beetle please come here. question.

I saw one of your posts that gave a link to your kooky scramble link script, and I looked at your script, and I was wondering why didn't you do it the shorter way? Here's my version of the scrambler:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function scramble(x,w) {
document.getElementById(x).innerText = w;
}

// -->
</script>

then just use:

<a href="#" id="1" onMouseOver="scramble('1','word');" onMouseOut="scramble('1','dorw');">dorw</a>

I'm just wondering why you used the longer version of the script.

My script scrambles the links for you, and doesn't require that you add mouse events to EVERY link. Your's does the opposite on both accounts.

So in fact, on a page of 100 links, mine wouldn't need to change at all, just add the links. For yours, well, let's just say you'd have a lot of cut'n'paste and some word scrambling to do.

:D
