What I would like is when the user clicks on an image,for some text to appear next to the image. i was wondering what language should i use,and how should i go about it?

Thanks.

I would use javascript or some form of it, have a look on www.javascriptsource.com for some examples.

Depending on how much text we're talking here wouldn't it be easier to use the description part (can't remember offhand what it's called) of the IMG tag?

alt tags? but thats only when you hover over the image. i would like it to be permantly displayed.

Webmonkey.com has an ace javascript tutorial.

the easiest thing to do is to have a hidden span right after the image and then unhide it when the image is clicked. something like this:

Code:

<img src=... onclick='this.nextSibling.style.visibility="visible"'>
<span style='visibility: hidden'>hello</span>
