Hi All

 

I am a newbie , and through this excellent site have managed to create a small intro page for my 1st website.

What I want to do is the following and I have NO IDEA how to go about it, I will explain it the best I can.

 

For Example:- I have say a side on picture of a car on my website. What I want to do is allow the website viewer to change the colour of the car between a various selection of colours to see which one the user likes.

I would also like the same for the wheels.

 

How do I ggo about it , where do I start etc etc

 

Many Many Thanks in advance for your help

The simplest way is to have a lot of images, every permutation of body and wheel color for each car. You would have to use a graphics program like Photoshop to produce the different color schemes.

 

Then have a list of links for each car with the options like:-

Hummer:-

Black body, red wheels

Black body, silver wheels

Red body, red wheels

Red body, silver wheels

 

Use hover popup code to show the images in the same place on the web page as item 2 here:-

The example has thumbnail images for links but you could have text instead or just have a "normal" colored car for the thumbnail and the different combinations in the popup.

 

A bit messy but easier than setting up some kind of image overlay.

thank you very much indeed, so that means loads of photoshop work?
