awesome, thanks rhino, i wasn't aware of parallels. i'll give it a try as well and get back to you on it.
to reiterate, what i'm trying to do is be able to have multiple AP divs on a page (represented by the chair images), but only
display one of those divs at a time so that no overlapping occurs.
so if, for example...
http://webspace.ringling.edu/~doverton/test/
...any combination of the chair images were being displayed, you could double click any one of the draggable buttons on the left and that would trigger a fade out of the current image(div) and a fade in of the corresponding button image(div), and
only that image(div). Hope that clarifies further?
thanks again for your help, and happy thanksgiving!
