Hi,
I have a circular graphic divided into 3 sections, each section links to a different page. I have 2 versions of this graphic/sections, a faded & a bright version, how I want it to work is like this.
Page shows "bright" graphic, a user put mouse over section 1, sections 2& 3 change to the "faded" versions.

Did that make sense ??
Ideas ??

Thanks in advance

The first thing you'll need to do is make your graphic into an image map - I'm guessing thats slicing wouldn't work here. I haven't made an image map in years, but there is all kinds of software you can use for this - look on download.com or you might have something already. Dreamweaver will do image maps for example.

Once you've got that done you'll want to set a mouseover script to change the entire graphic on mouseover - this is probably the only way to do it and it will crate a rather large download time since all 4 versions of the graphic will need to be downloaded.
