PI XL - Image Rollover Script

TriniStreetScene.com · Tue Dec 28, 2004 6:48 pm

This script is simply wonderful. But it is not cross browser compatible. It only works in Internet Explorer.

Does anyone have a solution to this or a script that does the same image rollever in targeted cells tat works in IE and Netscape / Mozilla and Opera?

Trini,
checkout the "JavaScript Kit" website at http://www.wsabstract.com/
You can find an excellent selection of fun free codes for your web site. A lot of them work on cross platforms. You can still use PI to create your rollovers, just edit the code afterwards.

Regards,
Erock

Trini,
checkout the "On Mouse Whipper" It's a cool wizard to generate the Java rolover effect for images. Here's the URL:
http://www.javascriptkit.com/mousewhipper/index.htm

Checkout the DHTML for "taking rollovers one step further" It works in both NS4 and IE4 and higher
http://javascriptkit.com/howto/newtech1.shtml

Also, at the Java ScriptKit site, just plug "rollover" into the search box at the the top. You'll get a lot of choices for creating rollovers for images.

i don't want the script to rollover in the same cell.
i wan't it to rollover another cell.

i'm not realy the best webmaster... i suck at coding.

You didn't say what version you're using but I know in some of the prior ones, the generated code had a \ instead of a / in the coding. It worked okay in a "forgiving" browser but it did not work in Netscape and a few others.

To correct, just open your file in notepad and change the \ to a / and it should be just fine.

i have the same problem with PI 10.
i edited the generated html file and changed all the "\" to "/"
there were three in total.

Still the same problem.

Well, I would suggest that you try Lone Wolf's script. You can easily run the mouse over the button and have the image show up in another window. If you want to see what I mean, look at this page http://wwell.net/temp/remote/ it's an example of using a 3-button rollover with things being displayed in a different area. It's a free script and easy to use.

MaryLouW: Thank you for all the help. The last post u made is exaclty the effect i want to achieve. However i was not able to get the "Lone Wolf JavaScript Button III" I got version "II" and it is not very useful. It just swaps the image over image, not image in another cell like i want.
I have emailed photoimpact tech support but they arent avaailabe till january 6th 2005.

thanks again
R.D.

You might want to email Lone Wolf and inquire about the 3-button version. I see it's not available on his site anymore. The 2-button definitely doesn't do what you want.

Feel free to view the source on the page I posted and copy the script from there if it will help. It's the second script. The first one is a rollover for music.

Hope you have a great new year.
