[thelist] More frustration with dom and IE

[Chris Price]

Another case where Firefox and Opera play ball but IE won't have it.

What I have is a base image.

I then have 6 divs absolutely positioned so that when the mouse hovers 
over one of them it changes the base image.

It works fine in Firefox but won't play in IE. Any ideas?

window.onload = initElement

function initElement() {
    var ball0,ball1,ball2,ball3,ball4,ball5,ball6;
        ball0 = document.getElementById('ball_image')
        ball1 = document.getElementById('ball1')
        ball2 = document.getElementById('ball2')
        ball3 = document.getElementById('ball3')
        ball4 = document.getElementById('ball4')
        ball5 = document.getElementById('ball5')
        ball6 = document.getElementById('ball6')
        ball1.onmouseover = function() { changeBall('6ball1',ball0); 
return false }
        ball2.onmouseover = function() { changeBall('6ball2',ball0); 
return false }
        ball3.onmouseover = function() { changeBall('6ball3',ball0); 
return false }
        ball4.onmouseover = function() { changeBall('6ball4',ball0); 
return false }
        ball5.onmouseover = function() { changeBall('6ball5',ball0); 
return false }
        ball6.onmouseover = function() { changeBall('6ball6',ball0); 
return false }
        ball1.onmouseout = function() { restoreBall(ball0); return false }
        ball2.onmouseout = function() { restoreBall(ball0); return false }
        ball3.onmouseout = function() { restoreBall(ball0); return false }
        ball4.onmouseout = function() { restoreBall(ball0); return false }
        ball5.onmouseout = function() { restoreBall(ball0); return false }
        ball6.onmouseout = function() { restoreBall(ball0); return false }
       
    }
   
function changeBall(myBall,masterBall) {
    masterBall.src = '6ball/' + myBall + '.jpg'
    }
   
function restoreBall(masterBall) {
    masterBall.src = '6ball/6ball0.jpg'
    }
