I want to rotate 4 images in 1 layer. How can I change the link (href) also when the image change.

Colin Fraser, Mark Goedhart,


I doubt there is an easy answer to this question, but would it not be 
simpler to put each image on a layer then rotate through the layers 
using the visibility property? However, without going into too much 
detail, try reading the anchors and images into an array then calling 
the array with whatever conditions to display whatever link you want to 
show at what time. 
The real problem is time here, how long will it take to download all the 
images, then scroll through them at the right times and so on. I suspect 
that even with broadband access spreading this will still take too long 
to be a viable proposition.  Another thing to consider is the potential 
for error. The more coding you use the greater the potential for your 
page not to display properly in most browsers, so keeping it simple is 
usually a more viable option. In otherwords, dont get too fancy. One 
alternate is to use an imagemap.
