Boy, I'm mr. Question today. I'm trying to do a seemingly simple thing - change the background image of a submit button on mouseover (or mousedown, doesn't matter). I wouldn't normally do such a thing, but long story short, I have to in order for our kiosk to do what we want it to.
Anyway, I have this code:
<input type="submit" name="helpme" style="background: url('/images/btn-helpme.gif'); width: 351px; height: 80px; border: 0;" value="" onmouseover="kbutHitState(this);" />
with the function:
function kbutHitState(oButton)
{
oButton.style.backgroundImage = "url(/'images/btn-helpme_on.gif')";
}
This works fine in FF, but I get a script error in IE: "invalid argument".
Does IE not support the access of the backgroundImage property on a submit input? The kluginess(tm) of this is just a-killin me.
Tom
