Hi,
Im trying to develop a website that dynamically pulls a lot of info from a database. I can do that fine.
I'd like a way to present several ways to list the records from the database, for example some may want just text links, others may want little icons beside each record etc.
So i found an gif image on blockbuster.com (they allow you to display the list in 3 fashions, exactly like i want to just by clicking one of the 3 images at the bottom or top) and downloaded the image. As you can see below there are 3 seperate images and when you hover over each one it will provide a link to 3 seperate pages.
When I opened up the file I saw 2 images in one file, one is of the three images disabled and the other is of them all enabled. Also the file contains all 3 images, they all sort of blend together and then on the page i guess it cuts them apart. Notice that the notice that the center image from the above picture is comprised of the right side of the left image and the left side of the right image. Then because im displaying the 3rd list format it pulls that from the disabled portion of the image.
Does anyone know how to split images and only use certain portions or know where i can find out how to? I did do a bunch of searching but couldnt find anything.
Let me know if i need to explain anything further, as it is sort of complicated.
Thanks
