rollover script

I am makin my own website, but when I entered rollover script for my menu buttons, it doesn't work and gives me an error think on the bottom. What did I do wrong?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>
<html>
<head>
<title>XPLogic</title>
  <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

function doRollover(imageID, imageSource)  {

document.getElementById(imageID).src = imageSource.png;

}

</script>

<body bgcolor="#858585" style="margin-left: 50%; margin-top: 0%; margin-bottom: 0%; 
margin-right: 50%;">

<div id="container" style="position: relative; width: 728px; left: -364px;">

<div id="logo" style="position: absolute; width: 728px; height: 90px; top: 0px; left: 0px;">
<img src="images/bannerad2.png">
</div>

<div id="nav" style="position: absolute; width: 150px; height: 500px; top: 90px; left: 0px; 

background-image: url(images/navbck.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; border-width: 2px;  

border-style: dashed; border-color: #33CC33;">
  <img id="images/buttonhome.png"; src="images/buttonhome.png"; width="150px"; height="41px"; 

onMouseOver="doRollover ('button2', 'images/buttonhome2.png');" onMouseOut="doRollover 

('button', 'images/buttonhome.png');"> 
</div>

<div id="content" style="position: absolute; width: 578px; height: 500px; top: 90px; left: 

150px; background-image: url(images/contentbck.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; border-

width: 2px; border-style: dashed; border-color: #33CC33;">
</div>

<div id="footer" style="position: absolute; width: 728px; height: 20px; top: 590px; 

background-image: url(images/footerbck.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; valign="top">
</div>
</body>
</head>
</html>

I wouldn't be able to help you debug your JS but you can take a look at the script I'm using here :

There's three elements:

1) in the head:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

</script>

2) preload the images in the body tag:

< body bgcolor="#333333" text="#FFFFFF" link="#FFFFFF" vlink="#FFFFFF" alink="#FFFFFF" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/rollovers/homeover.gif')">

3) and the placement of the images:

< a href="home.htm" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('Image4','','images/rollovers/homeover.gif',1)"><img src="images/rollovers/homeup.gif" alt="home" name="Image4" width="54" height="30" border="0"></a>

I had Dreamweaver automate all this, but hopefully it will help - I especially like the preloading as it keeps there from being a lag time when someone "rolls over" the image.
