I think anyone who understands AOL's billions of browser configurations
deserves a medal. My experience has been that javascript rollovers will not
work on ANY version of AOL's built-in web browser (which usually shows up
as IE 3.0 on browser detect scripts). A friend, however, has said that he
does see rollovers working on his version of AOL, but I can't verify that.
