I am trying to figure out how the switching of pictures is done. Maybe it is javascript. Here is an example of what I want to do.

Clicking on the small picture switches it into the larger space. I like this feature.

I think it's probably some template on eBay, but I would like to be able to code this myself. I don't really even know the correct terminology to describe it, so any help would be great. You can't find the answer if you don't know how to ask the question.

Yes, that is done in JavaScript. It's not too difficult. Look around for "Javascript Image Preloading" tutorials and such. You can probably also find exactly what you need if you search for "rollover" scripts. Just use an onclick event attached to a thumbnail instead of an onmouseover event attached to the image itself.

Basically you reference your big image:
var myPic = document.getElementById("myMainImage") or some such referencing

then you can change the source of the picture in javascript.
myPic.src = "mybigpicfromthumbnail.jpg";
when the actual source was something else:
<img src="mystartingpic.jpg" id="myMainImage" />

Look for preloading scripts and it'll tell you more formally how to preload your images so it switches instantly and declare your myPic variable as an image, etc.
