getElementByID help - getting X boxes when cursor not on link

[DanaOldfather]

In IE8 I get an "X" box where my image placeholder is whenever my cursor is not on a link to bring up the image. How do I get it to just be a blank white space when cursor is not on the link to the element? Same with FireFox but just when cursor is within the one cell of the table, not the entire page like in IE8.

Could someone tell me how I can clean this us?

Your image:

Is a 404 not found.

I'm not sure what you mean about Firefox, perhaps that one image that is pointed to when the:

cursor is within the one cell of the table

is missing as well.

To avoid momentary missing image tokens on first rollover of each of the triggers while viewing the page for the first time, all the images should be preloaded, either wholesale or on an as needed basis.

Thanks for your help! I just forgot the "images/" in naming the gif under my code for the hideImage.

:0 You guys are great!
