Your code is unlikely to be able to be easily restored from your post after the editor has wrapped it. Either supply a link to the page (best), attach a file, or use [code] [/code] tags as explained here around your code so that it will look like so:

You have a script conflict between your image preload script and the tool tip script. To resolve that, remove this from the tool tip script:

Code:

window.onload = initTip;

and make your body tag look like so (addition red):

Code:

<body bgcolor="#000000" onLoad="initTip();MM_preloadImages('menudownloadsroll.gif','menuhomeroll.gif','menuforumsroll.gif','menuscreenshotsroll.gif','menulinksroll.gif','menumemberroll.gif')" link="#FFFF99">

There could be other problems but, this needs to be fixed first, it may be all that is needed to fix it.

**jscheuer1** · 03-14-2006, 04:57 PM

I found another problem, your arrays:

Code:

messages[0] = new Array('neo.gif,);
messages[1] = new Array('hobf.gif,);
messages[2] = new Array('botem.gif,);

should look like this:

Code:

messages[0] = new Array('neo.gif','');
messages[1] = new Array('hobf.gif','');
messages[2] = new Array('botem.gif','');
