Anyone know how they do this???

I need a good explanation on how to set this mouseover technique up for my site. Here's the link (it's on the lower half of the page)...

I'll give $40NP to the one who helps me the most and another $20NP to a runner-up! I also need help with a form problem I've having if anyone will offer their help.

Thanks!

It is JavaScript, that much I can tell you. I found the tags at the top. I assume you are talking about the mouseovers on the pictures not on the links correct?

Yup, the pics. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

This is what I believe is calling it. I cannot read JS very well however.

The most popular way to achieve this is using a Javascript package called Overlib. You can download it here:

There's detailed documentation as well on the site.

Vincenzo is $40NP richer! Thanks for the good tip. I love the script and the instructions were easy to follow.

I would've probably given you the $20NP for runner-up Creedfeed, but the link is not working for me. It's not a dead-link, it just keeps loading and loading...

Thanks everyone! I've found what I need! :tu:
