here's my script

if(document.images){
ftover = new Array(7);
ftout = new Array(7);
helpover = new Array(6);
helpout = new Array(6);
for(var n=1;n<=7;n++)

{
ftover[n]=new Image();
ftout[n]=new Image();
helpover[n]=new Image();
helpout[n]=new Image();
ftover[n].src="images/nav01_0"+n+"r.gif";
ftout[n].src="images/nav01_0"+n+"n.gif";
helpover[n].src="images/nav2_0"+n+"r.gif";
helpout[n].src="images/nav2_0"+n+"n.gif";
}
}



function tabOn(i) {
if(document.images)
document.images["ft"+i].src=ftover[i].src;
}

function tabOff(i) {
if(document.images)
document.images["ft"+i].src=ftout[i].src;
}

function helpOn(i) {
if(document.images)
document.images["help"+i].src=helpover[i].src;
}

function helpOff(i) {
if(document.images)
document.images["help"+i].src=helpout[i].src;
}

ftover and ftout has 7 items. the problem is that the helpover and helpout variable only has 6 but is still looking for a 7th item because there is only one for loop

for(var n=1;n<=7;n++)

since I am a javascript neophyte, i feel that i'm stuck in a rut. should i create a new for loop? if i do, would it affect my existing for loop? any help is appreciated. thanks.

Just put an if conditional statement inside the for loop containing the helpover and helpout arrays like this:

for(var n=1;n<=7;n++)

{
ftover[n]=new Image();
ftout[n]=new Image();
ftover[n].src="images/nav01_0"+n+"r.gif";
ftout[n].src="images/nav01_0"+n+"n.gif";
if(n<7){
helpover[n]=new Image();
helpout[n]=new Image();
helpover[n].src="images/nav2_0"+n+"r.gif";
helpout[n].src="images/nav2_0"+n+"n.gif";
}
}
}

Also, doesn't creating an array(7) give you 0 - 6? If so, aren't you going past the end of both arrays? Sorry if I'm wrong here, I program in C++ for class a lot
