Swap Image won't work on Netscape?

Is the Swap Image behaviors won't work on netscape?

I tried several page with the swap image from my netscape 4.7 and 6.2 both version won't display the image(the page works ok from IE 4-5).

Is that normal? any fixes for it?

Both version of my netscape is running under Linux...

Can you supply a link so we can take a look?

When you were creating the link it may of used the absolute path:
<img src=file:///c... Dreamweaver has problems with this type of link. You want it to be:

<img src="path/to/file.jpg" ...

Again, I will be able to help more if I have code to look at.

I don't think it's the img src problem...
Here's the test page I put up.

Oh, you are using the event handlers in the <object> tag. Netscape does not reconize event handlers for the <object> tag. The only way around it is not to use Flash buttons and use image buttons instead.

Don't use Flash buttons. It's not a good choice for navigation. Anything that requires ANY plugin (no matter how prevalent it's supposed to be) is not a good choice for navigation.

Anybody who doesn't have the correct plugin won't be able to do anything, and then you've lost them forever. Not good.

so what's the work around for it? I don't like plugin too but if that's the only choice...
