HTML - Text Over Button Image
I am new to HTML. I just started yesterday and found it to be useful so far. I am in the process of setting up a website so I searched for a template to use, but it wasn't complete. I think everything is in place except for the 5 page link buttons on the side. Currently they all link to the same site, but I can fix that myself. I need to put text over the image while still allowing the button to be clicked, but I don't know how. I put an image of what I want inside the attached zip file. Thanks in advance.
Similar Tutorialshi there. i made a website for somebody years ago when i knew nothing about html. the code is absolutely crazily bad and i am looking to revamp it. the site is www.englishandproudofit.co.uk i know how to do the layout but its the buttons i am struggling with. what is the best way to make the buttons around the outside? i only want to use one image for all of the buttons and then have text on each button that also chnages colour on hover, pretty much how it is now but what would be the correct way to do it? all help greatly appreciated. thank you, sam I am creating a website that has a search button with an image. I would like to know if there is some simple code that I can include that would display the same basic image with a different color when the user mouses over the button. Here is the code: <FORM name="searchform" onSubmit="return validateSearch();" METHOD="POST" ACTION="search_results_lt.asp"> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Search" VALUE="" SIZE="20" > <INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="images/search_button.gif" Name="SearchButton" Value="Submit"> </FORM> **** Thanks for your help, Robin So in January 2006 I posted a question about "making two buttons in one" 3 years and 5 months later i am happy to announce that I have found a solution. Ok, so no I have not spent the last three years looking, but the need for one came around again yesterday so I revisited the project. All I needed was "simple" image toggle. Image 'A' click it once it changes to image 'B' click it again it changes back to image 'A' All the "image toggle" codes I could find were extremely complex. I thought I had finally found one, it wasn't perfect, but it was the smallest and most basic thing I could find. HTML Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.on {background-image:url(playlist_btn.png); background-repeat:no-repeat;}
.off {background-image:url(playlist_btn_x.png); background-repeat:no-repeat;}
</style>
<script language="javascript">
function togglestyle(el){if(el.className == "on") {el.className="off";} else {el.className="on";}}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="onoff" class="playlist_btn"><img src="blank.gif" width="50 height="50" onclick="togglestyle(onoff)"></div>
</body>
</html>
I tested it, it worked, so I considered problem solved. I placed it in my page and nothing. Turns out it wont work with a doc type - so it's useless. Other problems, I'm not big on using "blank gif's" unless I have to, if you want multiple image toggles you need a new JS function for each one, and two lines of css as well. And, though I rarely use image rollovers anymore, it would certainly not be possible in this method. So it was back to the drawing board. Well, I had actually already found the solution a few minuets prior to finding out that the above code is so good. I had coded a button that on rollover shows a tooltip, when you click the button, the text in the tool tip, changes, chick again and it reverts. All done with a simple showHide javascript function, that i am finfing out has many uses. here is the awesome code: Code:
function showHide(elementid){
if (document.getElementById(elementid).style.display == 'none'){
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = '';
} else {
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = 'none';
}
}
function hideShow(elementid){
if (document.getElementById(elementid).style.display == ''){
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = 'none';
} else {
document.getElementById(elementid).style.display = '';
}
}
I wont take credit for the showHide code, but I will take credit for the hideShow portion, obviously a monkey could have coded the revers, but iot does make it that much more universal. As the original code was designed to show something that was hidden, add the revers to hide something that is showing and it's perfect. Now I will take a moment to say, though I have yet to find a problem with the code, it seems to work in most browsers, firefox, ie, safari, and validates for WC3 - In sure it has it's flaws. Until now, to show and hide divs I had used the MM_showHideLayers JavaScript function, which by default used the visibility style. It is of course a good script, and has many uses, it's not very big, but it is somewhat complex. The other thing to think about is that invisible objects still take up space. That's what is cool about the display:none: style, is that is not only invisible but it doesn't take up space. So here is how I used the above to JavaScript to make a simple onclick image toggle: HTML Code: <img id="on" src="on.png" width="50" height="50" onClick="javascript:hideShow('on'); javascript:showHide('off')" alt="on">
<img id="off" src="off.png" width="50" height="50" onClick="javascript:hideShow('off'); javascript:showHide('plus')" style="display:none;" alt="off">
