webpage code question?

Question

i want to have a gallery on my web page. a fixed html page that doesn't reload. only the new image loads replacing the old in the same spot when you select a number corresponding to the next image. is this html, java, etc? and what is the technical term called so i can look it up to create my code? example sites are like victoria secret or frederiks that let you sample different colors of product in the window embedded in the page without the whole page reloading. only that small image changes.

Answer 1

This is probably close to what you want but it will need some modification.
It's a start. Good luck.

Answer 2

This could be a number of things. If it is from a big name site like Victoria's secret, or Fredrick's, im guessing they are probably using flash or something.

One thing that you could do to change the image shown in the center of your page, without having it reload, or go to another page would be "iframes" basically, you could have someone click on a link on your site, and whatever they click on would change within that frame in the middle. Its kind of hard to explain in words, but im sure you could find something similar to what your looking for by using iframes. I recommend going on google and searching for "iframe" maybe add tutorial, html or some other tags related. maybe "iframe images tutorial" in your case.

Hope this helps.

P.S. Im sure there are some php scripts that you could look up as well. But if you wanna stick with html. iframes are the way to go.
