JavaScript - Instructional Step Tooltips Upon First Visit.
Hi there,
I was wondering if there were any scripts (or if you could build be one) which allow first-time visitors to read through step by step tooltips which explain features of a system. For example, users could click on "next" to make that tooltip dissapear, and the next tooltip reappear. ANy help would be great, Thanks Similar TutorialsI am trying to get these Mootool Tooltips to work: http://demos111.mootools.net/Tips Nothing on the internet seems up to date or valid. I can NOT get these to work. I have been consistently trying for two days. I'm not an expert at coding, but I'm good enough to produce something like this: http://www.starforge.us/apply/ Okay, so what I need this for is a module. When you hover over the image, a description will come up. It needs to follow the mouse, as long as it is inside the image. I need the style to look just like what is provided. It gives you the JS code, the HTML code, and a CSS code. They have a webpage that tells you what things do, but I've tried. I've called their core framework, and nothing happens, added the JS code to the framework, nothing, added css framework, nothing. I can NOT get this to work. If anyone knows ANYTHING or has a functioning download of that, ALL FILES INCLUDED. So I can just switch the cow to my stupid image and change the text, it would be most appreciated. I need this for a website my boyfriend is doing. I've looked at buying other tooltips but NONE of them have the functionality that Mootools has. Complete list of the codes would be great. All I need is one image with descriptive text, please. We have standards, so I will accept nothing of less quality than what is above. It doesn't have to be mootools, it just has to look like it and function like it. I can't get ANYTHING to work, protools, etc. etc. People only link code EXAMPLES. I need a file I can sift through that actually WORKS. Something I can play around with, and if it works, I can THEN FIGURE OUT WHY. For some reason, when it comes to tooltips, I'm handed a bunch of crap files that DON'T WORK and at that point, I don't know how to fix them... Thank you VERY much for ANY help. If you have a link to the code that I can BUY it with I will. Willing to pay $5.00 for them if you can produce one that looks EXACTLY like the mootools or whatever. (that's what they're going for on codecanyon.net). Please help. I'm really sick of these stupid tooltips. :P Hi. I have an interactive house on my website with an image map that different areas link to pages when clicked on. A short title when mouse hovers over. I want to make this look better, better display of text when mouse hovers over, and textbox below image that gives a descrpition of the area selected. Does anyone have a simple way I could do this? I am using wordpress. Thanks, James I use this tooltip script on my site: http://craigsworks.com/projects/simpletip/ The problem is that I have several links in the same div class and I want to load different content in tooltip when the mouse is over different links. This is the code I use to load tooltip: Code: $(document).ready(function(){ // Create your tooltips var api = $(".ttip a").simpletip().simpletip(); api.load('include.php'); }); This is the HTML code: Code: <div class="ttip"> <a userid="1" href="#" >user1</a><br /> <a userid="2" href="#">user2</a> </div> Now the tooltip works only for the first link. For the second one only some default text is shown instead when I hover it! Can anyone please help? Hi. I'm using a tooltip javascript from this website: http://sixrevisions.com/tutorials/ja...cript_tooltip/ This is what it looks like when it's working smoothly: http://sandbox.leigeber.com/tooltip/ To fix scrolling issues, I changed (near the lower bottom, under "pos:function(e)"): var u = ie ? event.clientY + document.documentElement.scrollTop : e.pageY; to: var l = ie ? event.clientX + document.documentElement.scrollLeft : e.pageX; I'm using these tooltips for an image map that has 1,000 defined areas. In Firefox, everything works very smoothly. Everything works well and looks smooth/visually pleasing. But in IE, the tooltips are "choppy" and "staticy". They work well when I continuously move my mouse over the image map without stopping. But when I completely stop the cursor on a part of the image map for about 1 full second, and then move my mouse, the tooltip stays where it is even though the mouse has moved. It then takes between 1 - 2 seconds for the tooltip to "catch up" and move to be next to the mouse/cursor - where it is supposed to be. Also, I must note that when I only have a few (like 3 or 4) defined areas for the image map, the tooltip works perfectly fine and smoothly in IE. I'm very new to html and javascript, and so I'm finding myself at a bit of a