No, actually; it could simply be, like what I have,

<img name="image" id="image"
onMouseOver="do***ent.getElementById('image').src='pic1.gif;'"
onMouseOut="do***ent.getElementById('image').src='pic2.gif;'">

Yes, well, it's not "HTML" though it does occur in an HTML tag....

The tech sup****t rep said this morning that I should upload the two
images involved in the image-swap *separately* via *separate* webpages
*each*...apparently, their system isn't recognizing one of them right
now, even though they are both already on their servers!

SBI! has a proprietary way of doing things, related to the SEO
services they provide, and apparently a simple image-swap like what I
have is a consequence of their peculiar way of doing things...!

I wonder if they mean that I should use something like

<img src="http://www.my-website.com/image-files/image.gif">

I don't think so either -- but I don't know enough SEO right now to
know whether I should stick around with SBI! due to their claims of
SEO success.
