I would like to have a link in a menu that when pointed to - not clicked
on - will change a graphic elsewhere on the page. Kind of like a hover
effect, except that the graphic that is changed is not what is pointed
at, but another graphic.

When moving off the hyper link, the graphic should change back to the
original.

Clicking the hyper link takes you to the link, of course.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help,
Harvey
 
The KEY word here is...
Disjointed rollover

ave a look at
http://www.wmich.edu/itc/tutorials/dreamweaver/advanced/rollover.html

This can also be done with CSS - Some samples here (site not fully done yet)
http://pmob.co.uk/
Just use the view source to see the CSS

For more information please Google "Disjointed rollover"

This looks like exactly what I want, except I cannot follow the
instructions past #3:

I quote -
For Image-1, set the location on the General tab to javascript:;

I don't have location, I have 'Picture Source' and if you set it to
"javascript:;", the image of course disappears.

Then the instructions say

"5. On the menu, View -> Task Pane. Change the pane to Behaviors in the
Task Pane dropdown menu."

I do not have "Behaviors", just 'New Web Page', 'Clipboard' and
'Search'. This is where I gave up.

Perhaps I have an older version of FP? - I am using 2002. Is this the
problem?

Thanks,
Harvey

Thank you, Tom. I will do some reading.

BTW - the first reference you provide appears to be for Dreamweaver. The
second looks promising, though I prefer not having to go with CSS at
this point. A Google search comes up with many hits, I just didn't know
what this was called.

Thanks,

Yes. The instructions are for FP2003.
However, you should be able to copy the JavaScript from the <head>
section of that page, and follow the HTML in HTML view.
