There are several problems with your Jscript (as opposed to Javascript:
your code is *not* standard Javascript, as you likely know). First, you're
defining the same pair of functions twice, when you should only define
them once; and that (duplicated) pair of functions tells the browser:
"Change the background color of table cells, in a single row, of a single
table that has the ID of 'toolbar'."
However, your code has *two* tables with the ID 'toolbar', one with a
single row and the other with several rows. This simply won't work. You
need to either define a second set of functions for the second table, with
a different ID specified, or define a single set where the ID is a variable,
not hard-coded into the function. Either option gets complicated to
explain, and in any case I don't use Microsoft's proprietary take on
Javascript so I'm not up to speed on it.
And this code will not work period in Netscape, because it uses various
kinds of proprietary MS properties and event handlers.
I would *strongly* recommend starting over with a generic, cross-browser
image-rollover script, rather than using code designed to work in one
context in one version of one browser only.
And yes, as noted in your code comment, your CSS stuff is MS-proprietary
too. There's no such thing as 'A:hover' in the specs. 'hover' is a rather
nonsensical property in any case, because it produces the same effect as
the 'onMouseover' event handler. The proper syntax to set link properties
is A:link { foo }, A:visited { foo }, and so on.
