Abstract
A method and system for web based graphical control components. Specifically, the present invention describes a method of graphically displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) control component within a hypertext markup language (HTML) web page. The present invention optionally displays a label associated with a displayed GUI control component. A JavaScript routine is invoked in response to user input, and based thereon a selected image file is selected from a plurality of image files. The plurality of image files correspond to respective user selectable options for responding to the label. The selected image file is then displayed in the GUI control component on the HTML web page. The JavaScript routine employs a unique naming scheme for name tags of a plurality of sequentially associated slave objects of a master object for more concise referencing.
