Tutorial Details:

Code Beach - Mouseover / Rollover Effect in JavaScript

First see a ROLLOVER demo0

This is what you often see on various web sites - when you hover your cursor over an image, it metamorphoses into some other image. For instance, a simple two-dimensional button changing into three-dimensional with shadow underneath. We generally have such buttons in a navigation bar, and we have learnt how to use a common navigation bar using the Server Side Inculdes .

What we want to do here is, change the look of the image when we take the cursor on that image. Before we proceed, using your favorite image editor, prepare two images of identical dimensions - we are going to use them here. You already know that you can insert an image in a web page by using:


And with a link,

We want your_image.gif to change into something else when we take the cursor to the link mylink.html .

As mentioned above, make two images of same dimensions, and name them as image_in.gif and image_out.gif . Here, image_out.gif should be the normal link, without the cursor on it, and image_in.gif should be the image you want to display when the cursor is hovering over the link, that is, when the cursor takes the shape of a hand with a pointing finger.

Having images made, let us see how the JavaScript looks:

and the HTML code that uses this JavaScript to render the rollover effect:

The tags onMouseOver and onMouseOut invoke the function rollover() , where "n" is the index number of the image you want changed.
