HTMLHelp Forums _ Graphics, Flash and Multimedia _ Linking one image to another.

Here is what I want to do, I have two images, by clicking on one the other image will be linked and hopefully replace the first if I get them positioned right. I tried an image as a link but it didn't work like I thought it would, Probably a syntax error. Just to complicate things the second image is also a link to another page.

See the FAQ at http://htmlhelp.com/faq/html/images.html#linked-image on how to link an image. The href can contain the path to another image, only then you can't create alink for that second image.

For the second image to be a link too, you'd better put the image (as a link) in an HTML page and link to that page from the first image.

So I can't do everything I wanted to do with what I have, OK Thanks, I really need to stop staying up at all hours.

Well, that will open the image in the full window. It won't replace the image in the page with another one. For that you need either JavaScript or CSS trickery.

Or you can simply do this:

Already looking into js/css trickery. I found some scripts that might work, but I haven't tried yet.
Thanks for the replies
