tab menu - change tabs onmouseover, onmouseout, onclick

[oll3i]

i wrote css class for a href but when i add this class to link it doesnt see the image but when i add the inline css it sees it
i m writing javascript tab menu and i want tabs to change on mouse over, on mouse out and on click

a.menu_on_mouse_over{
width:80px;
height:22px;
float:left;
text-align:center;
margin-top:0;
margin-right:1px;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:0;
font-size:100%;
text-decoration:none;
color:#FFF;
font-weight:bold;
background:url(../images/top_menu_hover.gif) left top no-repeat;  
padding:3px 0 0 0;
}
 

the css is in css/menu.css
and images are in folder
images/top_menu_hover.gif

in js menu i have

document.write('<li style="display:inline;"><a href=\'/HRDB/candidates/index.jsp?sortby=name,f=1,switch_f=1,modul=candidates\'  onclick="className=\'menu_on_mouse_over\'" onmouseover="className=\'menu_on_mouse_over\'" onmouseout="className=\'menu_on_mouse_out\'" class="menu_on_mouse_out">');
document.write(this.var1);
document.write('</a></li>');
 

thank You

[oll3i]

maybe i should have posted it on javascript forum?

[oll3i]

i got back to my jsp project i don't know how to write js tab menu without document.write as You suggested before so I'm stuck

i wrote css class for a href but when i add this class to link it doesnt see the tab background image but when i add the inline css it sees it
i want tabs to change on mouse over, on mouse out and on click

a.menu_on_mouse_over{
width:80px;
height:22px;
float:left;
text-align:center;
margin-top:0;
margin-right:1px;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:0;
font-size:100%;
text-decoration:none;
color:#FFF;
font-weight:bold;
background:url(../images/top_menu_hover.gif) left top no-repeat;  
padding:3px 0 0 0;
}
 
 

and then in menu.js file in display function i have

document.write('<li style="display:inline;"><a href=\'/HRDB/candidates/index.jsp?sortby=name,f=1,switch_f=1,modul=candidates\'  onclick="className=\'menu_on_mouse_over\'" onmouseover="className=\'menu_on_mouse_over\'" onmouseout="className=\'menu_on_mouse_out\'" class="menu_on_mouse_out">');
document.write(this.var1);
document.write('</a></li>');
 

it doesnt throw any error now

the css is in css/menu.css
and images are in folder
images/top_menu_hover.gif

thank You

Rather than just className, you need this.className.

PS. merged threads.

[oll3i]

thanks for merging threads
... but even with "this" still doesn't work

Where is the display function called?

[oll3i]

the display finction is called in my jsp file

<script>
var menu = new Menu();
menu.display();
</script>
 

look please at the document.write in my 4th post this line is part of display function

Is it just the image that it's not finding or none of the CSS rules are being applied?

[oll3i]

hmm i forgot to add css file to jsp file hihi it works now :) thank You next time i will know that i have to check if i included the file first before i post something but it happens sometimes

Barking up the wrong tree all along, eh? As you say, it happens. Glad you've got it sorted.
