OK here’s the story...

In the process of making a new website. In fact gonna do bullet points to make it easier.....


• Designed the look/arty style of the website in Fireworks.

• Chopped it into sections/slices for roll over effects.


• All working fine up to now, now here’s the issue.



• Preserved one section/slice which takes up about 65% of the screen which is gonna be where the info comes up depending upon what user has clicked on eg. Home, WOW Factor, Aircraft etc. I will refer to this section/slice as the INFO AREA.

NOTE - This area is a set size with a value 'x'


• I add the graphics which have the html for rollovers for the slices into a table and Dreamweaver arranges those slices into table cells.

Now there is a cell with a size value of 'x'.

• I now add to the cells/images such as Home, WOW Factor, Aircraft etc. the Hotspots (An area which you add an URL to in order for that area to be a link).


• I have created INFO AREA images of size 'x' all headed with either Home, WOW Factor, Aircraft which remain as jpegs. I will refer to these as INFO SHEETS.



NOW HERES THE ISSUE !!!

My Intentions Are...

When any of the hotspots/links are clicked on such as Home, WOW Factor, Aircraft etc. I want only the cell named INFO AREA to change to another INFO SHEET of the relevant hotspot/link (Home, WOW Factor, Aircraft).


SO IN BRIEF...

When you click on HOME the INFO AREA/cell displays the Home INFO SHEET
When you click on WOW FACTOR the INFO AREA/cell displays the WOW FACTOR INFO SHEET
When you click on AIRCRAFT the INFO AREA/cell displays the Home AIRCRAFT SHEET


???????? HOW CAN THIS BE DONE USING FIREWORKS, DREAMWEAVER AND WHATEVER ELSE THAT MAY BE NEEDED ????????

This can be done quite easily with semantic markup and a little css. You have started out the wrong way by slicing in Fireworks and putting things in tables - NOT the way to do it. You have to think content first (using the correct semantic markup) and then apply styling to get the look.

Can you post a pic of what you want to achieve?

Centauri's right. But, if you want a cheap and easy (but not necessarily quality) way of doing it, check out:
