I'm confused over the mouse rollover effects and javascript

[Tom Miller]

This is some html code from a FrontPage website that clearly works on the
webserver:

<a href="home.htm">
<img border="0" id="img1" src="images/buttonA.jpg" height="30"
width="150" alt="home" fp-style="fp-btn: Glass Rectangle 5; fp-font: Arial
Black; fp-font-color-normal: #004185; fp-font-color-hover: #004185"
fp-title="home"
onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'images/buttonB.jpg')"
onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'images/buttonA.jpg')"
onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'images/buttonC.jpg')"
onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'images/buttonB.jpg')"></a></p>

And its not working when I move it off the server with FPSE on it. Is
"FP_swapImg" function call only available on a server with FPSE? I thought
it was straight javascript code?

Thanks,
Tom Miller

FP_swapimg() is "straight Javascript code". But the function must be in the
page or in an external .js file.
Copying the link does not copy the javascript, but FrontPage usually
recreates the code if you have a web open and switch between Design and Code
view. Not always though.

Since FrontPage behaviours (including swap_image sometimes disappear from
the page, I place the Javascripts in an external file and link to file in
each page that uses them.
See the code in http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/b/buttons/ for an
example.
Look for <script type="text/javascript"
src="/_themes/fp_functions.js"></script>

(And I just noticed the on-page version of the swap image behaviours has
gone again...)
