Javascript-(image rollover problem)
Mood:  chillin'
Now Playing: 'my ode to the programmer'
Topic: HTML Questions
--Yeah, so I've programmed before but I'm a little green on the javascript stuff. Building my site, I ran across a problem.
**when viewing, my image rollovers were downloading instead of automatically changing-download time approx. 250 ms. If was being viewed by a slower connection, it would look like crap.**
I spent a while addressing the issue-tried many different ways of doing the same thing, and the same problem surfaced. Finally I came across the answer.
--If you have the same problem, here is how to fix it. If you don't know javascript really well, just use a snippet from their code library-image rollover. Here are the lines of concern:
image1 = new Image();
image1.src = "html1.0.gif";
image1on = new Image();
image1on.src = "html1.1.gif";
**I knew that since the images were downloading instead of automatically swapping, there was a problem in this section of the code-preloading**
I 'echo printed' after image1.src = "html1.0.gif" to see what that variable contained:

document.write(image1.src);

When I previewed the page, I saw an http:.../html1.0.gif address.
So I then changed 'html1.1.gif' to the address it showed on the screen--image1on.src = "https://www.angelfire.com/wizard2.../html1.1.gif"
After that, it worked perfectly.
So I changed ALL the preloaded image addresses to that format, and they all worked like they were supposed to.

**What was happening was the 'image.src' variables contained a location for FETCHING the image-which enabled it to download on mouse over, but not pre-load. In the file manager (web shell), my images were called 'html1.0.gif', but the LOCATION they were stored in was -http://www.angelfire.com...html1.0.gif'. Thus, preloading was ineffective, and it did not contain the preloaded image but rather a location with which to find the image and later download it.**

**If you have this problem, the solution is easy--
just 'echo print' the .src variable after one of the preloading lines of code, and make sure the string that you assign to that variable matches the string it shows on the screen when you preview the page. Then assign the same type of address to the rest of your images at the preloading section of your code and you're all finished!**

help with background
Mood:  irritated
Topic: Image Questions
I found an image on the angelfire directory I want to use on my site. It said to copy the code into my page and I did that. But, it won't show up no matter what I do. I have built pages before and know the html codes, but for some reason, I can't seem to get this on right. Since it is coming from angelfire via their link, do I still have to upload the image into my image file? Thats the only thing I haven't done and there are no instructions on how to get that image into my image file. Thanks...

upgrading
Mood:  rushed
Im going nuts here. I want to go from a neon account to the next level so i can have a domain name. When i get the membership section of the upgrade it asks me to choose/enter an alias.

Not only am i not sure whathat is, when i try to enter a name(current or new name) it says....

We Need More Information Below

Please complete entries labeled in red:
- - - - - -
? Someone has already chosen that Member Name. Please choose another Member Name below.



I tried like 20 names. It even says that right when i get to that section, before i enter anything in. Also there is no drop down box to select a name from so i am lost.
All i get is this......

* Please choose an Alias to use at Angelfire then click the "Sign Me Up"
button below.


https://www.angelfire.com//
Choose An Alias
Create your own:

the biggest problem is, i do not see a sign me up button. just the continue button at the bottom of the screen.

Also the live tech support doesnt seem to be working.
HELP ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Domain Name questions
Mood:  a-ok
I don't know if anyone will have the answer to this, but I am being hopeful.

When you have the free domain name that Angelfire offers, is it completely free or is there a yearly charge on top of the monthly charge that you are billed on your charge card?

If anyone knows then I thank you in advance.
Hev

Help somebody!!!
Mood:  d'oh
I am experiencing a problem I never had before. When my pages load in edit (preview), I have no problem. However when I am viewing them as others would view them, the page goes blank as soon as everything is loaded. That means you can only see what's there for a split second and it's gone and you can't follow the link to the next page or use any link on the page.

I have asked others if this happens to them, and they say no.

I have a Macintosh, and they have PCs. I use the MAC OS 10.

I know that the trade off for a free site is going to be pop-ups or ads, but my site has so many angelfire ads, pop-ups and side bars that it is difficult to find the content in my site.

Am I doing something wrong? Please look at it and let me know. https://www.angelfire.com/biz/musicsale/
