I not an experience programmer, but as I have surfed the web for
tips and tricks I have found a few sites the do mouseover in
Javascript (www.inforhiway.com/javascript/index.htm,
www.wsabstract.com, and
hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/index.html). You can use these
scripts within vbscripts and they should work.

Sorry for the necro bump of times past, but I was browsing the active topics list and saw a couple people on this.

There are a variety of methods for mouseover effects in html/hta pages. perhaps the BEST way to do it is using CSS vice vbscript:

Lets say I'm using a div tag as such:

<div id="myPicture"></div>

In my css at the top of the page (between <head> and </head>) I would have this:

<style type="text/css">

#myPicture{
background:url(mypic.jpg);
}
#myPicture:hover{
background:url(anotherPic.jpg);
}

</style>

So a sample page would look like this:

Note: I assume you have at least IE7 installed for this and have a valid doctype at the top of your page. If you do not, you have to use an <a> tag for this effect since instead of <div> IE6 is buggy in this regard.

For those who would prefer a vbscript solution, it would work as such:

<img src="foo.jpg" onmouseover="this.src='bar.jpg'" onmouseout="this.src='foo.jpg'" />

One of the numerous reasons I don't suggest this method (beside aesthetics) is the possibility of memory leaks occurring.

Edit: Bug fix, and added a working sample
