This javascript is meant for learning language vocabulary, specifically
colours on this example. However, when I use images in the mtWord array,
it breaks when checking for correct answers. It works fine with text in
those spaces.
Direct links to the pages online:
How can I fix this so the functions work with images in that array? It
works fine with a table and appropriately coloured backgrounds, but I
cant get gold and silver that way.
Or nose at teh code pasted below...
