Mouse Banner by Peter Gerhig Dec. 29 1999 in A-Z scripts

<--in the code that goes in the head-->

var thisspan = eval("document.span" + i);

warning 5002 var "thisspan" already defined...

Probably if you checked through the rest of your code, you would see "var thisspan" more than once. The "var" is what initially makes this a variable. Once it's made, it remains a variable until the function or page is closed. So if you put "var thisspan" more than once, it confuses the browser.

After the first ever var thisspan =
the rest should be simply thisspan =

So your line should be
thisspan = eval("document.span" + i);

Hope that helps,
Ian
