Trying to figure out if this is actually possible to do

[TinyAriel]

I have been playing around with a few ideas for a new index page for my web site - http://www.upper-hunter.com/index2.htm

What I am trying to do is to create a drop down menu from the header on this page. I have got to this point - http://www.upper-hunter.com/experiment.htm and now I am totally lost.

I need a preloading script that will actually work, and something to allow me to add hyperlinks to the drop down menu.

I am afraid I am not particularly clued up on javascript, but am learning all the time, in a plodding, unassisted way.

Hope someone knows some way of sorting out my problems, and I will owe you enormous debts of gratitude if you can help!

Scrap whatever you got and start from scratch. Your page is unusable if javascript and/or images are disabled.

That is part of the problem Vladdy...the image is there, once you mouseover it. I beg forgiveness, I am only learning how to do this, and I really am not sure IF I can do what I would like to be able to do.

I have spent hours trying to find something like what I want, to no avail, so am currently stuck with something that won't quite work.

I have all the images created and saved, and the mouseover works ok, once you find the picture. I am aware that there is a problem with that. And help would be great!

What I want to be able to do, though, is to create hyperlinks onto the images that appear when you mouseover the town names. IS this possible??

Thanks in advance if anyone can help!
