Hi...I have a javascript dilemma I can't seem to solve...
maybe someone here can advise me
first....if you click on this link http://www.geocities.com/geomancermetal/javascript2.html

take a look at it.....
hopefully, you can see that when you roll your mouse over the little globes, they turn green....okay, ive gotten that far...
but i wanted to dispaly a text description of each globe link above between the "geomancer" logo and the globes...in the black space in the center of the table....

well, ive tried very hard for about 6 hours now....and i can't do it....I tried combining 2 different javascript codes, but it didn't work.....

can anyone help me??
or maybe you might even say that doing this much just for a navagational frame is too much javascript and will be slow-loading??

thanks so much!!

Pat

Here's the script. Go to http://www32.brinkster.com/jjscripts/javascript3.html to try it out. I cleaned up your html too - sorry if you didnt want me to. You didnt need that many functions. To change the displayed text, change the first variable in the onMouseover. e.g. from onMouseOver="changeText(hi, ho)" to onMouseOver="changeText(ho, ho)" to make the displayed text be ho. To change the colour of the displayed text, change the line in the changeText function that reads:
document.getElementById("heading").style.color="#FFFFCC";
by adding your own colour instead of mine at the end. I tried to preserve our layout; I think it came off. I think i kept the same URLs, too. I changed the button IDs.
I also didn include status line updates. if you need any help, PM me.
