Hi I'm a noob at Java script but I'm hoping to learn it. That aside, I am trying to build a photo gallery website. My webpage format is simple: I have a left frame that has the thumbnails and a right frame (main page) which I want to have the main images appear onMouseover of the thumbnails. I've got all of the coding for the mouseover done and I have all of the large images happening in a div, which I like. Unfortunatly all of the code only worked in one frame. When I moved the div over to the right frame I had problems. So then I copied the code for the appearing of the images to the right frame and I still have problems and this is where I am at right now:

Welcome to my webpage!
<div id="dynloadarea" style="position:absolute; top:50px; left:200px; width:500;height:500;background-color:">test</div>

</html>
I'm at the point where all I need is to be able to pass a number from frame 1 to PictNum in frame 2 to tell my modifyimage command what thumbnail the user mousedover.
I'm really lost on this, any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
