onmouseover image map

liunx · Jan 9, 2008

I have this frame that I want to have an image map and also a mouseover. The mouseover writes to a form box below the image. But my browser keeps giving me errors and I can't find what they're coming from. Here's the code: 
 
<head> 
<script language="javascript"> 
function writetext(txt) { 
document.aform.writetext.value = txt 
return true;} 
</script> 
</head><body> 
<MAP NAME="map1"> 
<area href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"mybio.htm" shape="poly" coords="10, 31, 32, 61, 52, 33" onmouseover='writetext(" View my BIO."); return true' onmouseout='writetext(""); return=true'></map> 
<center><form name="aform"><TEXTAREA COLS=21 ROWS=1 NAME="writetext" wrap="yes"></TEXTAREA></form></center> 
 
Thanks for your help.There is such a litte mistake in it: 
 
.....return true' onmouseout='writetext(""); return=true'></map> .... 
^ 
?br />
?br />
 
Have a look at the second return and replace '=' with a space as you have it in the first one.

MarkusI saw that my illustration might be confusing 
 
Just ommit the second "=" - your line should look like that: 
 
.....return true' onmouseout='writetext(""); 
return true'></map> .... 
 
instead of 
 
.....return true' onmouseout='writetext(""); return=true'></map> .... 
 
regards - faesiThanks. I looked over my source and sure enough I had been, for every one (except that one that was in the code I posted) of the return arguments was messed up like that one. Now it works perfectly. Thanks a lot.
