Sorry about this. It's just because I'm trying to make a post with some code in it but Sentinel keeps blocking me and saying that i'm banned...

Am I doing something wrong? (im posting this in HTML because Sentinel wont let me post this same php code... !!??)

Code:










mach1initial = new Image;


mach1initial.src = "mach1.JPG";





mach1onoffswitch = new Image;


mach1onoffswitch.src = "mach1onoffswitch.JPG"; 








<p align="center"><b>MACH 1</b></p>





<p align="center"><map name="FPMap0">


<area coords="157, 118, 160, 117, 161, 132, 169, 138, 167, 143, 161, 153, 162, 160, 165, 166, 157, 167, 155, 165, 153, 148, 152, 145, 149, 143, 148, 137, 152, 134" shape="polygon" nohref onMouseOver="mach1.src=mach1onoffswitch.src" onMouseOut="mach1.src='mach1.JPG'">


</map>


<img border="0" src="mach1.JPG" width="300" height="385" usemap="#FPMap0" name="mach1"></p>

You are probably trying to post html script and/or javascript tags. Nuke does not allow it and neither does NukeSentinel.

So anyways, my problem is that everytime i onmouseover or onmouseout it redownloads the image... Thanks for your help.

<?php
if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");

}
require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
include("header.php");
$index = 0;
OpenTable();
echo"<script langage=\"Java script\">"
. ""
. "mach1initial = new Image;"
. "mach1initial.src = \"modules/teamthemachs/mach1.JPG\";"
. ""
. "mach1 = new Image;"
. "mach1.src = \"modules/teamthemachs/mach1.JPG\";"
. ""
. "mach1onoffswitch = new Image;"
. "mach1onoffswitch.src = \"modules/teamthemachs/mach1onoffswitch.JPG\"; "
. ""
. "</ script>"
. ""
. "<p align=\"center\"><b>MACH 1</b></p>"
. ""
. "<p align=\"center\"><map name=\"FPMap0\">"
. "<area coords=\"157, 118, 160, 117, 161, 132, 169, 138, 167, 143, 161, 153, 162, 160, 165, 166, 157, 167, 155, 165, 153, 148, 152, 145, 149, 143, 148, 137, 152, 134\" shape=\"polygon\" nohref onMouseOver=\"mach1.src=mach1onoffswitch.src\" onMouseOut=\"mach1.src=mach1initial.src\">"
. "</map>"
. "<img border=\"0\" src=\"modules/teamthemachs/mach1.JPG\" width=\"300\" height=\"385\" usemap=\"#FPMap0\" name=\"mach1\"></p>";
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");

And I've tried installing two different preloader on my site and I guess they don't have one that works for 7.4 yet

Thats a fairly large image to preload but anything you can do in a html page should work fine as long as it doesn't conflict with any other java already loading.

You might try putting the preload code into either includes/my_header.php or includes/javascript.php or directly into the header.php above the previously mentioned to see if it loads better when called before the java that may be included in those.

I'd wrap it in something like this to prevent it loading on other pages.
if (stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'teamthemachs')) {
_Your preload image code here_
}

I have done what you said, for some reason whenever you onmouse out, the image has to load...

index.php code:

Code:




  . "<p align=\"center\"><map name=\"FPMap0\">"


  . "<area coords=\"222, 165, 229, 167, 228, 184, 227, 189, 237, 198, 234, 206, 230, 211, 232, 235, 225, 238, 220, 211, 214, 205, 212, 198, 214, 191, 219, 189, 219, 168\" shape=\"polygon\" nohref onMouseOver=\"mach1.src=mach1onoffswitch.src\" onMouseOut=\"mach1.src=mach1initial.src\">"


  . "</map>"


  . "<img border=\"0\" src=\"modules/teamthemachs/mach1.JPG\" usemap=\"#FPMap0\" name=\"mach1\"></p>";

My includes/my_header.php code:

Code:




if (stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'teamthemachs')) { 


echo"<script langage=\"Java script\">" 


. "" 


. "mach1initial = new Image;" 


. "mach1initial.src = \"modules/teamthemachs/mach1.JPG\";" 


. "" 


. "mach1onoffswitch = new Image;" 


. "mach1onoffswitch.src = \"modules/teamthemachs/mach1onoffswitch.JPG\"; " 


. "" 


. "</ script>"; 





}

Seems to work ok for me with firefox and IE6 using Sun Java.

oh really?
The onmouseover for me loads automatically, while the other one takes 1-2 seconds to load and at the bottom (status bar) says downloading mach1.jpg...

Hmm.. okay...
