HTML - Rollover Image To Display Text
Hello,
I am trying to command a mouse-rollover to display a text under the photo that is to be mouse-rollovered. I know how to display a second picture to showed up upon mouse-rollover on a first picture, but I do not know how to display a text message upon a picture mouse-rollover. Thank you kindly guys Similar TutorialsI'm hoping for some help with the code to solve my problem. My site has a page devoted to a series of products. I have the names of the products running down a set of cells on the left side of a table. The product names will be linked to html pages dedicated to each of those products. I've got that under control, no problem. I'm trying to add the extra spiff of a common image area in a large merged cell just the to the right of the navigation cells and I'd like for an image of the specific product to come up in the image area when a user mouses-over the navigation cell. For example, the first nav cell is for "Lathes," so when a user mouses over the word Lathes I want a picture of a lathe to appear in the image area. When they mouse over the nav for bandsaws, I want an image of a bandsaw to come up in the same image area, etc. Is anyone willing to suggest some code to accomplish this little trick? It would be a great help. Thanks. Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right area as this is my first thread. The problem I'm facing is I have 7 links in a row | Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 | Link 4 | Link 5 | Link 6 | Link 7 | and below those links I have nothing. What I want is for Text to appear on rollover on Link 1 and stay there until Link 2 or another link is hovered over. Example: Mouse hovers on Link 1 - called Free Home Survey Text appears below row of links about Free Home Surveys that the company does Mouse hovers on Link 3 - called Personalisation Text appears below the row of links about Personalisation etc Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Dear Forum, I'm a new member and needing quick help for a client who wants to rollover images and show different text for each image in a single location. I normally use Dreamweaver to create my rollover images but don't have text associated with that. The image will be a link so the client can click on the rollover image to enter that section of the Web Site. The text location needs to be in a particular location down below the images and in one location. I will have as many a 20 images or more all with different titles. I would like to use a java script since that's what I most familiar with but not opposed to using html. I'm in the process of the design as we speak so I need help as soon as I can receive it. Thanks ahead of time. I'm trying to make an image appear/change in response to a rollover, but the image is not in the same table as the rollover. I'm trying to redesign the header of my website, and have come up with this draft: bottleweb.org/test I want an image to appear in between the "BOTTLEWEB.ORG" text and the buttons. If for example I move my mouse over the 'forum' button, I want an image corresponding to 'forum' to appear in between the buttons and the "BOTTLEWEB.ORG" test. Is this possible? 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. I want to implement a rollover (javascript or css) that changes text when you rollover it. E.g. someone's name and when you rollover it shows their address. I've googled this and found a css rollover which changes the color of the text but is there a way to completely change the text? Any help much appreciated, thanks I'm using the DOM rollover script, but I have no idea how to put text over it. Is it even possible? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! I'm not sure whether this would be html or CSS.. but does anybody know how to get rollover text to popup using html or CSS like I have circled in this screenshot?: http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...eenshot_03.jpg Any help is greatly appreciated. Okay, so I've been seeing these sites with text that you rollover and a box with more info appears. How do you do this? JS? CSS? It's hard to explain, so I'll look for an example. Note to mods: I don't know where this would go, so feel free to move it. EDIT: I know you can use the title attribute, but that's not the same thing Thanks. So I've got this site, www.jackfrankfurter.com/urbanarch.html and I've got a navigation bar across the top. When you first get to the site, the rollovers work fine but once each page has been visited, the text changes to the "visited" color and the rollover color stops working. Is there something I'm doing wrong in my style page? It looks like this: @charset "UTF-8"; /* CSS Document */ body {background:#000000; color:#666666; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;} a:link {color:#CCCCCC; text-decoration:none;} a:hover {color:#71CEEA;} a:visited {text-decoration:none; color:#F96;} img {border:1px #C5DC79;} .thumbnumber {color:#666666; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10px;} Thank you for all your help. It is most appreciated. Yours, Gidmeister I know this is probably really basic stuff .. but i need different colours for the link, rollover and visited state. But i dont want them to be the same throughout the page, i want each to be specific set of colours. Just point me in the direction of where the answer is .. i dont mind reading up! Thanks. i am making a website for my webdesign/JAVA class. On my site i embedded a Left margin sliding menu from http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...lideinmenu.htm I want to make it so that when i rollover a link in the menu, the link changes from its english text to italian. I know for a fact that it is possible to alter the properties of the links inside the menu when i inserted into my <head>: Quote: <style fprolloverstyle>A:hover {color: #FFFF00} a {text-decoration:none} </style> Im new to webdesign, help would be greatly appreciated! on my 'past layouts' section i did a rollover image for each one but the hand cursor shows when you move the mouse over the image, how do i do it so it's just changes pics without changing cursors? is there some way so that i can have the rollover image appear anywhere on the page instead right over the original image?? please help thanks! Hey - I'm in the middle of making a website for our family villa, and was wanting to put on a picture of the floor plan. I thought it'd be a good idea if when you mouse over a room, a big picture of the room shows up - kind of like an image map, only you wouldn't on the room, and the photo would show up over the floor plan (if that makes sense!) Can anyone tell me how to do this please? Thanks!! Hi, if anyone would be able to help me with this issue im having doing an image rollover it would be great. Thank you Is it possible to have an image, that when rolled over changes, and have the changed-rollover image be an image map...without using any java? I know how to do various image rollovers (both with one image that "moves" and two that switch) and I know how to make an image map. I just don't know how to combine them into one thing. Is it possible, and if so, how would I do it? Thanks! Need some help. I had some images in my document and I added rollover images to them. I had one of my images on the left and text to the right and the text was level with the top of the image. Once I changed my single image to the rollover image my text dropped to the bottom and is now begins one row up from the bottom of what is now a rollover image. I haven't been able to figure out why adding the rollover changed the positioning, it looked fine when it was a single image. This is what my line looked like before the rollover: HTML Code: <p class="paragraph_text"><span class="paragraph_text"> <img src="assets/photos/inside.JPG" alt="Inside" name="inside_left" width="200" height="150" align="left" id="inside_left" />We know that each of o after adding the rollover my html now looks like this: HTML Code: <p class="paragraph_text"><span class="paragraph_text">
<a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image13','','assets/photos/longwallacc.JPG',1)"><img src="assets/photos/inside.JPG" alt="pumps & accessorries" name="Image13" width="200" height="150" border="0" id="Image13" /></a>We know that each
This is what my style looked like for the image when it was without the rollover: HTML Code: #inside_left {
clear: none;
float: left;
padding-right: 5px;
border: thin solid #006;
vertical-align: top;
}
I tried creating a new style for the rollover image itself keeping the same styles as I had for the single image but it still has no effect? Any recommedations would be appreciated.

I then want the customer to be able to hover over or click the thumbnails and have the thumbnail become the 'big' image. What's the 'most compatible' way of doing this? I don't really want to go with some fancy scripted solution just to find out that half my customers can't see it because their firewall/AV/popup software etc is stopping it... |
