My client would like to rearrange the following page ( so that under Media Center (on the left), there would be a link for Staff Photos and one for Community Photos. Staff Photos will be the default, but if Community Photos is clicked it will be replaced with that feed. The links will be side by side like
Staff Photos | Community Photos.

The feeds for each that are currently there are javascript provided by myCapture.

Ideas on how to go about that? Another hidden layer that replaces the current when clicked? Other suggestions?


Thanks for all advice.

Thanks, southbeach.

The client is keeping mycapture - I just want to be able to swap the layers in place. But the slideshow should be good for some upcoming projects.

Two containers, each with their own set of photos, and some javascript to hide/show the two containers is the easiest option. You might want to add ajax load the content on swap only if there is too much content and loading invisible elements is slowing down your page load.

Thanks, Vragabond. I think I'll end up putting a container layer nested in the black area for the photo feeds and then try to find a swap in place script somewhere. I don't know anything about ajax.

Not a big deal to do

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Swap Layer Content</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<style type="text/css">
.hidden {
  display: none;
 }
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
function SwapLayer(it) {
    var layerID='holdit'+it;
    swapTo=document.getElementById(layerID).innerHTML;
    document.getElementById('showHere').innerHTML=swapTo;
    if (it == 1) document.getElementById('swapBTN').innerHTML='<input name="swapthem" type="button" onclick="SwapLayer(2);" value="Show Photos 2" />';
    if (it == 2) document.getElementById('swapBTN').innerHTML='<input name="swapthem" type="button" onclick="SwapLayer(1);" value="Show Photos 1" />';
 }
</script>

</head>

<body>
<div id="showHere">default photos</div>

<div id="holdit1" class="hidden">photo set 1</div>
<div id="holdit2" class="hidden">photo set 2</div>


<span id="swapBTN"><input name="swapthem" type="button" onclick="SwapLayer(2);" value="Show Photos 2" /></span>

</body>
</html>

I think you will find all that you will need here. Of course, it is a matter of putting the code in the right place but I trust you already know that.

Putting up? Are you kidding? I have two teenagers ... I come in here to unwind and relax myself. [smile]

Thanks for the star!

Ahh, the joys. I just have a whiny dog. Try typing with a 30 pound Sheltie on your lap.[bigsmile]

I always give my thanks - manners are important.

Thanks again,
