I've seen in a lot of Web Sites Sorces something in JavaScript, with function of MM image swaps, Image restors, etc.... and the cointain loads of wired code, (i=> 21) <> (i-1) .. well something like that.

So, just one question..... what the hell does all that mean???

Or, you can do what proper webdesigners do, and write it yourself. It's not as hard as everyone thinks, and it's CERTAINLY not as hard as Dreamweaver or any of those scripts make it out to be.

I got fed up with the reams of code that Dreamweaver et al generates to do something quite simple that I got hold of & modified some javascript.

If you visit my site ampster-web.co.uk you can borrow it out of the front page.... Happy coding

If you want to do image swapping and you don't have dreamweaver then just find some plain and simple script from the net, it's _much_ easier. Dreamweaver's deliberately compacted to make it hard to copy, as all the parameters etc are generated... HTH

It's the exported code generated by a Macromedia authoring program to use rollover images.

Swapimg changes the image of your button to another one when you mouse over (say, of a different color)

Imagerestore puts the first image back when you mouse out

Preload images makes the images for the rollovers load when the ages load, so that when you mouseover, the swapped image is allready in cache

Dunno about the findobject one, perhaps turbo knows.

If youre copying the code from one site to another, make sure you get the body tag, this is where you list the images to preload, and get the button display tag.

Make sure on your button tag that you change the names, each one has to be different even if the images are the same, and that the names of the buttons are not numerical.

Hope this is of some use.

Basically, that's the load of code that Macromedia Dreamweaver understands. Any function that has MM in it has been generated by Dreamweaver or Fireworks.

Although it's still perfectly legal JS, it's very compacted and virtually unreadable. If it was expanded, it would all make sense.
