On this page I have a table with an ID of "picTable".

I have this javascript code that I am using in order to change the background of the table when a button is moused-over:

<script type="text/javascript">
function t(s){
document.getElementById('picTable').background = s;
//document.getElementById('picTable').refresh;
}
</script>

and for the button ...

<a href="#" onMouseOver="t('/hardware_graphics/pic1.jpg');" onMouseOut="t('/hardware_graphics/image_placeholder.jpg',0);" />

Works perfectly in IE, but not in Firefox. I have used the same script to change other elements and it has worked in FF, but not with the table background image. Also, the refresh tag is in there because I tried it and it didn't make a difference.

Thanks a lot for any ideas!

what (true/false) do you want the function to return and when?

also,

<a href="#" onMouseOver="t('/hardware_graphics/pic1.jpg');" onMouseOut="t('/hardware_graphics/image_placeholder.jpg',0);" />

why the closing tag on the <a> link? eg <a href..... />
Is there no link? If not, why the <a> tag?

Ahh nevermind, made it work by using a regular image to replace rather than table bg image. Not ideal because i have to do some cropping but it will work.
