Web Design question with Fireworks

[Informant X]

I'm trying to design my father a webpage with fireworks. I'm not an advanced user in fireworks so please try to dumb explanations down. With that said I have a question about webslices in fireworks. Let me show by example

http://www.albany.edu/~ct2267/isp361/fireworks1.html

That is a page I made for class. When you mouse over the menu on the side, it swaps in the new image from the webslice, and then when you click it links to the webpage. Well instead of having it show the new webslice when you mouse over it, i want it to show the slice when you click the hotspot and have the new slice stay there until you click somewhere else? Know what I mean???

Does anybody remember that AOL standalone HTML editor? I forget what it was called. You should use that. Came out in like 96 or so.

What i basically want it to do is show the webslice when you click the hotspot instead of showing the webslice only when you mouse over the hotspot.

yes i understand....you want the slice to be the image on the downclick when you get to that page. Instead of loading the slice in the new page....just change the code to load the downclick image instead of the original image.

I think I see what your getting at. This is the actual code for the image swap on mouse over...

<a href="#" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore();" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('homepage_r2_c7','','images/homepage_r2_c7_f2.gif',1)
"><img name="homepage_r3_c3" src="images/homepage_r3_c3.gif" width="99" height="35" border="0" alt=""></a>


So I would need to change the "onMouseOver" to downclick? Is that the exact thing I should change it to? Wouldn't I need to remove the "onMouseOut" thing to tho?

onMouseClick, then in the new page you want to load "images/homepage_r2_c7_f2.gif" instead of "images/homepage_r3_c3.gif"

and yes, you'd remove the onMouseOut

Edit: that's assuming you're going to a new page. If you're not going to change the link to go to a new page, you don't have to mess with your image references, but it doesn't look like it'd be very functional, just an image swap on click.

I tried changing it to onMouseClick, and it dont' even work at all?

[Informant X]

Nah i don't know a Ryan S. Guess this is not going to work, guess i'll just have to make it pop-up in a new window.

what the hell is a "webslice" .... or "hotspot" .... I guess that's what I get for not using fancy programs like Fireworks, and doing everything by hand....
