How easy is this

I'm fairly new to php but I know It's done a lot just not sure how, I want to do a classic image swap on rollover but from a recordset. I have list of artist names from database and on rollover name link I want to show the image form that artist in the image box next to list, then on click will just go to detail page as usual. Is this somthing that done easy enough with datassist and dreamweaver, Or will it take a bit of hand coding, I tried googling but I must not be saying it right, any ideas?

You would do it by hand with a little bit of javascript.

It sounds like you want to show an image associated with a rollover of the name... most likely you would add an onmouseover="" javascript link to the <a> tag that you have linked and have code that updates the image src.

The code might look like:

<a href="yourpage.php?artist=<?php echo($row_rs['artist_id']); ?>" onmouseover="document.getElementById('imageid').src = '<?php echo($row_rs['artist_image_location]); ?>'"><?php echo($row_rs['artist_name']); ?></a>

Thanks Ray! I'll play around with that. Ya I will have a page that will list the artist names in a repeat region and will show one image on the page about like a detail page size, then as the link is moused over the detail image will show that artists image on the page, but then clicked will go off to detail page for that artist with image and bio and such

I'm not sure if I got the concept yet I started playing with this with no avail.
do i need to have the image come from the same recordset as the list of names or different. I tried both but I'm not getting it right.
if I use the get element by id in the link haw do I call it in the image to filter it.
any more Ideas?

the idea is that you have an image tag with an id set up like:

<img src="blankimage.jpg" id="imageid" />

then in the link, you use the onmouseover event to reset the src attribute of the image tag:

onmouseover="document.getElementById('imageid').src = '<?php echo($row_rs['artist_image_location]); ?>'


the image should be coming from the same recordset as the names

If you send a link where i can see what you have tried and a copy of the page so i can see the code, i can probably tell what is not being set up correctly.

Thanks Jason!
Attached will be the page.
I'm sure I just got some syntax wrong. I need the link on hove to show the picture associated with that artist name which is being hovered and on click it goes to detail page all works except fpr that hover swap.

you have the image source set to use the artist picture already:

<img src="uploads/<?php echo $row_rsartistlist['artist_pict']; ?>" name="imageid" width="300" class="rightimmain" id="imageid" />


it is usiong the same image as the mouseover code:
onmouseover="document.getElementById('imageid').src = '<?php echo $row_rsartistlist['artist_pict']; ?>',1)"


the mouse over is just swapping it with the same image

I changed it to just a static image and still nothing, no swap is happening, do I need some extra java code do do this? I do have a swap image on the page already using static images farther down on the page, in a div that is being included. Is there some conflct here do I neesd extra java code in head for my new swap or is it using the code already there?
If you need any more of those files let me know.
