My question is in regard to the navigation frame. The onmouseover images preload as they should. When a section is moused over, two things are supposed to happen:

1. The moused over image appears.
2. Text appears in the bottom status window.

#2 does not work. I can get it to work in the rest of the site whenever someone mouses over a link. I looked over the code repeatedly and cannot figure out what is wrong.

Any ideas?

Are you sure it's self.status that you should be modifying? I thought it was window.status that you changed to do statusbar text tricks.

Yes, it's self.status


It works fine when I do it on the other pages.

Try parent.status - I imagine the window.status object is only going to apply to the topmost frameset, not the children.

I believe I found the problem.

There was a quotation mark following the switch.src's and BEFORE the self.status, thus terminating ONMOUSEOVER prematurely.

I took out that quotation mark and all seems to work.


Can anyone else confirm that the status window text now appears? I tested with IE (Safari cannot do this quite yet).
