One of the sites just seems to respond or load the images more quickly. You are quite correct in that the Javascript is completely client-side while the PHP is completely server-side. The fact that the Javascript may have been generated by PHP (or ASP or CF or whatever) is absolutely irrelevant by the time the mouseovers get a chance to happen. Unless, of course, the mouseovers load images generated or provided by a script on the server side, which doesn't appear to be the case on your servers--and anyway, it's a contrived exception. :) -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> Netmill iTech| |http://www.coastnet.com/~torben http://www.netmill.fi| |Ph: 1 250 383-9735 torben@netmill.fi| +----------------------------------------------------------------+
