Hey Nigel dude could it get any simpler?

Searching for one thing, I came across this little script found at
javascript.internet.com.
The sample they showed used tables.
A row of 4 thumbs, the big picture, then another row of thumbs.
Easily converts over to my project.
Your basic image swap but just a tad tidier I think.


browserName = navigator.appName;
browserVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);

ns3up = (browserName == "Netscape" && browserVer >= 3);
ie4up = (browserName.indexOf("Microsoft") >= 0 && browserVer >= 4);

function swap(imgName) {
if (ns3up || ie4up) {
imgOn = ("" + imgName);
document.thumbs.src = imgOn;
}
}

The big question. Why javascript?

Because that way it can be ensured to only work in two browsers.

Much simpler...

function swap(x) {
document.images["thumbs"].src = x;
}

Don't use "The JavaScript Source". What you posted proves that it
contains some of the worst code in existence.

Dear &deity;! Browser sniffing for a bloody image swap? Give me a break!

If you're going to test for support (which really is unnecessary),
test for the images collection:

var swap = document.images
? function(url) {document.images['thumbs'].src = url;}
: function() {};

swap('example.jpeg');

Replace ".invalid" with ".uk" to reply by e-mail.

Yet it still won't work without javascript. Mine does. To be honest, it's a
rather convoluted way of doing a basic image swap anyway.

You already have the code to do your image swap with js. Now insert the PHP
so it works without js and you'll be there.
