Error (object expected) DHTML mouseover error

[Mykk]

I am not the most technical person so I have used FrontPage 2003 to
design my webpages. I just learned how to do the DHTML effects and
they work great with pictures swaps. However when I do a mouseover
text effect I get errors unless I am using the PC I created the site
on.

My website in question is http://www.mykk.net/dwarf/dwarf-index.htm

As you can see the mouseover effects for the pictures are great, but
the text is giving me errors.

They are all the object expected error. I would post all the lines but
to make it easier for you guys I will post one.... line 141 char 1

Could anyone give me a hand here.

To publish the sites webpages I merely make sure I upload the page and
content to the server. I do it manually... FTP and copy paste.
(basically I open the mykk.net site via FrontPage to upload my website)
I like the control of knowing all the pieces are up on the server.

Thanks ahead of time....for any help given

Does it have anything to do with this line

<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation"
src="file:///C:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20Office/OFFICE11/fpclass/animate.js">

The part where it is pointing to my C drive.... if so how do I fix
it.... for those looking for it in the souce it is line 14

This line is worng
<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation"
src="file:///C:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20Office/OFFICE11/fpclass/animate.js">
It is an absolute reference to a file on your C: drive

It should be a relatie reference, i.e.
<script language="JavaScript1.2" fptype="dynamicanimation"
src="../fpclass/animate.js">
since animate.js is located at
http://www.mykk.net/fpclass/animate.js
(I think I have that right)

ya I just put that there.. I copied and pasted it from my c drive.....
what I am wondering though is now everytime I do additional DHTML
effects in FrontPage will I have to upload this file everytime?

Seems sort of a pain.

I have also found that FrontPage wont let me link to it unless I paste
it directly in the same directory folder as the website... thus I now
have three folders with the same file in them. When I type
.../../animate.js or ../fpclass/animate.js depending on location of
file, it changes it back upon saving in FrontPage.

Mykk,
I am glad that you got it to work.

But as to why FP changes what you type, I am afraid we need someone more
expert than I to reply.

Let's hope )
