Re: [Dynapi-Help] Image Maps and Rollovers

[Tarun R E. <ta...@we...>]

Both options can be adopted, I think.
The first option would be better when the rollover image is of the same size
as the 'normal' image and is ONLY related to the 'normal' image (ie it musnt
be the *rollover* for anything else) .I think it makes sense to keep a
single layer with a single image tag (and then swapping the src attribute on
the rollover using <refToLayer>.doc.images[0].src)

The second would be if the rollover image is something different
(larger,enhanced). Or is used for more than a single purpose. In this case
it would be preferable to have 2 layers each containing an image, one layer
visible and the other hidden, and then swappng their visibility.

I didnt get the setHTML() part of what you said. The method works ok for me
(maybe you ought to get the latest API or something ?)
