Been off this list for ages, as I've not done any of this kind of work for some 
time. As a consequence I'm a bit rusty...

OK, an explanation of what I'm trying to do. I have a <div> which consists of a 
row of three nested <div>s inside each of which are various elements, including 
links. The client wants this whole row of three to crossfade with a different 
set of three at regular intervals (I'm using 3 seconds with a two second fade 
time for testing purposes). They also want the crossfading to pause when the 
mouse is rolled over anywhere in the whole set of three, and resume on mouseout.

I have two empty enclosing <div>s in the html page, pinned to the same spot 
with css. I use a Periodical Executer to do an Effect.fade() and 
Effect.appear() to crossfade them. This all works fine, but with the 
mouseover/-out part all hell can break loose!

I first tried it with a simple pair of boxes, one green saying 'Hello' and one 
blue saying 'Goodbye', and this worked perfectly, but with the more complex 
version I'm running into what I think must be bubbling problems - and this is 
where I get a bit out of my depth, I'm afraid. I /think/ what's happening is 
that when you roll the mouse over various elements inside the <div> JS thinks 
it's mousing out and over repeatedly, so the animation goes nuts and at times 
disappears altogether. If you simply roll over one of the images, then straight 
out of the whole enclosing <div> again, on the other hand, the pause and resume 
works fine.

It could well be that I'm approaching this completely the wrong way...
