onMouseOver problems...
Howdy all... First timer on HTML and JavaScript, so forgive me for any stupid questions, but this one has both myself and my teacher baffled.
I have a page on Microsoft FrontPage, and when the page loads, it starts a clock in a text box. No biggy. Our problem is that we want the user to be able to move their mouse over a line of text and the window.status becomes the day of the week. It keeps telling us that my variable is undefined, and we don't know enough about function declarations to solve it on our own. Can anyone help me?

post your code please.

Here goes...
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Current Time</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 3.0">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function startclock(dayofweek)
{
var thetime=new Date();
var nday=thetime.getDay();
var nhours=thetime.getHours();
var nmins=thetime.getMinutes();
var nsecn=thetime.getSeconds();
var AorP=" ";
if (nhours>=12)
AorP="P.M.";
else
AorP="A.M.";
if (nhours>=13)
nhours-=12;
if (nhours==0)
nhours=12;
if (nsecn<10)
nsecn="0"+nsecn;
if (nmins<10)
nmins="0"+nmins;
if (nday==0)
nday="Sunday";
if (nday==1)
nday="Monday";
if (nday==2)
nday="Tuesday";
if (nday==3)
nday="Wednesday";
if (nday==4)
nday="Thursday";
if (nday==5)
nday="Friday";
if (nday==6)
nday="Saturday";
dayofweek=nday
return dayofweek
document.clockform.clockspot.value=nday+", "+nhours+":"+nmins+":"+nsecn+" "+AorP;
setTimeout('startclock()',1000);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<script language="JavaScript">
</script>
<body onLoad="startclock(dayofweek)">
<a HREF="http://www.google.com" onMouseover="window.status=dayofweek; return true">**********
<form name="clockform">
<p>Current Time: <input TYPE="text" name="clockspot" size="15"></p>
</form>
<p>Place your mouse here!</a> </p>

</body>

Here's the code for DayOfTheWeek:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function DayOfTheWeek() {
now = new Date()
day = now.getDay()
days_array = new Array("Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday")
day = days_array[day-1] //I'm not sure about this line, it works today but try it again on monday
window.status = day
}
</script>
Call it like this:
Code:
<a href="#" onMouseOver="DayOfTheWeek()" onMouseOut="window.status=''">Move mouse here to see the day of the week.</a>
This function shouldn't have anything to do with the clock as yours seemed to do.
If you've managed to mess up your clock script, you can find plenty online, try either here or www.js-x.com
