Script for switching divs via buttons

Hello!
Let's start right away: I have this website on a testing folder:
http://antaria.eu/test/

Please ignore the buttons' meaning, they are in Italian.

I basically had the idea of do the whole website inside of that tv (Being a screen cast it is quite logic, isn't it?)
Each of the button has to be linked to 1 div inside the TV.

Dynamic content will be generated with php, I am able to do that, but I am a total javascript-beginner, so I need a script that on mouse click on one of the buttons fades in the related div.

Thanks for any help and sorry for asking silly questions :) gamers would shout "noob" ^^

Thank you, I will try this out as soon as I can :)

When embedding a flash file, this won't work anymore. Any ideas?

Ok, thanks for this great script! Everything works fine!

However, can I ask for one more thing? I am using divs for the goto function buttons (at the bottom), and would like to change the background of the button when it is selected/clicked.
I am not quite sure how to archive this. I looked at the JavaScript, but I have no idea how to change the button's background along with the goto function.

Thanks for help!!!

wonderful!
One last thing: in your case to trigger the image change you use "this" to define which image to change. What identifies "this" if I want to use it in another part of the site? The ID of the element?

to use IDs

Code:

zxcFade.prototype.GoTo=function(nu,obj,cls){ if (this.tvs[nu]){ obj=typeof(obj)=='object'?obj:document.getElementById(obj); if (obj){ if (this.lstbut&&cls){ this.lstbut.className=this.lstbut.className.replace(cls,''); } this.lstbut=obj; obj.className+=cls; } this.tvs[this.lst].obj.style.zIndex='0'; this.tvs[this.lst].animate(this.tvs[this.lst].data[0],0,this.ms,[0,100]); this.lst=nu; this.tvs[this.lst].obj.style.zIndex='1'; this.tvs[this.lst].animate(this.tvs[this.lst].data[0],100,this.ms,[0,100]); } }
