onclick and variables

[Richard]

When you mouse over one of the chevrons, the main image changes.
What I'd like do next is to have an onclick instead of onmouseout.
So that a variable would tell the function which new area to go to.
I know this is most likely handled in javascript, can it be done in html?
For instance:
chevronclick=0 on load.
clicking at chevron 4 would set the variable to 4.
The proper url selected by the variable.
I will also post this in the javascript group.

thanks.

This looks very much like mystery meat navigation.

Er, why. Why not just use the built-in onclick handler provided by the <area
href=...> element? That is, after all, what an area element if for

Crosspost next time. That way everybody gets to see all the responses.

That's what I want to know. What is the proper syntax for doing it that way?
What I have tried results in an error. as with mouseover, it is expected to
find a script of some sort.
I've been searching on the web and have found no answers to that yet.

Hmmm. <AREA onmouseover="changer('img1',2)" shape=CIRCLE coords=69,347,-41
href="http://google.com/"> ?

Figured it out I think.
<area................onClick="window.location='http://www.site.com'">
at least it works.
