Help: swap Image Link works in IE but Not FF

PEJO

I'm not much of a JS programmer so I used the the standard Macromedia swap
image function for a disjointed rollover..which works
fine.. no problem swapping the image with that code....

but when I add the following to the onMouseOver to the thumbnail:
onMouseOver="Product_Link.href='http://glasstoilets.com/catalog/tank1-p-28.html';

and

this to the full size...

<a href="" name="Product_Link"><img src="Files/images/300x216/PICT0876.jpg"
name="Main_Image" width="300" height="216" id="PICT1204_l"</a>

It works fine in IE but not firefox... Meaning the images swap no problem in
both but the link only works in IE. My searching tells me that I may have
to use getElementById() but I'm not sure how to implement it in this
scenario.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try this first:

<img src="Files/images/300x216/PICT0876.jpg"
onMouseOver="this.href='http://glasstoilets.com/catalog/tank1-p-28.html'"
onmouseout="this.href='Files/images/300x216/PICT0876.jpg'"

======================

FF correctly does not use a element name as an object.

Try:

<img src='' id="Plnk">

<img src="Files/images/300x216/PICT0876.jpg"
onMouseOver=
"document.getElementById('Plnk').href =
'http://glasstoilets.com/catalog/tank1-p-28.html'"

OK I've tried this.. I'm getting a JS error when I rollover the small image.
It swaps the image but not the links.

here is the code I implemented as per your explanation.

for the thumbnail:

<a href="http://glasstoilets.com/catalog/tank1-p-28.html"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Bass_model_s','','Files/images/70x50/Bass_model.jpg',1);MM_swapImage('Main_Image','','F iles/images/300x216/Bass_model.jpg',1)"><img
src="Files/images/70x50/Bass_model.jpg"
onMouseOver="document.getElementById('Plnk').href= 'http://glasstoilets.com/catalog/tank1-p-28.html';"
name="Bass_model_s" border="0" id="Bass_model_s"></a>

(The Debug popup points to an error in the above code.)
here is what I have for the main image as well

<img src="Files/images/300x216/PICT0876.jpg" name="Main_Image" width="300"
height="216" id="Plnk">

PLEASE do not toppost, but post under each part of the text you aree
reacting on.

for the thumbnail:

<a href="http://glasstoilets.com/catalog/tank1-p-28.html"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Bass_model_s','','Files/images/70x50/Bass_mo

MM_swapImage() what function is that?

del.jpg',1);MM_swapImage('Main_Image','','Files/images/300x216/Bass_mod
el.jpg',1)"><img src="Files/images/70x50/Bass_model.jpg"
onMouseOver="document.getElementById('Plnk').href= 'http://glasstoilets.
com/catalog/tank1-p-28.html';" name="Bass_model_s" border="0"
id="Bass_model_s"></a>

So you have TWO onmouseovers over each other,
each changing some attribute of the other?

Why?

I do not even know what you want to accomplish.

Do you?

Why would you want to change an <ahref on mouseover, since you cannt
click it without first hoovering?

(The Debug popup points to an error in the above code.)

What is a "Debug popup"?
What error?
What line of code?

btw, why do you name an img that has a id?

here is what I have for the main image as well

<img src="Files/images/300x216/PICT0876.jpg" name="Main_Image"
width="300" height="216" id="Plnk">

==============================

The best I can do for you is deleting all the code junk that is not
part of the probem and show you this:

<img
src='PICT0876.jpg'
id='Plnk'

>

<br><br>
<img
src='img1.jpg'
onMouseOver='doit(this);'
onClick= 'goThere();'
alt = 'Hover me or click me!'

>

<script type='text/javascript'>

function doit(x) {
x.src = 'img2.jpg';
x.style.cursor = 'pointer';
document.getElementById('Plnk').src =
'PICT0999999.jpg';
};

function goThere() {
location.href = 'http://cnn.com/';
};

</script>
