Hi

I am trying to find the best way to do something and am hoping someone could
perhaps give me a good idea or even a meduim idea.

I am working on an online gallery for an artist.  She has done some drawings
( very beautiful and detailed) which I would like to have at a high quality.
I think she has about 3 so far.
She is going to sell them with special coloured mount board as part of the
whole picture ie it will be an important feature of the art.
I thought that as I want the 3 drawings high quality I could show them and
have the mount board change by a rollover sort of thing to save download
time.  There is quite a number of mount boards and each effects the drawing
in a different way so I would have a small block and when the client puts
his mouse over it then the background would change.

I could possible even cheat and instead of using the mount board just use a
colour background or on the other hand scan a small piece of mount board and
have it as a tiled background.

the problems are:

1.  This background tiled image or colour would be the background colour of
a table cell and not a whole page if I want the drawing to be centered on
top and not changing with the mount board.
Is this possible ie to have a rollover that changes the background image of
a table cell and not the image itself?
Would it be able to change a table cell background colour?
Is there a script for this?

2.  I think there was a second problem but can't remember it.  Perhaps I
asked both questions in No. 1

Thank you for any help
love
Moira
