Hi,

I've recently designed a simple site for a client which contains rollovers. Unfortunately when they upload it to their server these don't work. However, the rollovers are fine on my server. I'd very much appreciate someones help as to why this may be happening. The site can be viewed on my server at www.alexmcleod.co.uk

thanks in advance
Alex

Those rollovers are controlled by complex JavaScript that has the trademark look of "I clicked the generate rollover button in Dreamweaver." They could be done with about 1/8th the code in CSS.

Don't know what to tell you. Make sure the paths are correct on their server - it might not be finding the right images. There's no reason to believe - since you don't seem to be using any server-side technology - that the server or its OS would have anything to do with the problem.

cheers pgo - and you're right, I did click the generate rollover button in Dreamweaver! Does this shed any light on the problem - their URL is www.tcrsearch.co.uk. Thanks for your help

No idea. Sorry.

The only difference I saw was that on their server the code is compressed into one line and totally unreadable.

cheers for looking anyway. so it seems it's something they're doing wrong either on upload or a problem with their server maybe? The files at both URLs should be identical.
