<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Richard,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've just joined this list, and was looking through it
when i came over your email. have you sorted it out yet?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>this might help, if you haven't. I like to use it for
mouseover effects:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>function
showLayer(layerID){<BR> document.getElementById(layerID).style.visibility="visible";<BR>}<BR>
<BR>function
hideLayer(layerID){<BR> document.getElementById(layerID).style.visibility="hidden";<BR>}<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(layerID is the div's id) initially set the div
with style="...;visibility:hidden;", it works fine on my ie6 and
ns7</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The short script is shown below.<BR>I have a basic layout
of 2 columns.<BR>Column 1 on the left for the main menu.<BR>Column 2 is split in
two parts.<BR><BR>When an item is clicked on in column 1, column 2a shows the
thumbnails.<BR>Consider this a form of image swapping but for text.<BR>What I
would like to do now is, to incorporate a means when a thumbnail is<BR>clicked
on, a large image is shown below that along with a description.<BR>So far, using
the bare bones image swapping works fine, but no descriptions.<BR>Not to mention
being cumbersome and adding a lot of useless duplicated<BR>script.<BR><BR>I have
tried simply renaming the vairables, in a second script, which
almost<BR>works.<BR>But all that does is, replace the "FirstOn" item which
destroys the<BR>thumbnails.<BR>I need to maintain the thumbnails in
place.<BR>For a working demo of my inquiry see
www.somestuff.batcave.net/menu1.html<BR><BR><BR>var kid = "FirstOn"<BR>function
ShowInfo(DivId)<BR> {<BR> document.getElementById(kid).style.display
= 'none';<BR> document.getElementById(DivId).style.display =
'block';<BR> kid = DivId;<BR> }<BR></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
