2. forms have associated events
   
   <Form id="form1" name="form1" onSubmit = "return checkForm()" METHOD=POST ACTION="somepage.asp">
   
   <input type="text" name="fullName" size=55>
   
   </form>

   <Form id="form1" name="form1" METHOD=POST ACTION="somepage.asp">
   
   <input type="text" name="fullName" size=55>

   </form>
   

1. Three options to link javascript to text or an image
1. Using events on text or an image
   
   <a href="#" onMouseOver = "swaptwoLayers('clickPop','dollsLayer' )" > Click here</a>
   
   
2. Javascript reference inside the href link
   
   <a href="javascript:openWindow()" >Click here</a>
   
   
3. **Put the script inline -- right there
   
   <a href="#" onMouseOver = "document.images['homeButton'].src='dim.gif'" > Click here</a>
   
   **on these two bottom examples -- note the nested quotes - single quotes inside, double quotes outside it doesn't matter if you use single quotes outside, but then you must use double quotes inside
