I agree with Oliver that frames are clunky and annoying (to use, not
necessarily to develop, but doing it right is fiddly and annoying).
Try iframes?

Subject: Re: [Mason] update part of page only
I read all over the web why people don't like frames - which is
patially why I posted this in the first place. I don't understand what's
wrong with frames. In my situation, it seems logical to use them. All my
web users will be using IE5+ or Firefox so they can see frames. Will
everyone have javascript? Probably more people using frames than
javascript. I just don't like the idea of the whole page refreshing -
will look bad.

This isn't really a mason question.
However, there are several ways you can do this:
First, you could use a frameset, and have links load a
new URL in the
frame, which contains only the image. However, nobody
likes using frames.
Secondly, you could use javascript to change the 'src'
attribute of your
image element.
However, I'd try and aim to have as little processing
required to draw
the rest of the page as possible, so that you can redraw
the whole page
with no significant difference in the user experience.
Even if you go
for the frames of javascript approach, you ought to have
it work this
way too as a fall back for accessibility reasons.
