Facebook deals.woot style image select

JavaScript
1

When posting links on facebook or deals.woot they grab the images on the page (which I’m fine with doing) and the put in scrolling selector box where the user can select the best image before submitting the form.

I’ve been looking for a tutorial on how to do this with no luck for ages.

Does anyone know of one of give me pointers on how it’s done?

Thanks

AJAX to grab the images you found, a div with fixed height/width and overflow:auto to show them in

Hi Dan,

Thanks for that, but it doesn’t seem to be what I’m after, or I just can’t work out how to make the image that’s current showing be selected in a form. I’m decided just to let people submit an image link instead.

Thanks again,

doolally

The same JavaScript that changes which image is showing updates a hidden field in the form identifying the chosen image.
