Dreamweaver: having an image or button change after it is clicked on


Hi I am using Dreamweaver and trying to get an image or button to change after it is clicked on. Essentially, I want an image to say follow before it is clicked on and say unfollow after it is clicked on like happens on Twitter, Quora etc.

Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • @Spencer: Are you using a JavaScript framework (e.g. jQuery or mootools)? You could add or replace a class for the button when it is clicked so that it'll have a different style to the button in its default state.

    Update: Here's some sample code to get you started (see it in action here: http://jsfiddle.net/5HqFw/) --

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('#button').click(function() {
                $(this).toggleClass("clicked");
            });
        });
    </script>
    
    <style type="text/css">
        #button {        
            border: 1px solid green;
            display: block;
            padding: 5px;
            text-align: center;
            width: 100px;
        }
        .default {
            background-color: white;
            color: green;
        }
        .clicked {
            background-color: green;
            color: white;
        }
    </style>
    </head>
    
    <body>
    
    <p><a href="#" id="button" class="default">Button!</a></p>
    
    </body>
    </html>
