JavaScript - Image Preview ... On Which Mouse Positioned

Hi,
I am working in Dreamweaver CS4 with both HTML and Javascript.
I created a preview area and some thumbnails beneath. Each thumbnail is linked to a full size image. So far, so good.
I'm attempting to follow a Javascript tutorial to make a lightbox.
I added CSS rules and the javascript code (below) in the hopes of having my thumbnail show the image in the clickable preview area when hovering. However, my fullsize image does not display in the preview area. Interestingly, when I hover over the preview, I see at the bottom of my browser that it is still linked, just not displaying. The preview area is blank. Any ideas?
I've put the site online artmarcsimon dot com
Thanks!
Javascript:
Code:

$(document).ready(function(){

$('.gallery_thumbnails a').click(function(e){

e.preventDefault();

$('.gallery_thumbnails a').removeClass('selected');
$('.gallery_thumbnails a').children().css('opacity','1');

$(this).addClass('selected');

var photo_caption = $(this).attr('title');     
var photo_fullsize = $(this).attr('href');
var photo_preview = photo_fullsize.replace('_fullsize','_preview');

$('.gallery_preview').html('<a href="'+photo_fullsize+'" title="'+photo_caption+'" style="background-image:url('+photo_preview+');"></a>');
});                                                  
});

Hi,

I am still designing the website and want some flexibility. I am capturing the mouse clicks fine on top of an image, but the coordinates are absolute and not relative to the image. How can I capture mouse clicks relative to the image so that I can move the image anywhere in my website?

Thanks!

How to mouse over the image then the words will appear below it?

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a javascript script that will load a small image where the mouse is, then it would go away after a couple seconds.

Thanks a bunch!

I Need some help with mouse overs. I have 2 images, Image A and Image B. I need to mouse over Image A and have Image B change. Please help.

Hi,

I am new here, I am trying to find solution for one problem with my new web page, I want to use amazing effect -by mouse draging or swipe on the certain image which should launch animation effect (something like image rotating) -set of images should run dynamicaly and so simulate fluid effect (movie). For a better Idea what I need it can be for example something as physical lever switch with spring when this switch is slightly tilted spring complete this action and switch is flipped to other state. Or another example image of book should be on web and when someone drag and pull page this should independently continue and complete action - turn to new page.

So my question .. is something like that possible with javascript if yes can You please point me where I have look or how this can be done, each advice will be valuable for me or maybe javascript isnt right choice for this can You advise me?

THANKS

Example of my problem:
HERE

The code is derived from a site offering some advice for javascript:
HERE

The example of mine tries to use an image as hyperlink... and use mouse events for certain actions.

Aside from possibly being the worst javascript code humanly possible...once I slaughtered the code from the site mentioned above, I'm not getting how to arrange things so that a mouse over event switches an image , as does mousedn and mouseup, And (and this is the rub for me) repeating the setup in the same way for a list of quicktime video links.

I've got it to work for one row in the table I'm using to attempt some kind of formatting.

I'm told `css' is a better way for that but I'm completely ignorant about how to use `css'. So, for now I'm using a table to get at the javascript question.

The idea is for viewer to see three red dots at the front of each item being offered.

Mouseover is supposed to switch to a green arrow... mousedn is supposed to switch to 2 check marks. I wanted the check marks to persist, so for lack of knowing how to accomplish that... I let mouseup call the same image. (the check marks; Maybe just omitting any directive for mouseup would have the same effect?)

About the `image persisting after being clicked' question: It is really a separate question so I will probably start a different thread for that.

What I've done works for one list item... but fails for more than one.

The only active member of the list (2 in my example) is the bottom one. mouse events on the top one are carried out on the bottom one.

I tried to just change the name of all variables in the javascript, and the name given in the `img src=' section of the html code, for the second row... but clearly not what is needed. I changed the names shown below by incrementing the number in the names by 1.
I've only posted one row's worth but the next row uses the same code with the variables incremented.

And hopefully someone will look at the actual example (URL given above) and see the full code.

The basic code I've put here for convience.:

Code:

<table>
<tr>
<td valign=top >
<A href="./t2.html" onMouseOver="return changeImage()" onMouseOut= "return changeImageBack()" 
onMouseDown="return handleMDown()" onMouseUp="return handleMUp()"
><img
name="jsbutton_0" src="./3dots.png" border="0" 
alt="javascript button"></A> some nice video 
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
var myimgobj_0 = document.images["jsbutton_0"];

function changeImage()
{
document.images["jsbutton_0"].src= "./aro1r-mo.png";
return true;
}
function changeImageBack() 
{
 document.images["jsbutton_0"].src = "./3dots.png";
 return true;
}
function handleMDown()
{
	document.images["jsbutton_0"].src = "./checks.png";
	return true;
}
function handleMUp()
{
        document.images["jsbutton_0"].src = "./checks.png";
	return true;
}
</SCRIPT>
</tr>

Hi all,

First post here in a long time, I'm finally getting round to sorting out a portfolio website.

