// Bill Weinman's Common JavaScript Rollover Engine
// As described in "Creative HTML Design", by Lynda and Bill Weinman

// You are free to use this script, and modify it to 
// your heart's content. You must leave this entire header
// --including this notice--intact, and make sure there 
// is a reference to our web site: <http://www.htmlbook.com/>. 
//
// Version 1.0.  First release with Creative HTML Design
//
// Requires the following variables to be defined in the HTML document: 
//
// okay = false       This prevents the script from running prematurely
// rtype              "highlighting", "pointing", or "slideshow"
// imagenames array   All the base imagenames
// suffixes           imagename suffix Used for highlighting rollovers
// path               path to images (must end in "/")
// ext                filename extension for images (e.g., ".gif")
//
// Initialization Instructions:
// ----------------------------
// Initialization is different for each of the various types of rollovers. 
// 
// "highlighting" type rollovers:
//
//     These are the most common types of rollovers. As your mouse 
//     passes over each image, that image is replace by a "highlighted" 
//     version. 
//
//     The "imagenames" array is used for two purposes: each name in the 
//     array must also match the NAME attribute for the corresponding 
//     IMG tag. The "suffixes" array is used to complete the filename 
//     for each image: the first value is added for onMouseOver events, 
//     and the second is added for onMouseOut events. 
// 
// "pointing" type rollovers:
//
//     As your mouse passes over each link, an image points at that 
//     link. 
//
//     The "imagenames" array uses just one image name, for the 
//     "pointing" image.
// 
// "slideshow" type rollovers:
//
//     As your mouse passes over each link, an image changes in one 
//     location, like a slideshow. 
//
//     The "imagenames" array is used for the names of all the images. 
// 


function roll_init()
{
// get the variables
var_init();  // this calls the function from the web page

// find out what browser this is
with(navigator) {
  code = appCodeName; 
  app = appName; 
  version = appVersion; 
  iver = parseInt(version); 
  ua = userAgent;
  }

// these are from the web page too. 
son  = suffixes[0];  
soff = suffixes[1];

// ua string is a generalized printable string
uastring = app + " " + iver;

// this will work in "Mozilla" 3+ (includes MSIE 4)
//if ( code == "Mozilla" && iver >= 3 )  okay = true;
//else okay = false;
