Loading pictures into a table in same webpage

[Lauj]

I need help on loading some photos to the same webpage. Here's what I'm trying to do. I want to be able to choose photo groups from a drop down list and display the selected photo group in a table in the same page instead of loading another page that contains the selected photo group. I was thinking of puting the photo name in a a database and loading it from there but then that was too difficult and I don't have that many photos to use the power of a database. So I think there must be some way to use PHP to do what I wanted to do. The problem is I have not used PHP to do this kind of things before. Will anyone help me please?

Many thanks in advance!

to do this you would have to send all the images to the client at one time...and images are a heavy load (esp on dial-up)...

you then need some way to manipulate the images, either by storing them in layers and showing those layers when choosen from the drop down

you could use some javascript to open a new window but this is essentially what you are doing right now anyway
