Re: onmouseover routine

[jhunter@llnl.gov]

Mark:

I have the same situation here but not just with the mouseover event. 
I am having this problem with 'button' objects and 'onClick' events.
For example, I have an About button that opens a new window with 'About Info' 
and an OK button. The problem although only seems to be happening with a Mac 
and Windows NT browser. It seems to work fine with my UNIX (SunOS) browser.
(Haven't tried Windows 95 yet.) I haven't been able to come up with a solution
though. Just wanted to let you know that it isn't specific to the mouseover
event and that you are not alone. :-)
