Anyone know how to

[ChasDevlin]

Hi,

Trying to find a script (DHTML or JavaScript) to enable text to appear in one place via a clicked thumbnail image (in an iFrame).

I think I can create an empty div tag where I want the text caption to be:

ex :

then: add an extra js function to my thumbnail onClick
ex : onclick="showText('captio n','lorem ipsum blah blah')"

but I have no idea how to write the actual showText javascript function to perform a document.write

Does anyone know how to do this? Any help is appreciated! The test site is up at:

Cheers :)

<!-- ************ start photo caption -->
<tr>
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#F5F5F5" id="textCaption"><b>TEXT SHOULD APPEAR HERE WHEN CLICKING ANY THUMBNAIL IN iFRAME (on RIGHT)...</b></td>
</tr>
<!-- ************ end photo caption -->



function myClick(img) {
parent.hold.src = "gfx/" + img;
parent.textCaption.innerHTML=img;
// alert (parent.hold.document.hold.src);
}


i think this will work, if you know where to put it.

Hey Joe,

Cheers for the reply. Put the code in but still not working, I'm sure I'm missing one vital piece. If you have time, please take a look at the page(s) again. Very much appreciated...

Not sure my initial thing was right...

hey joe,

actually, since that last post, i got it to work with a very similar script -- albeit without the div bit. it took a while for me to keep hacking away (during work!) and make it all connect .

anyway, cheers for help. very much appreciated.
