Script Introduction
This script will create linked images which will change when the mouse passes over them. The script
is set up for two image flips, but more can be added by editing the code.
Cut and Paste Code: HEAD Section
This code should be placed between the <head> and </head> tags.
Cut and Paste Code: BODY Section
This code should be placed between the <body> and </body> tags.
Installation Instructions
-
Paste the HEAD Section code from above between the <head> and </head> tags on your page.
-
Paste the BODY Section code from above between the <body> and </body> tags on your page,
exactly where you want the images to appear.
-
Find the matching lines below in the script and change the text in red to
the width and height of the images (all images need to have the same
width and height):
// Set width and height of all images
var img_width=100;
var img_height=25;
-
Find the matching lines below in the script and change the text in red to
the URL of each image that will appear when the mouse moves over the image:
// Set up "on" images (show up onmouseover)
pic1on= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic1on.src="image1on.gif";
pic2on= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic2on.src="image2on.gif";
-
Find the matching lines below in the script and change the text in red to
the URL of each image that will appear when the mouse moves off the image:
// Set "off" images (onmouseout)
pic1off= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic1off.src="image1.gif";
pic2off= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic2off.src="image2.gif";
-
Find the matching lines below in the script and change the text in red to reflect the link URL,
the default image's URL, width, height, and the alt text for the image:
<p>
<a href="page1.html" onMouseover="changeImage('pic1',pic1on)" onMouseout="changeImage('pic1',pic1off)"><img src="image1.gif" name="pic1" id="pic1" width="100" height="25" border="0" alt="image"></img></a>
</p>
<p>
<a href="page2.html" onMouseover="changeImage('pic2',pic2on)" onMouseout="changeImage('pic2',pic2off)"><img src="image2.gif" name="pic2" id="pic2" width="100" height="25" border="0" alt="image"></img></a>
</p>
-
Check the Format Window
to be sure you do not have one single line of code, or too many line breaks in the code.
-
If you want to add more images, you can do so by adding code in the proper places. For instance, if you want
to add a third image, add the lines in green below to the HEAD section (change the red text for image URLs):
// Set up "on" images (show up onmouseover)
pic1on= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic1on.src="image1on.gif";
pic2on= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic2on.src="image2on.gif";
pic3on= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic3on.src="image3on.gif";
// Set "off" images (onmouseout)
pic1off= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic1off.src="image1.gif";
pic2off= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic2off.src="image2.gif";
pic3off= new Image(img_width,img_height);
pic3off.src="image3.gif";
In the BODY section, you will need to add the third image (note how the image is named and how the
function is called onMouseover and onMouseout):
<p>
<a href="page3.html" onMouseover="changeImage('pic3',pic3on)" onMouseout="changeImage('pic3',pic3off)"><img src="image3.gif" name="pic3" id="pic3" width="100" height="25" border="0" alt="image"></img></a>
</p>
Example
A working sample of the script is shown below.
Move the mouse over the images to test the script.
