Load $_self with rollover image

Lauj

Is there a way to use a rollover menu to do a $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and also send along a hidden value that tells me which rollover menu button was click by a user?

Below is my rollover menu button codes generated in Adobe Image Ready.

		<table id="Table_01" width="165" height="35" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
			<tr>
				<td>
					<img name="galleryMenus_01" src="images/galleryMenus_01.gif" width="165" height="35" border="0" alt="" usemap="#galleryMenus_01_Map"></td>
			</tr>
		</table>
		<map name="galleryMenus_01_Map">
		<area shape="rect" alt="" coords="0,0,86,34" href="#"
			onmouseover="toggleImages('Current', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Archived_ov.gif'), '', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Archived-05.gif')); return true;"
			onmouseout="toggleImages('Archived', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Archived-05.gif'), 'Current', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Current_-04.gif'), '', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01.gif')); return true;"
			onmouseup="selected='Archived'; changeImages('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Archived-05.gif'); return true;">
		<area shape="rect" alt="" coords="78,0,164,34" href="#"
			onmouseover="toggleImages('Archived', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Current_ove.gif'), '', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Current_-04.gif')); return true;"
			onmouseout="toggleImages('Archived', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Archived-05.gif'), 'Current', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Current_-04.gif'), '', new Array('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01.gif')); return true;"
			onmouseup="selected='Current'; changeImages('galleryMenus_01', 'images/galleryMenus_01-Current_-04.gif'); return true;">
		</map>

What I'm trying to do is creating a rollover menu buttons or tabs that according to which menu button it was clicked, a table with data from the MySQL database will show up on that same page.

Any help is gratefuly.

do you mean you want to automatically display the table as the mouse is rolled over the option without refreshing the page?

Or herhaps anyone can show me how to use a hyper link that will send a value showing which button it was clicked.

Many thanks for your response. No. When the mouse click on the menu button, the page is refresh at the same time I like to know which menu button that is was clicked so I can determine what data to be displayed on the table after the refresh. I have tried this:
<area shape="rect" alt="" coords="0,0,86,34" href=\"<?PHP echo $self?mnuArchived="Archived"\ ?>"

but it's not working. And yes, I did declared $self = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF']; before I use.

And by the way, instead of href do you think it's possible to implement a onClick() with the same function....meaing refresh the page and also pass along a variable?

<area shape="rect" alt="" coords="0,0,86,34" href="<?PHP echo $self ?>?mnuArchived=Archived">

Many thanks for the help. But is there a way to implement an onClick() on this? By using href, the menu button select state is not working.

You're drifting away from PHP and into Javascript programming here; so a Javascript forum is more likely to contain a larger amount of relevant expertise. I for one don't know off-hand whether you can attach onClick= attributes to <area> tags or not, and right now I'm not about to start trying anything. Feel free to experiment on your own behalf, however.
