[Javascript] Date Script doesn't jive

[Sara Coren]

Thanks Tom!

Would you happen to how how to resolve this?

I barely understand JS, so I don't really know how to do this.  What I have
to do is create an object that evaluates to eval( iname + "off.src"), right?
How do I create an object that would do this?  

This may be why the rollovers don't work in some versions of Netscape, but I
don't think it has anything to do with the timer and screen show not being
happy with each other - do you?

Found an error using script debugger with IE5.5...

function imgoff(iname) {
      document[iname].src = eval( iname + "off.src"); <-------- object error
      document["pic"].src = picoff.src;
}

document[] is not an object...implying eval( iname + "off.src") doesn't
resolve to anything.
