[SOLVED] Changing pictures on same page

[R8515198]

Good evening,

how do i go about changing a picture on a page without the page having to reload.

For example, you have a shirt, same design 5 different colours, you want to display 1 on the page but have a button on the page that changes the colour. Not to select a colour just to move to the next colour.

Any help will be greatful

Cheers

Dan

this would require JavaScript. I'm sure someone can recommend a script.

ok, this should work

put this in your head section

Code: Select all

<script type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
  var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
    var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
    if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}

function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
  var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}

function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
  var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
   if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
}
//-->
</script>

then in your html you need the following to identify the main image (before the rollover swap)

Code: Select all

<img width="350" height="350" id="thisimagename" name="thisimagename" src="/images/image1.gif"/>

changing the id and name to whatever you want.

then for each link option (green, red, etc) you need the following

Code: Select all

<a onmouseover="MM_swapImage('thisimagename','','/images/image1red.gif',1)" href="javascript:;"><img width="15" height="15" border="0" src="/images/image1red_icon.gif"/> RED </a>

the blue indicates the image you want to swap it to.

let me know if that helps, and post a link once you have implemented it so that we can have a look.

cool, would be interested to see how you implement this.

[welshstew]

just looking to buy some new threads when I came across meatandcheese who are doing the same thing but in a slightly different way. you can just *borrow* their code if you want

Done it,

Cheers for the assitance, have a look around the website if you wish still underconstruction. Its just a personal one.
