image swap works only once in Safari

Please take a look at this example: [url]http://www.mojamatize.com/swap/index_safari.html[/url]

After clicking the link, the text box will scroll into position and then the preload() function on line 27 is called. A new image is created (red.gif). Then the current image (blue.gif) is supposed to be replaced by that new image using the changeImage() function (on lines 18-24).

This works fine on (Mac) IE5 and on NS7 upon first activation and still works if you refresh the page..

On Safari however, the process only works upon opening a new window, not after repeated refreshes.

I’ve even checked the source of the image with javascript:alert(document[‘sp1’].src) in the address box and it tells me that the image is red.gif but blue.gif is still showing. No visible change.

Obviously it doesn’t like the code or it’s just a lazy browser. Any suggestions for helping it actually change to the red.gif?

thanks,

Brad
