help with onmouse

[MDanz]

echo "<div style='display:none;' name='advertisement'>$image
              </div>"; 

<a href='$adz' style='text-decoration: none'; onmouseover=\"GetNames($id)\">$usern</a>


<script type="text/javascript">

function GetNames(id)

{
var newtext2 = document.getElementByName("advertisement").innerHTML;

document.getElementById('adver').style.backgroundImage = "url("+newtext2+")";
}

</script>

 

<textarea name="adver" id="adver" cols="16" rows="13"  readonly="readonly" ></textarea>

 

the $image should appear in the text area, where did i go wrong in my code?

Without seeing where $id comes from or what element has an id of 'advertisement', I'm guessing it has something to do with you never actually using the id you pass to the event handler.
