As you'll have gathered, Javascript isn't my forte, but I really couldn't
find anything on the web that really did what you were asking for. The
nearest I came was this example:
http://javascript.internet.com/bgeffects/background-changer.html
Which I adapted to suit, using buttons. In the original example, you can
see what steps you'd need to take to trap-out browsers for which the
script won't work and the basic principles behind creating a list of
images that can be sawpped around.
Ironically, the one method for which Netscape's Communicator 4 could have
done that same thing - the Layer object - wasn't accepted by the W3C...
which is a shame, since it was really quite a useful object.
