void(0) links

It's a relatively simple thing to fix though, since you don't need it anyway. Your code currently looks like this:

<a href="javascrip t:void(0)" onmouseove r="window.status=''; document.images<'i14'>.src='images/wrs_jaymarvin_down.jpg'; return true;" onmouseou t="document.images<'i14'>.src='images/wrs_jaymarvin_up.jpg'"; onClic k="window.location='Marvin.html'">

Just change it to:

<a href="javascrip t:window.location='Marvin.html'" onmouseove r="window.status=''; document.images<'i14'>.src='images/wrs_jaymarvin_down.jpg'; return true;" onmouseou t="document.images<'i14'>.src='images/wrs_jaymarvin_up.jpg'";>

(Pardon the occasional spaces, but DU blocks JS code so I had to work around it).

Of course, I have to ask why you're using Javascript for the window location change at all. If you're using the <a> tag anyway, why not simply link to Marvin.html or wherever your other pages link? By making your navigation JS dependent, you're preventing a number of browsers and practically all screen readers and assistive browsing devices from using your site.

2. Well, the goal is to get the neat mouseover graphics switch.

And I plan on having a NOSCRIPT and traditional links to cover that.

3. In fact, just tested that.

It all works...

I test stuff in Lynx to make sure.

Thanks!

4. Have you ever tried a version of lynx called links? I like it a

a lot better than lynx.
