thumbnails on mouse over

hi all
below is the javascript coding for thumbnails to appear on link mouseover, got it from a tutorial website… it works

perfectly ? BUT my problem iz that the place where i wanna implement it is a blog whose <head> tag is inaccessible; so wat I

did was to try save the codes written in the <head> tag as a javascript file, upload it and link it to my blog (writing

<script language=”JavaScript” SRC=”place uploaded/file.js”></script> in <body>)…
then I just pasted the <body> part of the following code in the <body> of my blog… well it doesn’t work! ? can u tell me

wat I did wrong n how to correct it?

<head>

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>

    yep but it still doesn't work... ? [I]window.onload[/I]? whats the problem with it?
    Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
    @FangApr 10.2006 — If there is more than 1 onload, then only 1 of them will work.

    Can you give a link to the page?
