JS mouseover/Link in table not working-IE6

[Dmac]

Hi,

I cannot get the mouseover http link to function properly
in a table on IE6 although it does in NS7. The other
link, outside the table, works perfectly with both
browsers.
I am using FP2k. The test Web page is:

http://spirits.net/link_test_page2.htm

I have searched the Web for an answer, but this must not
be a problem for most.

Thanks in advance,
Dmac

Your code is missing an </a> termination for the hyperlink. Change this -

<td align=center
<a
href="http://weather.noaa.gov/radar/mosaic.loop/DS.p19r0/ar.us.conus.shtml"
onmouseover="filter('a10','a676')" onmouseout="filter('a10','a449')"><img
src="http://gail.net/weather/upnatloop.gif" name="a10" border=0 width=275
height=25></td>

to this -

<td align=center
<a
href="http://weather.noaa.gov/radar/mosaic.loop/DS.p19r0/ar.us.conus.shtml"
onmouseover="filter('a10','a676')" onmouseout="filter('a10','a449')"><img
src="http://gail.net/weather/upnatloop.gif" name="a10" border=0 width=275
height=25></a></td>

It has nothing to do with being in or out of a table....

Thanks Murray, I must have missed that when copying it to
the test page.

It still does not work in IE though. Have I missed
something?

It is strange. I have a feeling that the filter calls are what is
blocking - seems like it's returning a false value which kills the link on
the <a> tag. When you take those mouse events out, it works as expected....
