Troubleshooting

Divs Don't Change on Rollover

When I roll the mouse over my links, the text doesn't change.

The most common cause of this is a typographical error in your code. Look in the status bar of the browser and make sure that an error doesn't appear in your script. If it does, carefully review the code you entered to make sure that you haven't made a mistake.

This can also be caused by having scripting turned off in your browser. To check that in Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options and click the Security tab. Select the appropriate zone (select Internet if using a URL with dots in it and Intranet if using a URL without dots) and click the Custom button. Make sure that the Enabled option is selected for Active Scripting. To check that in Netscape, select Edit, Preferences, and then double-click the Advanced category. Select the Scripts & Plugins category and make sure that the Navigator check box is checked.

Images Don't Swap Instantly

I've entered in all the code including the preloading code, but my rollover image doesn't swap instantly. Instead, there is a delay while the second image loads.

Internet Explorer can be configured so that it checks the Web server each time a file is requested to see if a newer version is on the server. This check can cause a delay in the display of rollover images.

To correct this, select Tools, Internet Options. Make sure that the General tab is selected and click the Settings button. In the Check for Newer Versions of Stored Pages section, choose the Automatically option and click OK.
