ImageReady - an alternative to frames???

I am a novice user and I am bulding a new site. I would like to use rollovers in a text navigation menu to display an image (with a hyperlink) on a different part of the page. When a rollover is clicked I would like the image displayed to remain visable until a different rollover is clicked. The problem is that if the user happens rolls over another link the state returns to "normal". Difficult to explain but can anyone help?
Thanks

well, do you know JavaScript?

Thought there might be an easy way around this in ImageReady that I was missing.

don´t use IR, so I don´t know...but with some simple JS it could be done..

Do you have a reference to the javascript that could do this?

Thanks,

Anyone else with ImageReady experience have a solution?

erh, nope... But you would probably have to "document.write(ALL HTML CODE HERE...)" everything... compatibility would be an issue... But that would give you freedom of storing everything into variables, and have the mouseOvers and clicks change the variables... But now thinking of it... It would have to do the document.write() everyTime something was to change... Not very practical.... LOL .... Don´t know.. Don´t listen to me too much... :D

Whoa there!

kre57, ImageReady is a VERY LEGITIMATE way to get around learning javascript simply for rollovers. That's why they made it, actually.

what I would do if I were you, is go ahead build your rollovers in Photoshop, jump to IR, set it all up using the rollover palette. When you get ready to optimize them, be sure you have "Images and Source Code" checked on. Let it optimize and do it's thing... then, go into your HTML Editor and copy and paste the java script IR wrote for you into your pages.

I know the web folks will agree that it's not the cleanest code, but it will get the job done for a novice javascript user. Unless, of course, you WANT to learn java - then, I don't know what to tell you. good luck
