The Image Swap Rollover Menu was originally developed to help our Website design customers. It is a Joomla module that lets you specify up to 10 sets of images for display - default image, mouseover image, after mouseover image. The original use for this menu was to have mouseover images that were larger versions of the default image. That gave the impression that as you did a mouseover of the image, the image "swelled" up and became more prominent. The image itself was a link to a different part of the Website to either buy now or get more information. The module can be used in a Horizontal or Vertical fashion, and is done entirely in Javascript. The URL links can open in the same page, or can open in a new window.

 Since it was first launched, we have used it in a variety of ways. We have used it as a set of rollover ads. We have had the mouseover image be the primary issue with a shading difference only. We have used a completely different image for mouseover as is shown for many of the items in our demo on this page. We have used the after mouseover image as a different image, and sometimes we have simply gone back to the default image.

The flexibility of this module and its ease of use makes it a must-have for designers interested in doing graphical menus within Joomla.

Here is a recap of what the module can do:

• Use up to 10 sets of images. For each set, you can optionally specify a Default Image which shows when the page loads, an image to show on mouseover, and an image to show after mouseover. The after mouseover image can be the same as the first image, or can be a different image.
• Set a maximum width for all images, or allow some images (especially on rollover) to be larger than others. (This effect is showcased in our Demo to the left.)
• Each set of images can link to a unique URL. Link to any unique 10 URLs!
• The option to open the URLs in a new window or the same window. This option is available separately for each URL.
• The ability to display the images in either a vertical or horizontal manner.
• The ability to set the number of pixels between the images and above and below the images.
• The ability to set alternate tags for the images which help in SEO.
• The ability to set an image title that displays when the rollover image is shown.
