[thelist] javascript:// :is it necessary?

"onmouseover" is an event that is trigger by the the mouse moving over the
'object'.  The object is defined by the browser.  JS can be run on, or as a
rtesult of, the triggering event.  The mouseover is not JS.  The action
taken on the mouseover, (in this case) is JS.  I can just as easily write
ASP/VBScript to fire off on the event trigger, (and have on many occasions).

Clarify...  I do know that classes and jars fit into the Java catergory, not
JS.  I was trying to be clear that I did not have any java OR javascript
actions taking place on the mouse over event.

First off, classes and jars are Java things, not
JavaScript.

Second, images[imagename].src is JavaScript, all
mouseovers are javascript.
