pop up layers |
|---|
| message from A.H.O. on 20 Jul 2004 |
Im sure this has been discussed already, but Id like to make a pop up layer
appear when a viewer scrolls over certain text. Im assuming this can be done
in CSS Behaviors. Im struggling through it, so if anyone has some advice or
could point me in the right direction Id appreciate it. Is this a decent thing
to do, or is it frowned upon?
Thanks

Are you talking about this?
<a href="javascript:;" title="This is the descriptive information that will
be shown">Mouse over me</a>

It sounded to me like you were looking for descriptive information that
would appear when some text is moused over. If the descriptive information
is not so voluminous, the title attribute is a very simple and effective way
to present such a function.
Try copying that code and pasting it into a new page in DW (do this in code
view, and paste it between <body> and </body>, or do it in design view after
clicking on the page, and paste with Shift-Ctrl-V).
Then preview the page and mouse over the text.

What are you trying to do with this. This can be used for several different
things and the way you deal with, for example, popup menus, is different than
how you deal with, what is commonly referred to as, disjointed rollovers.

AHO, two main choices
image
layer
image
you'll need at least three
1. the mouseOver image (apply the Swap image behaviour here. 2. the
invisible image (transparent spacer.gif, name it in the properties panel
3. the target image
You'll find that consistent sizes are a major bonus
layer
1. set a layer's properties to invisible, name it! 2. mouseOver &
mouseOff text or picture, apply a show layer behaviour
You might want to download some free extensions for this as they can aid
with multiple/group layers and layer positioning

what kind of extensions would they be? Not sure what they would call them. Most importantly, where can I get them? Thanks!

In my site Ive got some products that contain some new fangled material. I
would like to make it so that the name of the material "Hydrasorb Ultra" looks
different than the rest of the text to draw attention to itself, and then when
a mouse is scrolled over it, Id like a small unobtrusive pop up layer window to
appear giving a more detailed description of the material. Ive tried to find
tutorials on this, but all I can find are tut. for pop up WINDOWS. I would
rather not open a "pop up window". Are there ways to do this? Ive heard of
Disjointed Rollovers, but dont know anything about them. I'll read up on them
right now. (if I can find anything)
Id love to here any suggestions you have...and thanks

What are you trying to do exactly? Is it text popping up or a graphic? Is it
like mousing over a thumbnail and having a large image appear?
I ask because there are a number of ways to do things like this, from the
swap/hide layers behavior to swap images to Set Text of Layer to.....well,
you get the idea.

Id would like to have a "text box" or something of the sort (I was thinking of
an invisable layer that became visable) pop up or appear when a viewr scrolled
over a piece of text. Or a text "null" link.

If it's text you're primarily interested in, I'd think creating layers for
the "pop-ups" that are hidden and "show" when you mouseover is the way to
go. Read the DW HELP about the show/hide layers behavior. Also check out the
Project Seven site http://www.projectseven.com/extensions/index.htm for
extensions that help you with layers as well as some good tutorials. If
you're using layers, their SnapLayer extension is probably a must.
You could also look into the DW "Set Text As Layer" behavior if you're just
doing text. It's not the most elegant thing going but might do the trick.
If you're mostly working with graphics for this, swap layers (also in the DW
behaviors) could be the ticket.
