Avatar select

[jamesbrauman]

I'm looking for some way to display all the available avatars to a user when they are registering, and letting them to be able to select one. I have about 300 50x50 avatars and I would like to show them in a box about 200px high and 800px wide.

 

How can I do this (which avatar the user selected also needs to be posted to my php application)?

unless you plan on having all 300 avatars listed on the page at once

I would have a small DIV popup on some sort of trigger

with 3 or so columns of avatars in it....and have previous and next arrows within the div

load all the avatars into a javascript array so they are preloaded and show them.....say

20 or 50 at a time

[Acs]

Also try to use ajax so when going to the next 20 or 50 you don't have to reload the entire page

[Zane]

there's no reason to use AJAX when all the avatars can already be preloaded

just use simple javascript to update the DIV

[Acs]

But why preload 300 avatars if the users picks the first or second?
