Loading new images, not new page - what is this called?

[umbr-ellafitzgerald]

I am a complete and utter newbie to PHP. I really need to find out the 'technical term' for replacing images only when a link is clicked, and not loading a whole new page.

 

And...if anybody could tell me where to find the code or the how-to for this, I would be most grateful.

 

I hope I make sense and that somebody can help me!

hmm well thats not a very clear question,

but there isnt really a technical term for that it is purly loading differnt images images,

 

but it really depends on how many images/ sets of images you have and how many you want to change ect, but basically youll jsut need to replace a few variables

Its called AJAX. Its not done with PHP its done with javascript (although the javascript can, and often does, call a php function). There is an AJAX section on this forum, try asking in there for more help.

 

Although just off the top of my head, you could try jcarousel, as it will do what you want.
