Colin Fraser, ameet vasu,

This question is a little vague, but I suspect you are talking about a 
rollover image. The page is loaded and the pointer is positioned over 
the image and the script executs but all you get is the little red cross 
and bounding box, but no image.  Try this: 
The first part sets up the images in a cache and performs the rollover
<SCRIPT>
//to cache images
	if (document.images) { 
		arrowPink = new Image 
		arrowBlue = new Image
		arrowRed = new Image
		arrowBlue.src="normalimage.gif"
		arrowPink.src="mouseoverimage.gif"
		arrowRed.src="clickimage.gif"
	}  //end if
/*This function performs the actual rollovers in the document and 
appears AFTER the above code*/
function chgImage (imgName,newImg ) {
	if (document.images) {
		document[imgName].src=eval(newImg+".src")
	}  //end if
} //end function
</SCRIPT>
The following link executes the call to the function above. 
<a href='javascript:void' onMouseOver=chgImage('pic0','arrowPink') 
onMouseOut=chgImage('pic0','arrowBlue') 
onClick=chgImage('pic0','arrowRed')> <img src='image1.gif' border=0 
name='pic0' alt='going nowhere'>
Note the single quote marks, this is the area where most mistakes are 
made, people write their code as they normally would in HTML and use 
double quote marks, they forget, I know, I do it all the time then 
wonder why my code does not run as it should. 
I hope this resolves your problem, otherwise, please ask your question 
again.
