i'm having a bit of a problem here. I found this script on the web, and changed it around a bit for my needs.
This script shows a preview of the image following the mouse onmouseover.
Originally, there was only one way of doing this. But i have 2 different sections on my website in which i want to display images with different attributes (height, width).
I was able to do that, the problem is that on the second section, the src (file name) is a thumbnail of the actual picture i want to display, so when it dows, it just blows up a very small picture, which looks very bad. But hopefully, this will make things easier: all the thumbnails are named whaterver_small.jpg and the originals, whatever.jpg Now, if i could remove _small or _small.jpg and replace with .jpg from the end of that file, that would display the original picture for me, which would be great. This is how the funcion is called on html:
Original size, no need changing:
<a href=http://www.whatever.net/1.html');">
<img alt="Copper" border="1" height="64" src="http://www.whatever.net/whatever_small.jpg" width="85" onmouseover="showImage1(this.src,this,'Whatever')" /></a>
Show image2, the one i'm having problems with.
<a href=http://www.whatever.net/1.html');">
<img alt="Copper" border="1" height="64" src="http://www.whatever.net/whatever_small.jpg" width="85" onmouseover="showImage2(this.src,this,'Whatever')" /></a>
This is the script
var floatWidth = 150; // set the width of the floating image
var floatHeight = 100; // set its height
var floatWidth2 = 320; // set the width of the floating image
var floatHeight2 = 240; // set its height

getMidWindow();

Update:
Ok, so i updated the script in this page, and it works perfectly now.
I ran into another problem, when the picture that has the mouse over, is near the end of the page, the preview is cutoff. I'd like to be able to move the preview up, so there's no scroll bar.
Here's a live example of a functional one: http://www.soccer.com/Navigation.process?Ne=178&N=4294960224+346
Where the picture is never cutoff.
Replace following line in the showImage2 function
nIMG.setAttribute('src',isImg);
with
nIMG.setAttribute('src',isImg.replace(/_small\./, '.'));
This will remove all _small matches from all of your image sources, if I'm understanding what you want correctly:
$("img").each(function() {
$(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("src").replace("/_small(?=\.)/", ""));
});

Im trying to write text on a div that comes from this code:
var resume = document.createElement("div");
resume.style.position = "fixed";
resume.style.height = 0.1*canvas.height + "px";
resume.style.width = 0.4*canvas.width + "px";
resume.style.bottom = 0.75*canvas.height + "px";
resume.style.left = 0.3*canvas.width + "px";
resume.style.backgroundColor = "Black";
resume.style.opacity = "0.8";
resume.textAlign = "center";
resume.color = "White";
resume.p = "efege";
document.body.appendChild(resume);
and is situated on this canvas
var canvas = document.getElementById("Canvy");
var b = canvas.getContext("2d");
b.canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
b.canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
why isn't my text showing up?
How would I get text to appear using resume.(some command here)?
I Figured Out I just needed to create another element and appendChild it to the Div.
In case anyone wanted to know.
Heres the code
var x = document.createElement("SPAN");
resume.appendChild(x);
x.textContent = "anytext";
I have 3 files with php and js. in first file i load some information and show it to user, then user can change them. for show other information to user i reload part of my page with some code that they are in second php file. i put them in <div id='show_album'>my data</div> and change them with second php file.
for first run my javascript code work fine, but after reloading part of page it never work. what must i change in code that it work after reloading?!
this is part of code that can reload div element with ajax:
<select onchange="showList('showalbum.php?change=',this.value,'show_album')"><option value='1'>1</option> <option value='2'>2</option></select>
in this part of code that in first page i reload my div element with new data.
then in new data i have something like this:
size of picture: 460*345
that show picture link to user and when user click on it, with javascript i show it to user on this page and on my other information that user can close it.but now this rel="lightbox" don't work and when user click on link, this picture open in same window.
this is my javascript code and in <head> i define it:

