Dreamweaver: link within the page. Help please

[WTB]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to set up a photo album website and I have the following doubt:

I have three sections within one very page: one column on the left with small pictures acting as menu, then the main frame in the right where the picture's displayed in full size, and a small text box at the bottom.

How can I do it with Dreamweaver so, when the user rolls the mouse over a small picture, the full sized picture is shown in the central main frame and, at the same time, a small descriptive text is displayed in the text box down below?

On top of that, if in stead of a mouse-over routine, I want to do the very same thing but clicking on the small picture instead, how would I do that?

Thanks a lot guys for helping a newbie out!

The mouseover large picture can only be done in javascript, I think. Not specifically a Dreamweaver problem, really. As for the link when you click the picture - select the thumbnail image in the design window, then drop in a hyperlink to the larger image just as you would with text. You can control the size of the window being opened with javascript.

Thanks for the quick asnwer.

About the click link to the larger picture, the thing is that I dont want the website to reload the entire page, but rather only the right part of the page where the main larger picture frame is placed, plus the text box below.

Any ideas?

PS: as far as the rollover java script, do you know where could I get it since I am a newbie? Thanks!

I think you'd be best asking in the javascript section about the rollover thing. I use very little javascript, because of accessibility issues. FWIW, I would have thought you could use something like this (http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/tips/html/42.php3) - with one image being your thumbnail, and the second being your large image.

As for frames, I don't use those either - partly personal preference, and partly because I have some search engine and accessibility worries about them. But I should think someone who can help you with that may well heave into view, soon.

Hey Kiwi, that link was exactly what I was looking for man. Thanks a lot!

Now I only need to find out how to do the same thing but with a text inside the text box instead of a large picture showing up upon mouse rollover.

Any idea?