Cool huh? Now this example does not have a rollover either, but since it uses to individual images and is not replacing one image wioth another you could easily apply a rollover to both images. But, hold on, look at the above code, isn't that essentially a rollover? Change the first onClick to onMouseOver and the second to onMouseOut and look at that a 'brand new' method for mouseovers. So lets take a look at this for a second, and compare MM_swapImage to this new hideShow method. As far as CSS rollovers I definitely prefer them to the MM_swapImage method, as they use a minimal amount of code. However they actually take a lot of math, construction the buttons is somewhat tedious, because css buttons use 1 image and change it's position, to work well you have to use a "blank.gif" and the the css can really add up if you have a lot of buttons: Also, you can't go directly to a button in the document, you have to fish through the css to make any adjustments. But they are fast, they don't need to be preloaded and... they are pretty cool. But anyway, swapImage and hideShow... The left is the MM_swapImage method. Now when you use the swapImage js you also have to use MM_swapImgRestore, MM_findObj, MM_preloadImages. You don't have to use the preload script but it does make thing work faster... supposedly, but that requires a onload script in the body tag, and if you have a lot of rollovers your body tag can get really long really quick. So what are the advantages, well we know for sure it works, and you only need on image in the document, however actualy having the image you are "swapping" too actually in the document can add functionality. So as you can see, on the right, the showHide method is, in total code, much smaller. True you do need to use two images, so the total code in the body is longer but, it's more than evened out bu the minimal JavaScript, and I think it's worth it. You don't need to use a preloader, you have full control over both images, the up and over state, and unlike the swapImage method, though it's rare you would need to, your up and over images can actually be different sizes, which is kind of cool. So here's the basic code for a rollover: HTML Code: <img id="up" src="up.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOver="javascript:hideShow('up'); javascript:showHide('over')" alt="up">
<a href="http://google.com"><img id="over" src="over.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOut="javascript:hideShow('over'); javascript:showHide('up')" style="display:none;" alt="over" border="0"></a>
To add a link the button you just apply it to the "over state" image. And unlike swapImage, though it is overkill, you can also add a "downstate" image quite easily. So, back to the on/off button here is how you would code it using showHide with rollovers. HTML Code: <img id="on" src="on.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOver="javascript:hideShow('on'); javascript:showHide('onover')" alt="on">
<img id="onover" src="on_over.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOut="javascript:hideShow('onover'); javascript:showHide('on')" onClick="javascript:hideShow('onover'); javascript:showHide('offover')" style="display:none;" alt="onover">
<img id="off" src="off.png" width="50" height="50" onMouseOver="javascript:hideShow('off'); javascript:showHide('offover')" style="display:none;" alt="off">
<img id="offover" src="off_over.png" width="50" height="50" style="display:none;" onMouseout="javascript:hideShow('offover'); javascript:showHide('off')" onClick="javascript:hideShow('onover'); javascript:showHide('off')"alt="offover">
So here is what is going on: you have the upstate on.png image, when you mouse over it on.png is hidden and on_over.png is displayed. When you click on_over.png it is hidden and off_over.png is display, mouse off it and off.png is displayed. Make scene? Now be aware, when you click, you are also in a scene "mousing off" so some flickering can occur. Firefox handles everything pretty well, IE and Safari not so much. When you click the on_over.png the click tells it to hide on_over.png and show the off_over.png, at the same time the mouseoff tells it to hide on_over.png and show the on.png. So fortunately the toggle with rollovers isn't perfect, but perhaps some more tweaking of the code or maybe, in this case swapImage would work better to do the rollovers... But all in all I'd say its a solid concept. If you feel compiled to do so, reply with any comments, concerns or flaws you see. Hi, I need a text box with a button which submit this line "http://xxxxxxxxx.com/my/api/sms-http.php?username=xxxx&password=xxxx&code=92&number=03333666252&msg=testingdrfdfdf" Text box is only for edit "testingdrfdfdf" (it sends a sms using API) Who help me? I shell be very thankful to him/her. Thanks in advance : ) Hi all a couple of questions.......... first how do I add text to a colored button that is part of the heading of my website. It is all lined up and when I go to paste the words in the button moves out of range or table. Is there a certain code that I use to prevent this. Secondly how do I make this a rollover text box....Thanks for your help Hello! I am trying to create a box (size, height: 3 centimeters width:2 centimeters) with a MODIFIABLE text ("http://www.dayli.com/contentnumber="). That text has to be a URL and below the box a button to GO directly to that URL. Something like the box of http://www.google.com/gwt/x? Can somebody help me? Thank you. here is the (ineffective) code currently: <img style="float: left; width: 169px; height: 73px;" src="img/logo1.png" alt="" /> <h1 style="text-align: center;">random text</h1> the image shifts the left margin such that the text is centered as though the page width was 169px less than it really is. i'm not debating the code itself; the code above behaves as its meant to. aka no surprises. i just cant figure out the appropriate code to center the text across the entire real width of the page as though there was no image. i've tried div tags & all the things google hunting advised. no luck. other than finding this forum, which seems like it'll be a boon! thanx in advance for advise/comments/feedback/help. Hi, I need to wrap the text of button so that it fits in the button's fixed width and doesn't expand the button's width, only it's height. This can be done in a regular text using the WORD-BREAK:BREAK-ALL; attribute But I tried this on the button and it's not working? Is there any work around for that? any css attribut?

