JavaScript:Tutorial, MouseOver Image Change

**TcM** · 12-03-2006 12:20 PM

Introduction:-
In this tutorial I will show you how to change the image when the user puts the cursor over an image and then change it back when the user puts the cursor away from the image.

Solution:-
Make These Two Functions Between The <head> tags:-

Code:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

if (document.images)
 {
     img1on= new Image(100,100);
     img1on.src="img2.jpg";  

     img1off= new Image(100,100);
     img1off.src="img1.jpg";
 }

function change(imgName)
 {
   if (document.images)
      {
         imgOn=eval(imgName + "on.src");
         document[imgName].src= imgOn;
      }
 }

function changeback(imgName)
 {
   if (document.images)
      {
        imgOff=eval(imgName + "off.src");
        document[imgName].src= imgOff;
      }
 }

</SCRIPT>

And Make This code between the <body> Tags:-

Code:

<A onMouseover="change('img1')" onMouseout="changeback('img1')">
<IMG SRC="img1.jpg" name="img1" width="100" height="100"></A>

Save your work and add these 2 images into your directory to see the effect

Explanation:-
You think it is needed? I think its self explanatory. But if you have any problems.. just ask

A Preview:-

Conclusion:-
As Always Feedback is welcome and the full source is attached!!

 {
     img1on= new Image(100,100);
     img1on.src="img2.jpg";  

     img1off= new Image(100,100);
     img1off.src="img1.jpg";
 }

It is creating a new image that is 100x100 (size) and the src is img2.jpg. Similar to saying:

HTML Code:

<img src="img2.jpg" width="100" height="100">
