RollOver Targeting 101
One of the key features of RollOver is its ability to target other images on the page. Alas, it's also one of the trickier features and that, we'll assume, is the reason why you're here.

The goal of this tutorial is to have you creating once seemingly impossible targeting RollOvers with the ease and confidence of a seasoned professional!

What is a RollOver?
A RollOver is merely an image that when passed over with your cursor, changes into another image. This ability can lend itself to some pretty cool effects.

Let's say you're a medieval alchemist. Your goal is to turn lead into gold:

Move your cursor over the lead bar.

You're may be saying at this point "Duh, even I knew that! Get to the point already!"

So, what about Targeting?
Targeting, in contrast to a simple RollOver, would be to have Merlin perform the the task of turning lead into gold through the use of his magic:

Move your cursor over Merlin.

If you roll your cursor over Merlin, you will notice the lead bar, above, turn gold. That's all targeting is! One image, when rolled over, changing another.
