Posted 713 days ago 12Thank you also for the post. I am all the more determined know to get the hang of the code so I can turn my images into something special. I would like rollover images which allow you to zoom in on them when you hover your mouse over them ( such as in this site: Duoboots ). Also I want to make them into images which turn 360degrees. How would I do this? Could it be done within the coding on one image or will I have to have one or the other? Can anyone shed some light?
