hello,
I'm working on a site in DreamweaverMX.
I would like to change the color of a text in a layer when the user rolls over an image in another layer Is this possible? I can understand most of javascript because i'm experienced in actionscript, I figure I can use a js. function to point to a certain layer or something likewise? please help.

you have to give and id atribute for the tag that encloses that text (ie. td, font, span, p, etc). and then say onmouseover document.all.layername.idname.st... = #blah. its pretty straightforward. there are two buts however. javascript has some problems with uppercase letters in colorcodes (incase you want to check for the color first) and if i remember correctly, then ns 4.7 had some problems with id-s and required name or something suchlike instead. do some googling.

thanks! in the meantime I already figured a way out with the "Set Text Of Layer" behaviour, but the example path you gave helps me a lot, I allready knew you could target html-objects like that (it's called the DOM, right?), but not how...
