So, I have a div class called blah

 

and I have some links to the side, when you click a link, it'll put an image where blah is.

 

So I think it's something like

 

triggers: '#blah-trigger';
element: '#blah';
switcher: function(0, opts)

 

anyone able to link me to a place that can give me more information on this?

This is a decent resource - play around a bit.

You can easily do this with jQuery.

 

First, have the IMG element have ID attribute with the name of your choosing, then have a list of links (A) that have the link/source of the image contained within an attribute like REF.

 

<img id="blah" src="http://www.iconarchive.com/icons/deleket/halloween-avatars/256/Scream-icon.png" />

<ul id="blah-links">
   <li><a href="#" rel="http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/3129/worldsfinest6as.jpg">Image 1</a></li>
   <li><a href="#" rel="http://avatarfarm.com/avatarimages/cartoons/calvinhobbesavatar.jpg">Image 2</a></li>
   <li><a href="#" rel="http://avatarfarm.com/avatarimages/animatedimages/dancingcactusavatar.gif">Image 3</a></li>
   <li><a href="#" rel="http://avatarfarm.com/avatarimages/people/facelessavatar.gif">Image 4</a></li>
</ul>

 

Use jQuery's event binding methods to grab all the links and just simply change the SRC attribute of the IMG tag which has the ID.

 

<script type="text/javascript">
 // Run the following code only when the document is "read", as in loaded completely.
 $(document).ready(function() {
   // Take the list element (ul) with the id "blah-links", then it's link (a) elements, and bind a click event to all of them
   $('#blah-links a').bind('click', function() {
     // Take the image element which had the "blah" id attribute, and change its attribute called "src" to the "rel" attribute of the link you just clicked.
     $('#blah').attr('src', $(this).attr('rel'));
     // Prevent the link from executing it's original behaviour (taking you to the linked page, which in this case is only an anchor, and wouldn't go anywhere)
     return false;
   });
 });
</script>
