Hello,

Is it possible to have live text on a page and when you roll over it, a graphic changes?

Regards,

According to the 4.01 Spec ONMOUSEOVER is valid for "[a]ll elements but APPLET, BASE, BASEFONT, BDO, BR, FONT, FRAME, FRAMESET, HEAD, HTML, IFRAME, ISINDEX, META, PARAM, SCRIPT, STYLE [and] TITLE". (http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/attributes.html) I don't know about browser support, but as it certainly won't work for the 1 or so in 10 of us that do not use JavaScript give it a try with the SPAN element. But as with all JavaScript, make sure your page makes sense without it.

Hi,

You might be interested to see an example of image swapping using CSS (no javascript).

It won't work in all browsers, but it's worth a look.
