Calling javascript with a href in firefox?
I have a page on my website where I use a javascript when a link is clicked to make sure a checkbox is checked before moving on. This code:
<a href="javascript:validate(terms);" onmouseover="image1.src=loadImage1.src;" onmouseout="image1.src=staticImage1.src;"><img src="images/Download1.gif" img name="image1" border=0></a>
works great in Opera and IE, but not in Firefox. Can anyone help me?
This code goes where the "..." is showing: "><img
I've tried all that you said and it still works fine in Opera and IE, but when I click on the image in Firefox it just doesn't seem to run the script.

You did not close the img tag. Note in valid xhtml it should close itself with /> with a space before the /> If that does not fix your problem, you may want to switch to onclick instead of the href in the a tag , or try moving the mouseout and mouseovers into the img tag.
Also try in the a tag leaving the ; off after the function in the href
Also in the img tag your - img name= is wrong , as the img tag in valid xhtml does not use name= or img name= it does use id= or class=
Added: Please post a link to the page, perhaps I can check it out further. Or e-mail me (unblock yours) with the entire page and script, perhaps the problem is elsewhere? A link would be preferred and I would be glad to try and help further!
