onmousedown onmouseup

[NeilCarmichael]

I am flummoxed, I'm relatively new to javascript and I can't get my
onmousedown onmouseup script to work.

simply, I want to fire one function when I click down on a graphic and
a second when I release.

I tried different combinations of onmousedown onmouseup and onclick
and putting them in div's img's and anchor's but I can't get it to
work, any ideas?

<IMG SRC="down.png" alt="fade channel down"
onmousedown="ja vascript:SetDyn et('a=<%=a%>&am p;c=<%=x
%>&amp;l=0&amp; f=2')" onMouseUp="java script:SetDynet ('a=<%=a
%>&amp;p=88')" /></center>

What are the "javascript :"s doing in the values for the onmouseup and
onmousedown attributes? They aren't like the href of an <awhich
specifies a URI (and you shouldn't be using javascript: in them either
any more). The value of the onmousedown and onmouseup (and all other
onXXX) atttributes should be just javascript code.

i.e.
<img src='down.png'
onmousedown='Se tDynet(...)'
onmouseup='SetD ynet(...)' />

Also, if your using xhtml tagging (e.g. <img />) then you shouldn't be
also using <centerwhich is no longer strictly supported in xhtml. (a
simple <div style='text-align:center'sh ould do the trick.
