    I have managed to figure out how to create a simple image swap rollover with a 2 img files. 

    <img src="image1.gif" name="pic1" onMouseOver="document.pic1.src='image2.gif'">
    Code (markup):
    but what if I had 3 images that I wanted to cycle through specifically only on Mouseover. I'm really not sure how to accomplish this ??
    I have not been sucessful in finding an example of this.
    any advice would be appreciated

    I wwould suggest you create a .gif animated file containing the 3 images , and put it 'onMouseOver();

    Or you could create aFunction where you would Dynamically change the Image Source after a delay of some milliseconds. Dont forget to put a onMouseOut event if you choose this option

    thanks for the feedback, I could make a gif, but that is not what I am trying to accomplish.
    I would lke to cycle thru 3 seperate images but only onMouseover not onMouseout.
    I was wondering if there was some simple way of doing this

    Dont give mouse onMouseOut, or try giving the same image as onMouseOut so it would not appear changed.

    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=PL_Images.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