I have a rollover image which has a mouse over and down action and a table cell which has a mouse over and down action which swaps the assigned css class.

What i need to happen is when i mouse over the table cell containing the rollover image the table cell below switches the style assigned to it.

I have it working the other way around so when you mouse over the bottom cell the image in the top cell swaps, see he
http://onebitrocket.co.uk/swapimageandtext.html

I'm basically looking for an action similar to a swap image in a cell which has it's ID defined

onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image4','','images/thumbs/th04.jpg',1)"

so onmouseover="MM_swapstyle...

Any help would be great

Thanks

hi everyone,

firstly to call myself a noob would be inflating my ego. I have done one project in javascript so far and have had no schooling on the topic, however I have learned quite a lot in the last few months from this thing called the 'internet'. So far I managed to make an html image map that has various tooltips which will appear onmouseover, and the tooltip disappears onmouseout. Each point of coords that i have defined has a hyperlink to a different page on the internet. It works just like i wanted it to and i couldn't be happier, that is, when i'm using a mouse...

When i am using a touchscreen device it is a different story. specifically i'm trying to port my html page to android as i figured it would be easy with the android sdk and webview (it was, but read on). What i found when i used the 'app' on my phone was that onmouseover works when you touch the screen, however it also registers as a click, so pop goes the tooltip, and i'm whisked away to my webpage. not the desired result.

Ideally I would like to hold down the screen for 3 seconds and then the hyperlink would activate, but i decided that just getting the thing functional would suffice for the time beaing so i tried to include some 'ondblclick' that would trigger a document.location. This worked fine on a web browser again, but had no result on the touchscreen. I decided to abandon this half step because I have read that ondblclick doesn't work in an image map and it isn't my intended result anyway.

I have found a lot of javascript and jquery samples that emulate the onHold event that i'm trying to achieve, both on this forum and all over the internet, however these samples are overly complex and are focused on looping an action, such as incrementally increasing a value or zooming or whatever. I just want to redirect the user to another page if they trigger 'onmousedown' for 3 seconds.

anybody want to trade some help for a thankyou?

want to get selected text and image values .Since there is an randomly changed text and image on my page.I used window.getSelection() but this will return only selected text values not images ..so please guide me to solve this problem.

In homePage(1 photo) and in Gallery(9 photos) at
http://www.pafos-wedding.com/
I setup mouse rollover functionality > bigger photo...but bigger image appear below smaller...what to do appear next to smaller, so top side of both photos are on same line?

I would like to create a print preview window that will display only the main content of the page that a person would really want to print. I found a script that didn't do that, but that I was able to adapt, somewhat. It doesn't fully work though and I can't get it any better. Here is what I have...

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function displayHTML(printContent) {
var inf = printContent;
win = window.open("print.htm", 'popup', 'toolbar = no, status = no');
win.document.write(inf);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="printarea">Print this stuff.</div>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="displayHTML(printarea.innerHTML)">Print Preview</a>
</body>
</html>

In mozilla it opens the new window but continues to be thinking about something indefinitly. In Safari the new window opens but there is no content. In IE it seems to work fine. I haven't tested NS yet, nor have I tested any of this on a PC.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I've been inherited a website from another web developer and I need to fix his code. In one part of the admin system, the user selects a template for the newsletter to use, types the subject and body text into a form, then submits it using a submit button. There is no problem with this code and the user is able to send newsletters out using the standard template (there is only one template). However, they require a preview button to check it looks how they want it to on the template. to get to the preview page (preview_mailing.php?template=1), there is a Javascript preview button, which uses the following code:
Code:

<script>
				function get_radio_value()
				{
				for (var i=0; i < document.add_form.template.length; i++)
				   {
				   if (document.add_form.template[i].checked)
					  {
					  return rad_val = document.add_form.template[i].value;
					  }
				   }
				}

				</script>

            <a href="javascript:;" title="Preview" target="_self" class="button" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('preview_mailing.php?template=' + get_radio_value(),'preview','scrollbars=yes,width=600,height=800');return false">Preview</a>			
    <br/>

When you click on this button, however, it does absolutely nothing and shows javascript:; as the link, but I'm sure this is what it is meant to show as the link?

I am setting up a store for stationery. One cool aspect is for the online user to be able to type in what they want on the stationery, choose the font, and hit a "PREVIEW" button, showing an exact preview of what it should look like.

I am having trouble on how to do this. Virtuemart and its forums are useless and helpless. Joomla suprisingly doesn't have an extension for this. Looks like I'm gonna have to hard code this baby. What would the best angle be to attack this? Should I try some interactive flash/AS3 or some good ol JS? There will be over 500 products so I am trying to pick YOUR expert brain before I tackle this beast. Thanks for any input!