}
#lightboxDetails {

padding-top: 0.4em;
}
#lightboxCaption {
float: left;
}
#keyboardMsg {
float: right;
}
#closeButton {
top: 5px;
right: 5px;
}
#lightbox img {
border: none;
clear: both;
}
#overlay img {
border: none;
}
#overlay {
background: url(../LightBox/overlay.png);
}
* html #overlay {
background-color: #000;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader( src="../LightBox/overlay.png", sizingMethod="scale");
filter: alpha(opacity=70);
opacity: 0.7;
}
i think this code just run one time on window.load() and after i reload part of page it can't load again and don't work.
how i can resolve this problem?
tnks for reading my question...
Because to new html elements added after you need to recall all functions that work with it, for example recall functions that is called on document is created
When you get result from ajax and put it on html page, after write initLightbox();
You need to add initLightbox() here and change them with second php file. for first run my javascript
But you not write that code and I can't help you.
I can say only, put initlightbox after code where you receive response with ajax after lines where you insert new html elements.
I am writing a box that appears in the center of a website. To do that I dynamically (js) create two elements - overlay that covers whole page and has 0.5 opacity to show some website, and a box that should have no opacity.
The problem is that both the overlay and the box are a bit transparent.
this.createOverlay = function () {
handler = document.createElement('div');
handler.style.display = 'hidden';
handler.style.width = '100%';
handler.style.height = '100%';
handler.style.top = 0;
handler.style.left = 0;
handler.style.position = 'absolute';
handler.style.background = 'black';
handler.style.color = "#aaaaaa";
handler.style.opacity = "0.5";
handler.style.filter = "alpha(opacity = 5)";
return this;
};
this.createCenteredBox = function (width, height, url) {
var data = JSON.parse(data);
handler = document.createElement('a');
handler.href = data.product_feed_deep_link;
handler.target = "_blank";
handler.style.display = "block";
handler.style.width = width + "px";
handler.style.height = height + "px";
handler.style.position = "absolute";
handler.style.color = "black";
handler.style.backgroundColor = "#ffffff";
handler.style.opacity = "1";
handler.style.top = "50%";
handler.style.left = "50%";
handler.style.marginTop = "-" + height / 2 + "px";
handler.style.marginLeft = "-" + width / 2 + "px";
handler.style.padding = "0 10px 10px 10px";
handler.style.borderRadius = "4px";
var div = document.createElement('div');
handler.appendChild(div);
return this;
};
This is the code, I can't turn off box'es opacity no matter if I set opacity to 1 on it, or opacity filter, or whatever.
How can I solve this?
Opacity isn't inherited (see here), however, all elements that reside inside (descendants) of that elements that the opacity property is applied to will be effected.
The best way to get around this is to use rgba.
handler.style.background = "rgba(0, 0, 0, .5)"; // RGB 0,0,0 is #000 (black).
//handler.style.opacity = "0.5";
//handler.style.filter = "alpha(opacity = 5)";
See 2nd and 3rd answer here as well
I am trying to overlay text onto a hyperlinked image which has been dynamically created using the document.createElement() function. However, even with an absolute position of left: 0px and top: 0px, the text keeps appearing below the image, and not at the top, left corner as it should:
//mainDiv is a container to hold all the hyperlinked images
for (i = 0; i < imgArray.length; i++)
{
img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = imgArray[i].src;
img.style.width = imgArray[i].wdth;
img.style.height = "auto";
imgLink = document.createElement("a");
imgLink.href = imgArray[i].url;
imgLink.appendChild(img);
imgLabel = document.createElement("p");
imgLabel.innerHTML = imgArray[i].desc;
imgLabel.style.position = "absolute";
imgLabel.style.top = "0px";
imgLabel.style.left = "0px";
imgContainer = document.createElement("div");
imgContainer.style.display = "inline";
imgContainer.style.position = "relative";
imgContainer.appendChild(imgLabel);
imgContainer.appendChild(imgLink);
mainDiv.appendChild(imgContainer);
}
The only problem is the positioning of the text div, imgLabel.
Here's a simplified example of the issue on jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mPL3q/1/
block & inline-block does not work: http://jsfiddle.net/MwjXV/
1st solution
// label
imgLabel.style.position = "absolute";
imgLabel.style.top = "0px";
imgLabel.style.left = "0px";
imgLabel.style.margin = '0px';
// container
imgContainer.style.position = "relative";
// tip: parent element of another element containing floated elements
// should have property overflow set to hidden
imgContainer.style.float = "left";
imgContainer.style.margin = "5px";
2nd solution
// label
imgLabel.style.position = "absolute";
imgLabel.style.top = "0px";
imgLabel.style.left = "0px";
imgLabel.style.margin = "0px";
// container
imgContainer.style.display = "inline-block";
imgContainer.style.position = "relative";
// you will have gaps between the containers even if the margin is set to 0
imgContainer.style.margin = "0px";
// if you don't want these gaps, set margin-left to -5px (but not to the first element)
if(i !== 0){
imgContainer.style.marginLeft = "-5px";
}
EDIT After analyzing your code...
// change <p> to <label>
imgLabel = document.createElement("label");
imgLabel.innerHTML = "Image " + i;
imgLabel.style.left = "0px";
// you don't need the next line ;)
//imgLabel.style.top = "0px";
imgLabel.style.color = "White";
imgLabel.style.position = "absolute";

You can do this, add
img.style.zIndex="1";
and
imgLink.style.display = "block";
to their respective blocks
http://jsfiddle.net/mPL3q/8/
OR
if inline-block works for you then
imgContainer.style.display = "inline-block";

// If you are getting errors in IE see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/927917
var tbody = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
var tnode = document.createElement('div'); // Create the layer.

My problem is I'm trying to get some text to show up on the transparent layer but I can't get it to work. Any thoughts?
Your text node is created on overlay but is invisible cause of text color.
check Fiddle where text color is set to red.
dark.style.color = 'red';
