got the transparent gif to work....but...

LoLth

now there's two things wrong.

1. images won't preload for me.

2. the rollover images inserted using DW3 won't actually roll...

any suggestions (and yes, I know, the background has to be reduced in size)

whats all this MM stuff?
Specifically, in the first javascript function "MM_swapImgRestore()" what is "document.MM_sr"?
I never seen this kinda stuff before.
Do you understand it yourself or did dreamweaver do all it?

LoLth

dreamweaver does it all.

that's why I prefer just using notepad or something because you understand what you're doing.

Unfortunately, I don't really understand how to write rollover images or other Javascript stuff (I know why and how they work, just not exactly). So, for these, Dreamweaver is quite handy. Unfortunately, this time, it's decided to **** up. - or I could have.

umm dunno bout dw but i usually do it like this
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!--

function MM_preloadImages() {

if (document.images) {
if (typeof document.WM == 'undefined'){
document.WM = new Object();
}
document.WM.loadedImages = new Array();
var argLength = MM_preloadImages.arguments.length;
for(arg=0;arg<argLength;arg++) {
document.WM.loadedImages[arg] = new Image();
document.WM.loadedImages[arg].src = MM_preloadImages.arguments[arg];
}
}
}

MM_preloadImages("images/whatever1.gif","images/whatever2.gif")
function WM_imageSwap(daImage, daSrc){
var objStr,obj;
// Check to make sure that images are supported in the DOM.
if(document.images){
// Check to see whether you are using a name, number, or object
if (typeof(daImage) == 'string') {
// This whole objStr nonesense is here solely to gain compatability
// with ie3 for the mac.
objStr = 'document.' + daImage;
obj = eval(objStr);
obj.src = daSrc;
} else if ((typeof(daImage) == 'object') && daImage && daImage.src) {
daImage.src = daSrc;
}
}
}
</SCRIPT>

then when u throw in your image do it like this:
<A
href="http://www.whatever.com&quot;
onmouseout="WM_imageSwap('Home','images/whatever1.gif');"
onmouseover="WM_imageSwap('Home','images/whatever2.gif');"><IMG
border=0 height=* name=Whatever
src="images/whatever1.gif" width=*></A>

The MM means MacroMedia...

I use Dreamweaver for this sort of stuff and haven't ahd any problems. Try a new page and make one rollover image. Compare the code for any discrepencies, anomolies, sub-space disturbances, etc,

Just looked at the source - doesn't the mouseOver() and mouseOut() stuff go on the images?

All the best,
