frameset image swap HELP

[chuco61]

I did a search and couldnt find anything within the first few pages.

What i want to do it have a nav with a simple 2image rollover (easy) but then as i roll over the nav i want an image to pop up in another frameset i.e main content. Then roll to another nav button and the image change again.

All the while allowing once the nav is pressed to go to another page which will target to framest maincontent.

does anyone have any info on this PLEASE?

link im working on. mmgrates.isoars.com

is made up of 4 different framesets.

on hover event, you have to set up the frame's src attribute to point to the source of the image and pray that that image will load faster than the cursor that's moving to the next link. To me, what you try to do here is rather pointless...but that's just my opinion and you can just ignore it if you wish.

Why on Earth would you want to use framesets?

First of all, I can't see how you could get the result you are looking for if you are using framesets as a frameset is a collection of independent pages -- so, there is no way that a client side event like rolling over a link can effect something on one of the other pages in the frameset.

If you think you have any good reasons for needing framesets, please let me know and I'll give you the alternatives to them (though there are some extremely rare situations where a frameset is the right solution).

As for the effect you are looking for, a little JS on mouseover to show/hide a div would provide the effect you are looking for, esp. if you preload the images. See my nasty old site at SitesbySean.com for an example to follow (though I'm showing/hiding text rather than images, but same difference).
