Need a script that allows you to select a combination of pic and display a third pic based on pic. selection?
I’m looking for a html/java script that I can add to a website that will allow a user to select two different pictures and dependant on their selection, display a third picture. Any ideas?
It’s taken a while to find a question that was both interesting to me and something I could knock out inside of an hour or so, but I finally came across this one. This is a fairly straightforward use of JavaScript to manipulate the HTML DOM, and it allows me to expand upon previous DOM issues I’ve covered.
We’ll use checkboxes to select combinations of two out of four images, and then display a fifth image based on those choices.

During a spate of computer-file housecleaning, I came across this e-mail exchange I had with f1ava f1av, he of the infamous PHP dissertations back in December.
It contains what I consider my most honest advice for a person who is just starting out in the programming business, and it feels interesting to share a piece of personal correspondence to an erstwhile admirer and fellow traveler; to me, it’s much the same as reading the kinds of correspondence the Founding Fathers used to share with one another.
And, if that isn’t too pretentious an introduction, here’s f1ava’s letter to me:
Doug-
Whats going on these days, any neat projects brewing? I’ve cut back on my php hours lately cause i think my mind was starting to fry. Ive been dabbing with photoshop lately trying to get a somewhat decent appearance to the site. Do you ever find with programming or whatever that ideas start to flow, and they dont really stop. So as time continues, you realize that you havnt gotten as far as you would like becasue ya keep on dabbign with new ideas. hehe Im sticking with my original layout. The calendar turned out pretty neat, i added a random displaying picture at the top of each month. The add/edit/delete/username/password is all working dandy.
Thanks again for your assistance with everything so far, its def been a huge help.
Peace
F1avor
