A simple javascript question...pic loading

brianb

Hello,

I'm looking to accomplish a simple picture loading script. Should be pretty easy, and any help is appreciated, considering I don't even know where to start.

I'm looking to have say 5 links on a page. Just as well, there is 1 picture spot on the page.

These 5 links, when any of them are clicked, load the corresponding picture into the picture box.

Make sense? Nothing is preloaded, just loaded when one of the links is clicked, and then the picture loads into the picture spot.

All help is deeply appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

no idea... but then this is a PHP board, not a javascript one. why not try http://forums.webdeveloper.com/index.php?s= - tell them i sent you.

You could use the HTML IFrame.

Like
Main window:

And in main window have links like

picturefile.php


<?
if (isset($_REQUEST['pic'])) {
    echo "<img src=\"".$_REQUEST['pic']."\">";

}
else {
    echo "waiting for file";
}
?>

I guess your could do it without Iframe but then you'll need preloading.

else look at Dynamic Duo, I know they have come up with loading external URL into CSS layers
