I followed along in Jeremy Keith's book "DOM Scripting" on how to make
a image viewer that changes on clicking links.
It is up for demo at: http://jojowebdesign.com/dom1.html
My question is how can I begin to have the tab image for articles go
from articles_current.gif to just articles.gif (turn off the
highlight) when another tab is clicked. And the tab that is clicked
has it's image switched to for example blogs_current.gif (turn on
highlight).
Using the following code framerwork.
<script type="text/javascript">
function showPic(whichpic) {
var source = whichpic.getAttribute("href");
var placeholder = document.getElementById("placeholder");
placeholder.setAttribute("src",source);
var text = whichpic.getAttribute("title");
var description = document.getElementById("description");
description.firstChild.nodeValue = text;
}
</script>
