Are you talking about the red and blue square which will change the color of the bike when pressed on ?


Lets say you have a picture of a bike:

<img src='redbike.gif' name='mybike' height=100 width=100>

Lets say you another place on the page has a link with a red cube enclosed within the link:

<a href="javascript:...">
<img src='redcube.gif' height=10 width=10>
</a>

<a href="javascript:...">
<img src='bluecube.gif' height=10 width=10>
</a>

Now all we need to do is to add some javascript (not java, but javascript.. confusing I know !!) to the href (links) tags:

In the first link:
<a href="javascript: document.images['mybike'].src='redbike.gif'; return false;">

In the second link:
<a href="javascript: document.images['mybike'].src='bluebike.gif'; return false;">


What happens is this:
when the links are pressed javascript will go to the image 'mybike' located elsewhere on the page and change the source (.src property) to a new image (either redbike.gif or bluebike.gif depending on which square you pressed).

Don't worry about the 'return false' statement. it is needed in the link.
