h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hiya, what exactly are you trying to do?
I can guess that when the mouse goes over the picture of the exploding star type thingy you want a piece of tunes to play?
Try putting the onmouseover and onmouseout commands actually in with the image tags rather than as a seperate link around the outside of them. Also, where's the tune?
You've got some nice numbers in the variable brackets of the mouse commands but what do they mean? I'm afraid that's all giberish to me. If you're linking to an external music or sound file then you'll need to let your functions know where they are, I'm afraid I couldn't find them. If you are linking to a sound file then if you let me know where it is I'll have a play with it for you. The easiest way then is to use the mouseover command and the document.open (?) or is it file.open? I can never remember, command to then link straight to the wav or whatever file. Most browsers handle them automaticaly nowadays.
If you need any more help then just ask.

Well, pastey, basically, i'ts mostly gibberish to me to, although there are references to what the sounds mean, and it all works fine on shazze's non-h2g2 page, I'm just trying to bring it over here.
I'm making a pig's ear of it.
I'm trying to look for bugs, but, can't really find them.
The only thing i can see wrong is that it can't find the referenced 'applet'.
Anyway. Maybe you can help with something.... As i'm not really all that good with java(script).

yes,please Pastey I am being a complete dodo with this!!
I have the wav file... but can't work out the URL for it when it's up on my other site!!

Look at http://nccnet.co.uk/~shazz/page_14x.htm to see what i'm trying to accomplish.

okay, sorry, that's
http://nccnet.co.uk/~shazz/Page_14x.html
sorry.

arghhhhh!!!! The proxy(poxy) server can't get in there!!!

ok MM..there doesn't seem to be any sound on there now!!

ok..I think 8 hours is enough for anyone!! The sound is on the bowling site ok..but maybe it should just stay there LOL I could always devote a whole page to just the sound..and see if that works!
Thanks for all the assistance MM..and sorry for cluttering up your
pages Et

No sound? on your pluto page on your non-h2g2 site? I'm getting sound.
Are your speakers switched on, perchance?

hehehe..yes..sorry..I corrected myself The sound is there ok!!

oh yes, silly me, i didn't see the other post....

I think I'll have to start a new posting on my page called *MM is a genius*...this page is taking too long to load now LOL...sorry Et

Ahh, shucks....

I find it so difficult to take praise....

Well you better get used to blushing then ))

Stop ignoring me! TRY and talk to me! And shut up about all this I don't understand! I hate you, and I AM gonna sulk.

Had a look at both your sites and here's what I can come up with.
You are using a webpage generator that seems to give everything like paragraphs and image files and sound files a code that it can refer to rather than using it's name. It makes it a lot harder for people to rip of your source files, but bloody difficult to debug. This generator has coded the location of the sound file and without the decoder on the h2g2 site it isn't likely to work. The easiest way around this is to find out where this sound file has gone. Either that or load it onto the internet yourself, and then refer to it seperately. That silly string of numbers and letters in the brackets after the javascript call is the variable that the javascript works with for that function, that is what it is trying to load, and there is no definition for it anywhere. Rather than spending hours trying to debug what is a reasonably complex script (clearly written though it may be) I would strongly suggest finding the url for the sound file. Believe me, it will be easier. If you do find it then let me know, if not let me know anyway and I try and find something similar for you, perchance do you know where you got the sound from originally?

Right, so if i load the sound file onto my webspace, i can put the URL into the brackets, and that should work? right? okay, i'll try that, Shazz, send over the file's next time you see me.
Thanx Pastey, we owe you one.

So break me, shake me, hate me, take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone.

PS:I bought the SG album. It's cool!
PPS:Sorry to ignore you, I'm just trying to get to know some people and Et is helping me.

Yes..thanx Pastey I think that MM is getting there now!
I have sent him the wav file as we speak

Sorry I was so long in replying but I actually had some work to do, can you believe it? I've tried putting the direct link for the sound file in and strangly enough it didn't work.
Now I've got a day or two spare I'll have another look at it and see if I can come up with a bit more simple a script.
