rollover buttons

[Bratz-Designs]

Hey all,

I have been trying to code some rollover buttons on my forum but something seems to go wrong, can you help me figure out what exactly?

In headeInclude:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

if (document.images)
{
image1on = new Image();
image1on.src = "http://www.bratz-designs.com/forums/images/afterdark/misc/home.gif";

}

function changeImages()
{
if (document.images)
{
for (var i=0; i<changeImages.arguments.length; i+=2)
{
document[changeImages.arguments[i]].src = eval(changeImages.arguments[i+1] + ".src");
}
}
}

Rollovers work like this..

<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];}
}

maybe you could modify that code to work on your header template

[Xplorer4x4]

http://chrispoole.com/scripts/javascript/dom-image-rollover/

This works great for me in the past. Up the js file(possibly to your clientscript directory). Then add <script type="text/javascript" src="dom_image_rollover_hover.js"></script> to the headinclude. It may also work by just using it in the header template itself. Been awhile since i used it but if you need help drop me a pm.

Wouldn't CSS be an easier and less resource-consuming alternative? Seems like a LOT of code just for rollover images.

[Xplorer4x4]

Try this instead. It is an old vB 2 hack but works great to this day.

Thanks alot worked like a charm :up:

EDIT: Only works on vbadvanced homepage ............ any ideas ?

EDIT AGAIN: Added code to the bottom of forumhome is now working there also.

thats a great hack and works well for anything with 'img src' infront of it ... but I use some paypal buttons that start with

<input type="image" src="image location" border="0" name="submit" alt="PLEASE HELP - Donate to our Ranked Server Fund!">

and adding the necessary line to that does not work - anyone know how I edit the stuff in the header include to include these 'form' buttons as images?

ta

anyone ???

[majorj0nny]

gee thanks...

[Dismounted]

As Aken has stated, why not use CSS to manage these things, the images can automatically preload as well.

Thank you X! :)
