Help with a Javascript that works in almost all browser but IE

[qwicfingers]

I have a javascript that works fine in almost every browsers with the exception of IE. the script is a function that allows you to click on a thumbnail and it loads the image by replacing an image. Does any one have an idea about how to get it to work in IE?

in the head:
<!--

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.0
var p,i,x;

if(!d) d=document;

if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length)
{
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);
}

if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && document.getElementById) x=document.getElementById(n);
return x;
}

function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array;

for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null)
{
document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];
}
}

-->

in the body:

<td><a href="javascript:;" onclick="MM_swapImage('largeimg','','img/.../2.jpg',1)"><img src="img/.../2thumb.jpg" name="defeat" border="0" height="50" width="50" alt=""></a></td>

Thanks

i dont know but on first glance this looks wonky: href="javascript:;"

i have never seen that link type before... maybe thats the cause of the issues

try href="#"

It would be much simpler to:

<script>

function swapBig(theImg){
document.getElementById('bigviewer').src=theImg;
}
</script>

And id the big image bigviewer, so it looks like this:

<a href="javascript:swapBig('theImageurl1.gif');"><img src="thumb1.gif"></a><br>
<a href="javascript:swapBig('theImageurl2.gif');"><img src="thumb2.gif"></a><br>
<a href="javascript:swapBig('theImageur3.gif');"><img src="thumb3.gif"></a><br>
<img id="bigviewer" src="spacer.gif">

Try that

Thanks Single Paradox that is a lot simpler.

To make the page friendly with javascript-disabled browsers.

function swapBig(theImg){
   document.getElementById('bigviewer').src=theImg;
   return false;
}
...
<a href="theImageurl1.gif" onclick="return swapBig(this.href);"><img src="thumb1.gif" /></a>

Even if javascript is disabled or not supported, the image will still be shown.
