How to create image rollovers
On a webpage, image rollovers are quick and easy to do. They can really enhance a webpage and give it a better feel making the page more dynamic instead of the first web pages circa 1994. Here's the code for a simple two button rollover; this is also the same code we are using for the Order button for Knowledge Base:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
Rollimage = new Array()
Rollimage[0]= new Image()
Rollimage[0].src = "order_button1.gif"
Rollimage[1] = new Image()
Rollimage[1].src = "order_button2.gif"
function SwapOut(){
document.OrderNow.src = Rollimage[1].src;
return true;
}
function SwapBack(){
document.OrderNow.src = Rollimage[0].src;
return true;
}
</SCRIPT>
Now we just need to tie the function to the Order button. Here it is:
<A HREF="http://www.doylesoftutah.com/package.htm"
onmouseover="SwapOut()"
onmouseout="SwapBack()">
<IMG SRC="order_button1.gif"
NAME="OrderNow"
BORDER=0>
</A>
There you have it. Easy image rollovers in two minutes.
