Re: new class design vs. javascript

Jeff,

The cheapest for this is JavaScript and than you have a lot of other
possibilities:
A Java Pluggin
Buy a Macro Media product (Adobe) for this
Use VBA but that is the worst you can do

So my choise would be JavaScript and than it is just easy. Be aware that if
you do it on the Server you still needs JavaScript on the client side,

I'm still new to all of this - mostly vb.net using vs 2005, so I might not
be using good terminology but let me give my question a try:

I'm looking for someone to point me in the correct direction by giving me
the phrase or terminology I need to look up the specifics myself.
I just don't know where to start.

Here is task -

On a web page, I need to switch between two images when the user clicks
the image. A few more details include the fact that I would like this to
work similar to a set of radio buttons where clicking on one of several
images changes the one clicked (let's say to green) and the others to a
reset value (let's say to red). I can do this fine using what I know now
by using an imagebutton and swaping its imageurl property and a bit of
code.

My question is whether there is a relatively practical way of converting
this functionality into something that would run on the client side,
rather than cause a postback to the server on each click. ...and do to
this without javascript. In other words, I want to have the ability to
have this work even on browsers that won't run javascript.

The idea would be to have the user make a selection of one of several of
these buttons/images and only after the user was completely finished would
they hit a submit button that would return to the server an integer
representing which one was selected. ...essentially a fancy
radiobuttonlist. ...but perhaps there is a way to use the existing
radiobuttonlist code and swap in images?

If I understand correctly, there is the ability to create what I think is
called a new class, but I'm not sure whether I'm correct about this, and
whether this type of thing requires javascript or something else that
won't run on all browsers. I don't mind reading about how to accomplish
this type of thing, but I have no idea how difficult it is, nor whether it
would accomplish what I'm after.

...any pointers appreciated.

Jeff
