Re: why this doesn't work as an external file but does internally?

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: 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?

Yes, the output of your JavaScript in the second example is missing $img_home_on (it's outputting nothing). Where does this variable get set? How about posting the php code for https://celestica.tristarpromotions.com/NEW/jsstuff.php -- By-Tor.com It's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com
