Right now I have code that when you refresh the page it changes the image automatically that is displayed.

Thing is I dont really like that as it restarts the music playing in the backround.

So,

How would I create a button, that when you click it, it automatically reloads the image without refreshing the whole page, just the image part of it.

it will probs use a cookie to track that they've enabled this, he also thinks you will have to use ajax.

Help ?

if the image is an <img> tag, something like this might work:

code:

---

<input onclick="getimage()">

<script>
function getimage() {
   document.getElementById(picture id name).src = 'path to random image generator php file'
}
</script>

---

If its a css background image, use something like this:

code:

---

<script>
function getimage() {
   document.getElementById(picture id name).className = 'path to random image php file'
}
</script>

<script>
function getimage() {
   document.body.style.backgroundImage = 'url(path to random image php file)'
}
</script>

It is infact in the body tag: using a style.

body? ok, ill edit the script

EDIT: no, that doesn't quite work yet

Ok let me say it again .

When you click a button like "Refresh this Image" it refreshes the image without reloading the whole page .

no, he says:

if you want a slideshow, all you need to do is add the getimage() to the body onload and add a timer

=s

He just wants a button that when you click reloads the php file - well that's my understanding anyway.

. Basically.



So let me explain it 1 more time.

See it plays music and shows a random image?

When you refresh the page, the image changes, but the music restarts, because the whole page was refreshed.

I want a button, that when you click it, changes ONLY the image, and does not refresh the whole page.

Ok ?

You could always use... *cough* frames *cough*.
