[jQuery] Re: how to preserve the image that was there when I roll over

[A13thGuest]

you may be able to cache the images to get what you want
here's an untested crack at it, hopefully it will get you close:

<img class='myClass' myAltImage='imgYellow.src' src='images/
Green.gif' />

$(document).ready(function(){
    imgGreen = new Image(15,15);
    imgGreen.src = 'images/Green.gif';
    imgYellow = new Image(15,15);
    imgYellow.src = 'images/Yellow.gif';

    //set the default image (if not already done in your html)
    $('.myClass).attr('src', imgGreen.src);

    // toggle to yellow on hover and back to green when move the mouse
off the element
    $('.myClass').hover(function(){
        $(this).attr('src', $(this).attr('myAltImage') );
    },function(){
        $(this).attr('src', imgGreen.src);
    });
});
