You did not mention which DTD / HTML version you're using, so I'll guess
HTML 4.0; <img> does not have a "name" attribute there (it does in
4.01).  Anyway, a better choice might be the "id" attribute.  See
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#adef-name-IMG

(Or depending on exactly what you want to do, it might be possible to
skip the id/name issue altogether in the rollovers, using something like
<img src="..." onmouseover="this.src='...'" onmouseout="this.src='...'">
but that's off topic on this list :)
