[thelist] Javascript - image swap not working on NS 4.75 Mac

Thu Nov 28 16:09:00 CST 2002

Hi all,

I'm tearing my hair out. I've got an image swap thingy that isn't working on
NS 4.75 for Mac, but seems to work fine everywhere else.

It's supposed to replace the main image with a different image when you
click on a thumbnail. I don't know if I'm overlooking something totally
basic, or what. If one of you JavaScript gurus could look it over and tell
me what I'm doing wrong that would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Tara
