I changed the front page of my website, adding some rollover images. You should see "S.L. Farrell", "Stephen Leigh", and "Matthew Farrell" just below the farrellworlds banner; if you mouse over the names, images of related book covers should appear below (you can also click on the rollover images to go to the various 'author' areas.)

It works perfectly in Safari on my Macintosh, but doesn't seem to function in Firefox, which only gives me a strange text rollover with no images appearing below the names. If you run a Windows machine using IE, Firefox, and/or Safari, or a Linux box, I'd appreciate knowing if the rollovers appear or not... It may be I'll need to adjust something, or go back to the old homepage entirely if I can't get the rollovers to function in enough browsers and OS's.

Let me know what you see! Thanks.

EDITED TO ADD: I changed the rollover images from .tiff to .jpg files, and now it works in both Safari and Firefox. I assume this may have fixed the issue with all browsers. It, of course, doesn't answer the question of whether I should have any rollovers at all... :-)

Response (filthy pictures) emailed. It doesn't work here the way you describe in IE 8, Firefox, or Google Chrome.

Works fine in Safari.

THanks for taking the time to e-mail the pics, Larry. It was the "missing graphic" icon in IE that got me wondering whether it was the fact that the rollovers were TIFF files -- Safari seems to handle TIFFs just fine, but everything else just sticks out their virtual tongues at them. I changed 'em to JPG and they seem to work now (at least in Firefox on Macintosh).
