Rollover. Good dog!

Today while working on a design for a small project I’m doing, I coded a JavaScript image rollover for the first time in at least a year, maybe two. A few years ago, it was rare for two weeks to go by without having to code a damn rollover. They were all the rage back when JavaScript 1.1 first came out. A bunch of us on the WebMonster Web design mailing list hacked out how to do rollovers…and felt pretty damn clever for doing so. This afternoon, I didn’t even know where to start. what.src? Huh?
