They are actually both not getting "big" at the same time. When you hover over one of the images, it swaps, thus changing the size of the paragraph "box." Since both images are in the same <p> tag, the other image's position is being adjusted as well.

I don't have much experience with image swapping, but I have a few suggestions. First try removing the <p> tag from around the images. See if that at least temporarily fixes it. You could also try doing an align='top' or something similar in a stylesheet (preferably a stylesheet since align is very much deprecated).

Lastly, again I am no expert, but should the onmouseover and onmouseout attributes be in the < img > tag itself and not the < a > tag? Try moving them into the < img > tag.

EDIT: Added spaces to some tags to prevent phpBB parsing them as real HTML.

The both get big but one is smaller and it works visa versa...I think there mite be a problem int he body onload....or the < a > is covering both inmages...look cool though..

couldnt fix it most ways. What I ended up doing was putting each button in its on layer. then it works fine. Decided not to use it in the end though, everyone I showed it to liked the original page better. oh well. thanks guys!
