Trying to follow a script from this site.

[theremotedr]

I have installed the scrip as per link below and works ok but need some advice.
When i place my mouse over the photo it shakes like it is supposed to but upon moving the mouse on & off the photo at different angles the shake is either ok or fast or very fast.
I am lost as to how to get it the same speed.

Thanks for any advice given.

Some might call that a feature.

For more consistent performance, use this slightly modified version:

<script type="text/javascript">

/*
Shake image script (onMouseover)- 
© Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com)
For full source code, usage terms, and 100's more DHTML scripts, visit http://dynamicdrive.com
*/

//configure shake degree (where larger # equals greater shake)
var rector=3

///////DONE EDITTING///////////
var stopit=0 
var a=1

function init(which){
stopit=0
shake=which
shake.style.left=0
shake.style.top=0
}

function rattleimage(){
clearTimeout(rattleimage.timer);
if ((!document.all&&!document.getElementById)||stopit==1)
return
if (a==1){
shake.style.top=parseInt(shake.style.top)+rector+"px"
}
else if (a==2){
shake.style.left=parseInt(shake.style.left)+rector+"px"
}
else if (a==3){
shake.style.top=parseInt(shake.style.top)-rector+"px"
}
else{
shake.style.left=parseInt(shake.style.left)-rector+"px"
}
if (a<4)
a++
else
a=1
rattleimage.timer = setTimeout("rattleimage()",50)
}

function stoprattle(which){
stopit=1
which.style.left=0
which.style.top=0
}

</script>

HI
I have just put the original code in and it shakes.
I then removed the original & replaced it with the above then no shake ?

[theremotedr]

I have now removed the script as i could not sort it out so having to think of another script to use,thanks

That seems perhaps a bit impatient. Perhaps one of us made a typo. I tested it and it works:

You can use your browser's "View Source" to get the working code. Or if there is a problem with the above demo, perhaps it's browser specific. In that case which browser are you using?

If you want me to fix your implementation, please include a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

Sorry about that,didnt mean to upset anyone.
I have come away from that idea now and just using the photos.

Thanks for the reply anyhow.

[theremotedr]

In my inbox today was an email to say that there was a reply to this thread by "username" but when i look i see no reply from that person ?

Any advice.
