ive seen a lot of rollover posts, but they all require you to make another image.

i was wondering if this is possible:

I have an image map, and for every link there, when you hover on one it changes? er..for example i have this image map that has "links" "people" "blog" on it. when I hover on "links" an image shows up beside it, and when I hover on "blog" the same image hovers beside "blog."

would this require me to make a lot of image maps?

um, i hope you understood that.

well an image map is basically a code that goes on top of the images and that makes the image clickable. What you really do is clicking a layer above the image that links to another page or pop-up, so not actually the image.

what i should do is make the image map as an seperate image from the layout. Then slice it into pieces and position it with divs and make hovers on them. (check lissa's page about image changing on mouseover) In this way it doesn't affect the actual layout because the second image is bigger then the first image.

Because you position them with div's they come on top of the layout and they don't affect the layout. Hope it helps!

Love,
