Can i set a text box to change with the click of a link?

[MelissaH]

I'm just learning about website design and setting up my first one... wanted
to know if there is a way to have text change by clicking a link (similar to
how the newest headlines do on the yahoo page, for instance). Is this
something that can be done in publisher or something that i can add code for?
Thanks!

Publisher produces static pages and has no built-in support for this type of
dynamic mouseover effect. However, you can achieve a lot of different
dynamic functionality using javascript which you insert via insert > html
code fragment feature in Publisher.

As I have no idea of the specific mouseover effect you are wanting to
achieve go to sites such as http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ ,
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ and
http://www.javascriptkit.com/cutpastejava.shtml and look at the free
javascript code that is available and see if any of that will do what you
want. If you can get more specific, you might also be able to google for the
code. Then just copy and paste into a code fragment box and test it to see
if it will work as desired in your Publisher web page.

I would suggest that you avoid the temptation to add too many bells and
whistles to your pages...keep it simple and don't distract from the message.

Welcome to the trial and terror...and fun of web design with Publisher.