loss as to why this is occuring. Can anyone offer any help as to how I can make this tooltip go smoothly between defined areas (not sure if that's the correct terminology) of the image map? I'm new to javascript, and so, unsure of which parts could be causing the problems. However, I think it might have to do with the part from pos:function(e) on. If needs be, I'd be happy to post the full javascript code. Code: pos:function(e){ var u = ie ? event.clientY + document.getElementById('bodyid').scrollTop : e.pageY; var l = ie ? event.clientX + document.documentElement.scrollLeft : e.pageX; tt.style.top = (u - h) + 'px'; tt.style.left = (l + left) + 'px'; } Hello. I'm trying to set up a login formular with PHP and JavaScript/jQuery. Currently it sends an alert box, if some information are wrong. If correct, it refreshes the page, and everyone's happy. However, I noticed upon the first visit, I cannot log in. Lets say I go to www.mysite.com and try to login, it displays a blank alert box, when it's suppose to display the username, that I supplied, and is wrong... however, it's blank. BUT! If I go to another page and login with false informations, an alert box with the wrong username pops up - if I login with correct informations, it works. How come it won't work on first visit? What am I doing wrong here? Pressing F5 won't work either - I have to manually switch to another page for it to work. Any suggestions and ideas are welcome and appreciated. I'll supply the codes necessary for anyone to help me, but at this point I'm completely blank on which of my codes may be the problem. EDIT - IMPORTANT INFORMATION! Now THIS is weird! I just noticed it's because there's not www. in the URL. There has to be www. for it to work, why is this? I forced the client to have www. in the URL with .htaccess, but I'd still like to know, why this problem occurs without it. Hello all; I am doing a site for a local business that uses radio advertising and has a jingle that they want to play once per visit only (so it does not play over again of they return to the same page later that day). I have tried to use yahoo player, Google player and the infamous wma player and all work well. I especially like the yahoo player but as will all the players I could not find a way to have it only play once per day per visitor. Is there a way to accomplish this? I was thinking using a tracking cookie but have no idea how to implement it. In the end I would like to accomplish the following: mp3 plays automatically on page load audio only playes once per day per visitor hava small player so if the visitorr wants to hear the jingle again they can do so. the player should be compact and cross browser compatible. Should be compatible with HTML 5.0 Transitional or at the very least 4.01 Any help would be appreciated. I have a site using Grey Box pop up ( http://therdkgroup.com/) . It automatically pops up when you go to any of the 5 pages on the site. Is it possible to add a cookie to it so that it only pop up the first time someone comes to any one of the pages? If so, can you point me in the right direction on how to solve this?? Hi all, I'm trying to find what I'm sure is a simple bit of js which I can use that will close a div for the duration of a users visit as it would hide a notice I'd only want to display once on a site. Essentially all I'd want to do is have a simple div with a paragraph and a link to close the div but to have it remember across pages that the user has dismissed the notice. I noticesearched around and found a similar request here but I don't know js enough to replace the inputs in the example to a simple link and to remove the show div functionality. Anyone able to provide me with any pointers on how I'd be able to achieve this? Many thanks, J. I'd seriously appreciate some guidance with the following:- The site in question: http://www.professorbet.com/2010/football2010win.php The problem: Popups work fine, as they open the mini thumbnails when you mouseover. However, as you scroll down the page, the images move with you. So, if you mouseover'd the top result (having not scrolled down) the graph would appear when it was supposed to. However, if you scrolled down 200px, and then mouseover'd the top result (or any result), the thumbnail would popup 200px lower than it should. The guide site I used: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...agetooltip.htm - it doesn't happen on their site (potentially because they're not as stupid as me). I set up a dummy site of their site: http://www.professorbet.com/1.htm - I just copied the source code for everything and changed literally nothing. It still happens on my version of the site. If this is a simple fix that anyone knows, I would love the help. If not, I'll just continue crying myself to sleep. Thank you in advance!

