easy syntax question....

[Michael]

Hi,

why is it ok to have:

function home_mouseover(){
document.getElementById("hom").src = home_night.src;
}

<a href="./home.shtml" onmouseover="home_mouseover();">

but not ok (results in a syntax error) to have:

<a href="./home.shtml" onmouseover="document.getElementById("hom").src =
home_night.src;">

aren't these the same?

Thanks for your help.
