Mozilla vs IE

[SGN Craig]

I'm a new to Javascript. My code works in IE but not in Mozilla. I'd like
the page to work in both. I looked around on the web but couldn't find any
site that explained how to do this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javas cript">
function highlightButton (s)
{
if ("A"==event.src Element.tagName )
event.srcElemen t.className=s;
}
</SCRIPT>
...
...
<span onMouseover="hi ghlightButton(' dynalinkH')"
onMouseout="hig hlightButton('d ynalink')">

Now, I'm trying to change the tags CSS from dynalink to dynalinkH when the
mouse is moved over the tag. From research online I know that I need to
somehow pass the event into my function for mozilla to work. But I can't
find an example and don't know how to do it.

Could someone give me a simple example on how to use events in my function
with mozilla?

Thanks for any assistance.

<script type="text/javascript">
function highlightButton (s,evt) {
var tgt = evt.target || evt.srcElement; // Correct or IE
if (tgt.tagName == "A") {
tgt.className=" s";
}
}
</script>

<span onmouseover="hi ghlightButton(' dynalinkH',even t);"
onmouseout="hig hlightButton('d ynalink',event) ;">


You problem is that IE doesn't pass events as other browsers, and
instead has a global variable called "event". You try to access that
global variable, and ofcourse it only works in IE.

Also, IE uses the property "srcElement " for the object that triggered
the event, where the DOM standard uses "target".
