Images getting me down!

[Heather]

Hi everybody! Before you pass judgement on me as being java incompetent,
I will explain my problem.
I'm trying to create an interface for a webpage where you move the mouse
cursor over a certain image, and it
changes the image of another picture. (Not the same one, I can do that at
least)
I'm new to java and javascript, but I do know c++ (so the syntax is bugging
me)
Any help to this question would save me lots and lots of mental anguish!

Thank you!

- Heather

Hi Heather,
I'm not an expert on this stuff either, but I just finished doing what you're
asking about on
a site I did for a friend using Javascript. First of all, let me direct
you to Dr. Joe Burn's
htmlgoodies.com (there's also a javagoodies.com). Look for a tutorial on
image flips or
double-image flips.

Besides that, what I did was define a image map for a navigation pane. When
a user's mouse goes
over one of the "mapped" areas on the pane, the image in the middle of the
screen changes.
To do this, first define an image map <MAP Name="myMap">
Next map the area...

<AREA SHAPE=RECT COORDS="61,0,120,20" HREF="history/index.html"
onMouseOver="document.images[8].src='history.jpg';"
onMouseOut="document.images[8].src='fellowship.jpg';"
>

Sorry if you already know about all that. The only other thing is notice
the events..."document.images[8].src....."
There's probably a better way to do this, but this works. Everytime you
put a component or an image on a
page, it's stored in an array. So, you can access the image you want by
figuring out what index # it is in
the document's array. Then just change the source.
Hope this is of some help
