    Default Mouseover for Images in DW8

    I use the mouseover feature of DW8 on an XP Pro platform to create mouseovers
    of thumbnails that change a larger image on the page to an enlargement of the
    thumbnail. Alas, it does not seem to be working, so I have clearly done
    somwthing wrong.

    Below the closing head tag, I have:

    <body
    onLoad="MM_preloadImages('Photos/F16ToGoSunset3426012Th.jpg','Photos/F16ToGoSuns
    et3426012.jpg','Photos/Cockpit2492025Th.jpg','Photos/Cockpit2492025.jpg','Photos
    /ApacheMoon2492058Th.jpg','Photos/ApacheMoon2492058.jpg','Photos/SunsetSMJetA203

    h.jpg','Photos/F16Sunset2492056.jpg')">

    An example of one of the image codes is:

    <img src="Photos/ApacheMoon2492058Th.jpg" alt="apache helicopter military
    missile full moon night aviation [etc.]" name="ApacheMoon" width="120"
    height="80" hspace="9" vspace="9" border="1" align="middle" id="ApacheMoon"
    onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('ApacheMoon','','Photos/ApacheMoon2492058Th.jpg','Imag
    eLg','','Photos/ApacheMoon2492058.jpg',1);MM_swapImage('ApacheMoon ','','Photos/A
    pacheMoon2492058Th.jpg','ImageLg','','Photos/ApacheMoon2492058.jpg',1)"
    onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()">

    My Image place holder is noted as:

    <img src="Photos/SunsetSMJetA203122013&copy;.jpg" name="ImageLg" width="324"
    height="324" id="ImageLg" style="background-color: #990000">

    Thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Note - the behavior has been applied directly to the <img> tag. Don't do
    that. To make sure that you don't, when you are applying behaviors to
    images, always select the "<A> onMouseOver" event after closing the behavior
    dialog.

    Murray, thanks. However, I appear to be missing a critical step...

    I start by selecting the image, then press the + and Swap Image under
    Behaviors. I go through the dialogue for the thumbnail and large images, then
    try to select <A> onMouseOver. I am not succeeding, so I am not selecting it
    in the proper manner. Sorry to be so dense on this one.

    Apply the behavior and click OK to close the dialog. Then, in the Behaviors
    panel, click on the arrow between the event name and the behavior name, and
    select "<A> onMouseOver" from the list.

    Hmmm, first, I have no Apply button, only OK. However, I have succeeded in
    getting tha a tag involved:

    <a href="javascript:;"
    onmouseover="MM_swapImage('ApacheMoon','','Photos/ApacheMoon2492058Th.jpg','Imag
    eLg','','Photos/ApacheMoon2492058.jpg',1)"
    onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"><img src="Photos/ApacheMoon2492058Th.jpg"
    alt="apache helicopter military missile full moon night aviation aeronautics
    stock &copy; Zann and Pinkerton/ZAP Photography. All Rights Reserved."
    name="ApacheMoon" width="120" height="80" hspace="9" vspace="9" border="1"
    align="middle" id="ApacheMoon"></a>

    However, it still does not work. MIs it something in the script tag?

    <script type="text/JavaScript">
    <!--
    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_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_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];}
    }
    //-->
    </script>

    Hopefully, we are getting closer.

    Didn't say you did. I just said you apply the behavior to the selected
    image.

    Your code looks right. Perhaps you have several images on the page with the
    same name?
    > name="ApacheMoon"
    If that's not it, then post a link to the page, please.

    There was a problem with your javascript - not sure what. Try this -

    1. In the head of the page, find the js function called MM_findObj, and
    delete it completely.
    2. Select any of your thumb images, and double click on the "Image Swap" in
    the behaviors panel.
    3. Don't change anything - just click OK. That will force DW to re-write
    the javascript.

    It should work now. See here -

    [url]http://murraytestsite.com/Aviation1.htm[/url]

    It's likely that this was the problem all along, but the good news is that
    now you have a properly orchestrated behavior/event couple on those images.

    One final question, Murray...

    Is there a way to default to the <a> designation for onMouseOver and
    onMouseOut without going through the hassle of having to press the down arrow
    in Behaviors and change from the regular onMouseOver to <A>onMouseOver?

    If not, I think I will suggest it to Adobe.

    Again, many thanks,

    No. The selection of events is a complex algorithm that would be affected
    by this change in a way that might not be optimal. Which is gobbledy gook
    for 'it probably won't happen'! 8)

    You can edit the file that controls which events are selected when you apply
    behaviors - but I don't recommend you do.
