need help with popup menus from rollover buttons

I didn't notice a popup menu when I looked at your page with IE 6 and Win XP

Try the first button, i.e Departments, it should give you a pop up menu. Im using IE 6 too and it works fine.

Ok, what I would do is remove the code that changes the image in the onmouseout event and put it in the code that hides the popup menu. That way, when the popup menu disappears the image is changed back to the original one.

I tried that..doesnt seem to work..
have a look..

Here is the script in the HTML file that preloads my images
--------------------------------------------------------<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
image1 = new Image();
image1.src = "images/buttons/a10.gif";

image2 = new Image();
image2.src = "images/buttons/a20.gif";

image3 = new Image();
image3.src = "images/buttons/a30.gif";

image4 = new Image();
image4.src = "images/buttons/a40.gif";

image5 = new Image();
image5.src = "images/buttons/a50.gif";
// End -->
</script>
--------------------------------------------------------
After this i document.write two .js files...one has code for the menu and the other has the arrays containing menu items.

A little later is the section of the HTML code that has the mouseover and mouseout for the buttons....
--------------------------------------------------------
<a onmouseout="popDown('elMenu1'),image1.src='images/buttons/a1.gif'" onmouseover="popUp('elMenu1',event),image1.src='images/buttons/a10.gif'">
<img name="image1" src="images/buttons/a1.gif" border=0></a>                  
--------------------------------------------------------

and here is the .js file...

I tried placing the onmouseout section that replaces the image src, i.e. "image1.src='images/buttons/a1.gif'"
in places where the menu pops down, in particular in a funtion hideSelf() which is called when any menu pops down, but no result...
if it works i could remove all mouseouts and reset all images.

ok, by the looks of it you should put the image function in the showIt function. Do this by having a global variable:

var strImage = null;

In the "a href" you can do this:

<a onmouseout="popDown('elMenu1');strImage='image1.src=\'images/buttons/a1.gif\'';" onmouseover="popUp('elMenu1',event);image1.src='images/buttons/a10.gif'">
<img name="image1" src="images/buttons/a1.gif" border=0></a>  

In the showIt function add the call to the function to change the image:

function showIt(on) {
     if (NS4) {
          this.visibility = (on) ? "show" : "hide";
          if (keepHilite && this.currentItem) {
               this.currentItem.bgColor = this.menuBGColor;
               if (NSfontOver) {
                    with (this.currentItem.txtLyr.document) {
                         write(this.currentItem.htmStr);
                         close();
                    }
               }
          }
     }
     else {
          this.style.visibility = (on) ? "visible" : "hidden";
          if (keepHilite && this.currentItem) {
               with (this.currentItem.style) {
                    backgroundColor = this.menuBGColor;
                    color = this.menuFontColor;
               }
          }
     }
     if (!on)
     {
          revertImage();
     }
     this.currentItem = null;
}

and add the revertImage function:

function revertImage()
{
     if (strImage != null)
     {
          eval(strImage);
          strImage = null;
     }
}

It almost worked..
I pasted ur corrections directly into my files..
now the buttons stay pressed even after i move out of the menu..
I put a window.alert in the revertimage inside the if() and it alerts correctly, i.e. after the menu pops down, except the image doesnt revertback.
im trying out different things and checking code..if u spot anything plz post...
Ricky,I really appreciate you going out of ur way to help..thanx a lot.

Hello VM,

increase the points to 200 and you will get an working example.

And much more easy then the upper one.

So long,

thanx but i think i can manage to correct the current code.
I'll think about it if i can't.

It's ok :-)

Ok, give me a bit and I'll get this sucker working

Gr8, works like a dream..thats 75 well earned points for you..
im posting another query for some bonus points..hope you can help me out there too..since you've already had a look at my page and code.
Thanks a bunch.
VM
