document.images array in Firefox

[SimonTheSponge]

Hi

I have a script that I'm migrating from IE to FireFox. Some of my mouseover events do not seem to work. The existing code changed the .src of an image by referring to it as an element in the images array

document.images[n].src = 'newimage.gif'

This code does not appear to work in Firefox/Mozilla ie the image doesn't change. Does anybody know how I would port this toMozilla/W3C code

Cheers

I duplicate the name as an id, then

document.getElementById.src = 'newimage.gif';

You might try

document.getElementByName.src = 'newimage.gif';

but I don't remember if that's compatible in all browsers or not.

Thanks Trollacious,

I've found the problem:

It appears that in firefox, that there is a setting to allow Javascript to "change images

If you run your pages through validator.w3.org you'll probably find that the name attribute for images isn't valid. That's why I changed to using the id with the same image swapping function.
