Hi, If anyone could help it would fantastic.
I got this test to work but it's messy I cobbled it together from hints and tips across the net. Is there a better way to display the description with the image when using 'moviepic'.
I put this online to help: http://www.millermiller.co.uk/daniweb/

Many Thanks, James

Your javascript is really overkill. You have 3 functions that could be condensed into one. Also, the 3 divs, Des_pic1-3, could be condensed since only one is displayed at a time. All of these things would also help condense the css.

Dirty unchecked code

will load the page with thumbnails, Fast
then after the page is onscreen will background load the images so they are ready to display on mouseover without delay.
loading on mouseover as written in the original script is not a good idea, just makes the user think the page is broken.

Thanks so much for your help, I'm sorry to trouble you but my lack of experience on this has failed to make your code work. Any pointers?

Thanks, James
