I have a crude demo working when I hover over a link an image above is switched out. How do I best store what image I want the link to swap to? $(".showPic").hover(function() { $("#imgLinkAct").attr("src", "images/valve_manifold.jpg"); }); The html: <p class="centered" style="height: 80px;"><img id="imgLinkAct" src="images/cylinder.jpg"/></p> <p style="margin-left: 2%;"> <a href="linear_actuators.html">Linear Actuators</a><br/> <a href="#" class="showPic">Guided Actuators</a><br/> <a href="#">Grippers & Escapements</a><br/> Would I store the img path in the <a> tags title attribute? I would like to not hard code it in the jquery/script..
