How can I change the contents of a div or paragraph when the user presses a link using CSS? I am trying to create an image gallery where the user presses a thumbnail and the full image displays. I don't want to use pop-up windows and I don't want to refresh the screen or use frames. Can this be done easily?

Try this little sample, uses the innerHTML property. Won't work in NN4 but will in pretty much everything else.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script>
function updateTestParagraph(string)
{
document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = string
}
var testString = "Look, DHTML wonder eh?"
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:updateTestParagraph(testString);" >click here</a>
<p id="test"></p>
</body>
</html>
