image in a menu that swaps???

[melstef]

Hello, I don't know how to call this but I'll try explaining. I have an image for my vertical menu on the side.
ex:
test
subject

when I click on test I want this to happen( an other image):

test
test1
test2
test3
subject

I would like it to be in the same page not in a frame and the problem is that this is all images...I thought about a swaping image script of some kind???

How can I do this??? I hope you'll understand
thank you

melstef,

this can be accomplished relatively easily with Javascript. you can ask the kids in the javascript forum for advice, but if you want to just use my code, you're welcome to. (get it while it's hot, i'm about to change the layout of my website!)

You can do it in JavaScript -- but a lot of that code becomes very browser-dependent.

You can make the menu item a link with GET-method data back to the script that produced the page in the first place. It will require that the entire page be reloaded each time, though.

TANSTAAFL!

good point about the browser/javascript thing, sleipnir. pretty much anything that does what melstef wants to do without reloading the page every time is going to require that the browser is set up to handle it (javascript, flash nav bar, etc.).

melstef, maybe you could do some sort of userbase analysis to figure out what the best route would be for your site, if image swap is mission-critical for you. worst case scenario with the javascript thing is that it doesn't swap out the 2nd image on mouseover/click.
