Ok.. here are 3 links: https://celestica.tristarpromotions.com/NEW/index2.php This link... you'll see that the rollover effects on the top menu work. The external JS file (called: jsstuffnew.php) has code that looks like: img1on = new Image(); img1on.src = "<?php echo $base_url; ?>Graphics/home_on.gif"; https://celestica.tristarpromotions.com/NEW/index.php This link... you'll see that the rollover effects on the top menu DO NOT work. The external JS file (called: jsstuff.php) has code that looks like: img1on = new Image(); img1on.src = "<?php echo $base_url; ?>Graphics/<?php echo $img_home_on; ?>"; As you can see, the difference between the two is the fact that the image FILE NAME is hard coded into the file as opposed to calling. https://celestica.tristarpromotions.com/NEW/index3.php This link... you'll see that the rollover effects work as well. Instead of having an external file I have embedded the JS code directly into the page. Additionally, I have use code that looks like: img1on = new Image(); img1on.src = "<?php echo $base_url; ?>Graphics/<?php echo $img_home_on; ?>"; Having visuals... does that help communicate what the problem is? In terms of what errors I am seeing, etc... I cannot tell you that because NO errors come up at all, even with the external pages. Thanks John. Hope I explained it a bit better this time around.