First post here! Would really appreciate some help on a javascript that would display the time elapsed since a particular visitor last visited my webpage, using cookies. So basically it should show something like: "You last visited my page 2 days & 12 mins ago!" I've a little background in java but none in javascript... Thanks so much! I was trying to display time of last visit along with login name.. can someone help me on this pls? <script type='text/javascript'> $(window).load(function () { $('area').each(function (e) { var area = $(this), alt = area.attr('id'); if (alt != null) { area.mouseenter(function () { var newImage = $('<img />'); newImage.attr('src', 'ReadImage.ashx?id=' + alt); // call handler with id $('.display').append(newImage); }; } e.preventDefault(); }); }); </script> <div class="display"> </div> <img src="3rd_Floor_screen-size.jpg" width="1372" height="906" border="0" alt="" usemap="#Map" /></div> <map name="Map" id="Map"> <area id="1" alt="1" class="tooltip" shape="rect" coords="28, 87, 93, 181" href="#"/> <area id="2" alt="2" class="tooltip" shape="rect" coords="95, 91, 172, 158" href="#"/> <area id="3" alt="3" class="tooltip" shape="rect" coords="175, 90, 225, 157" href="#"/> </map> I am gettting image on mouseover, if i over the mouse on area id =1. That id 1 will be passed to the ashx page through the script. The ashx page returns my image from the database. I am loading that image in the div display. Now what i need is i have to display the image as a tooltip not in a div........ For example: Visit this following website. http://visitmix.com/labs/glimmer/samples/tooltip.html Can anybody suggest me a solution to do this? I know there is an easy way to do this...... i have brought 60 percent. Now what i need is i have to get this image as a tooltip when i move the mouse over the area id =1.. Thanks Can a random page be loaded without a prior visit to a site? I have a list of 15 people with a photo and contact information in a table with 3 columns and 5 rows. The issue is that the people near the bottom want a chance to be at the top the first time the page is viewed. It is unlikely that a second visit would happen. Is this possible to load a random page for a site without it being viewed or logged into before, therefore no cookies will be used. My knowledge of Java script code is limited so any help would be great. Thanks Motty Hi everyone. New to javascript here.... I have a problem here. I know how to store a cookie and check a cookie... but i don't know how to calculate the time between current visit and previous visit... Example. I logged in @ 1pm and logged in again @ 3pm... It should a msg like "your last visit was 2 hours ago" Can any one enlighten me ? Thank you! I have a scenario where I show a drop-down-with-few-items in a JSP page, to the user. The length of few options in the drop down is greater than that of the drop down's, hence our requirement is to show the hovered (not selected) option as tooltip for user's convenience. I am not able to use title attribute for displaying tooltips in my browser. Now the code in http://dossett.org/11/No_onmouseover_for_options_in_IE/ implements a tooltip for multiple select drop down menu.Can you modify the code for single select Site in question: www.yourvancouvermortgagebroker.ca/apply On the 3rd step of this form, I want to add a "SKIP" button that will send the user to the 5th step. No clue how to do this, as someone else helped me code. Thank You! Relevant code javascript file: Code: //step 3 $('#submit_third').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#third_step input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); //ckeck if inputs aren't empty var fields = $('#third_step input[type=text]'); var error = 0; fields.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<1 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] || ( $(this).attr('id')=='cemail' && !emailPattern.test(value) ) ) { $(this).addClass('error'); $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); } }); if(!error) { //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('60% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','204px'); //slide steps $('#third_step').slideUp(); $('#fourth_step').slideDown(); } else return false; }); //step 4 $('#submit_fourth').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#fourth_step input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); var fields = $('#fourth_step input[type=text]'); var error = 0; fields.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<1 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')]) { $(this).addClass('error'); $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); } }); if(!error) { //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('80% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','272px'); //slide steps $('#fourth_step').slideUp(); $('#fifth_step').slideDown(); } }); // step 5 $('#submit_fifth').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#fifth_step input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); I need to figure out the on page button code, what I need to add to the javascript file AND what I need to add in the CSS.
