[Solved] Layers and swapping images

Hello,

I've just started using cmsms 1.4.1 on FreeBSD 7.1 to create a new set of pages for my small business.  At this point I don't have anything very complicated or fancy, and I've been able to figure out how to get things to look the way I want.  Except for one page.  I would like to implement something like this:
http://www.rhinocentral.com/html/PArtwork.html#
for my own project photos.  But I'm not quite sure how to approach this.  Is there a module or two that would make doing this easier?  Or will I have to "hand code" everything?

Right now what I have is a fairly simple template for four pages, an equally simple stylesheet, and a menu based on a centered horizontal style from listamatic.

Thanks,

Denver

Hi,

i think you can get very close to this result with "Album" module and using the cmotion-image-gallery.tpl as template for the gallery.
You can alter the template to your needs then.

Thanks, that helped.  Although the "Album" module doesn't seem to be quite what I was looking for, I did find something that looks just right.  I was following the trail of cmotion, trying to figure out how to modify it to get the results I wanted, and discovered "Image Thumbnail Viewer II" at dynamicdrive.com. 

However, it uses an external java script.  According to the instructions, I need to include some code in the section, but I'm not sure how to do that.  And is there going to be any difficulty getting an external java script to function?

Thanks again,

Denver

It works!  I didn't need to put the javascript path and name in the section after all.  It worked just fine in the body of the page.

Thanks again,

A final comment:  If you want to see the results, they're at irresistible-images.com, in the Gallery.

Thanks,