Can somebody help me in this. Regards, Murali Hi all, I would like to ask for your help here. How can I first have a few radio buttons on my page and when the user select one of those, a text box with a submit button will appear. The text box is for the user to key in some kind of code/password so that it will prompt the user to a url according to the code/password. Example: Code: YAH URL: www.yahoo.com Code: GOO URL: www.google.com And if the user keys the wrong code it will prompt a message box asking them to try again. If the user key the code wrongly for 3 times it will prompt to another url. Ive also attach an example of how it should look like. I would appreciate for your help. Thanks a lot! Hello there, I am trying to find code to accomplish one little task. I want specific text to show up when one hovers over a button. Not clicking it, but hovering over. Like the ESPN tourny bracket page...hover over any team abbreviation to see full team name. Example Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lorne Hello all, I am looking to see if there is a simple way to provide a print button for static Text and/or images within a simple table. The content will not change, so I want to see if I can provide a programmed print button for the content within each table. The application is a FAQ page of a website. Currently, the page is long and printing a particular FAQ item is not possible. Expecting the viewers to be web-savvy enough to know how to print selected text is out of the question, as well as providing them this tip in writing. There needs to be a print button. I found this: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tu...rinttable.html but since I am not familiar with coding much beyond basic html I am not sure if this applies or how to implement the code examples in a webpage. I use Dreamweaver MX '04 to edit page html. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Hi All As the thread title suggests, I'm trying to vertical-align the text in a submit button - see attached. The html and css I'm using is below. I've tried wrapping spans around the value and altering the padding (which looks better but makes the onclick outline appear half-way up the button). Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Steve The html is Code: print("<input class='mybtn' SIZE='5' type='submit' name='storedatabase' value='Store Database'>");
The CSS is Code: .mybtn
{
width: 120px;
height: 21px;
border-style: outset;
border-color: red;
font-size: 12px;
color: #000000;
background-color: rgb(250, 240, 230);
border: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
outline: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
I have a web page that I had to convert from a .psd file to an html and I'm not able to center a submit button and the text field next to it. I've tried various alignments but I'm also limited by what I can do because when you convert from .psd to html the entire page is one form. I don't have an external link but I'm able to provide html if necessary. Can someone please take a look at my code and offer some suggestions? Thank you Doug Hey guys, im completely new to web development, as in, i've literally never tried it before so im hoping you guys can help me I have a local HTML and, basically, it has 2 text boxes and one button. now the button currently takes you to another page, but i want that button to copy the text from the second text box to my clipboard, so i can paste it into another document i have adobe dreamweaver cs5 but im willing to pick up any other software i might need to pull this off all help appreciated! I've tried multiple ideas but basically I just want it to be a regular grey button with the dimensions of the image I want to slap on the front of it so it will to a click down animation when someone clicks on it but so far all I get is this... HTML Code: <FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="mms://media.huntingtonnews.net/video/2007/BillDargusch-Downtowns-1.wmv"> <BUTTON TYPE="submit"><IMG SRC="http://www.huntingtonnews.net/images/baseball1-tn.jpg" alt="wow"></BUTTON> </FORM> And that is pretty good but the grey parts of the button sticking out make it look horrible. Does anyone know a way to shrink the button to the image size?... Codeguru I have the following code but the images do not swap: Quote: <input type="image" name="action" value="Submit" src="{site_url}images/submit_a.gif" class="Button" onMouseOver="document.submit_form.src='{site_url}images/submit_b.gif'; return true;" onMouseOut="document.submit_form.src='{site_url}images/submit_a.gif'; return true;" > The {site_url} replaces the site domain name. I have confirmed the the images exist. Any ideas? Hello i need help getting a button to work in my website. It will be a link to another page. I have this html. I have three images.They are gifs. I also have three more in .png. I can make just about any kind of file. When i made the files i used transparency and interlaced. I'll attach images. I want one to appear when to mouse goes over it and one to appear when it's clicked. The attached ones are .png's. thanks Hello all, does anyone know a where and what the code is to put a small 2 pixel image between buttons? also, does anyone know some code (if Flash isnt detected) display a Gif, I found one and it works fine in IE but not FF. Thanks Jason I have a small image (icon) which when clicked will take you to one of x number of sites via a random link generator. Here is my html where randomlink refers to a javascript routine in the head. <form> <p><input type="button" name="B1" value="Random Link >>" onclick="randomlink()"></p> </form> This works fine in returning a random website (actually one from a list). But I would like to replace the button with an image. I tried this but no joy: <form> <input type="image" onclick="randomlink()" value="Random Link >>" src="../images/icon.jpg"> </form> What am I doing wrong? Hugh |
