Hi

I've downloaded Version 4.21 and implemented it into my page.

It basically works, but unfortunately the pic that is shown is always
in the upper left part of the browser-window and does not follow the
mouse or show close to the Hyperlink.

These is the configuration of the file:
if (typeof ol_fgcolor=='undefined') var ol_fgcolor="";
if (typeof ol_bgcolor=='undefined') var ol_bgcolor="#800000";

and that's how I call it in the link:

<a href="#" onMouseOver="return overlib('<img
src="/imgs/img-thb.jpg">');" onMouseOut="return nd();">

It's the same in IE 6.0 and in FireFox 3.0

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Please provide an URL to the page having problems.  As for following
the mouse please check the value of your FOLLOWMOUSE parameter to see
that it is set properly.  Also if the popup appears in the upper left
hand corner it means that your cursor position hasn't been set yet
since the default values are mouse_x=mouse_y=0.  As already mentioned
an URL to the problem page would be most helpful.

Hi,

this code is working well for IE and not for Firefox. The small popup
in Firefox has a totally different color and font size.

Here is the code:

<img src="image.png"  alt="" title="" onmouseover="return
overlib('Please enter a text here.', CAPTION, 'Text');"
onmouseout="return nd();" />


Thanks

Hi

Thanks for your reply. I can't give you an URL, it's on an intranet.
But I got the error. It somehow didn't work together with qTip,
another similar JavaScript tool. I have removed qTip now and now it's
working as it should.

Glad you got it to work for you.  Most likely the problem is that both
utilities were trying to grab the onmousemove event.  You could try
getting them both to work by making sure that overlib is loaded after
your qTip utility because overlib checks to see if the onmousemove
event if being captured and then daisy chains the two together.

Its kind of hard to diagnose what may be happening with this small
amount of information.  An URL to the problem page would be most
helpful. Most likely you're getting some CSS style rule effects since
an overlib popup is made up of least two or more nested tables.  Check
to see if you have style rules being applied to TR, TD, or TABLE since
these will also affect your popups.

I use Overlib to display a video and placed a CLOSECLICK so the user
can click to end the video.  However, even the the video goes away, it

The video displays via an onclick.

Yes, just use the onclick event but don't include the "return" as done
with the onmouseover event.  Be warned however that if the link takes
you to a new page the popup will immediately go away. You might want
to check the overlib archives because that question has been answered
quite frequently.

We would like to add a border to the hover boxes in our design. The
following URL will bring you to a page with two EXAMPLE links, both
have BORDER, 2 parameter set, but the borders are not visible.  No
matter that size BORDER you select, none is shown.

I experimented with setting the background color to WHITE, the
foreground text color to BLACK with same results, no border.

Subject: Clicking on Popup Page closes popup and refresh Parent page
n13apr
Send Email Send Email
 

Hello,

 

I am using overlib to show an ASPX page as popup. For this I am using a function which returns the HTML of the page with an url :

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="overlib(getCallOut('http://beta.abc.com/Details_popup.aspx?Comp=aa'),STICKY,CAPTION, ' ', CLOSETEXT, closetext2, CLOSECLICK);">                        Link</a>

 

The page "Details_popup.aspx" has a tab control and on change of tab the page is postback to itself.

My problem is that whenever I try to change tab by clicking on the popup page, my popup is closed and the parent page is refreshed.

How can I stop this and just refresh the popup page only.

 

Kindly help me.

 

Regards,

 

Neha

I replied to this with an example, the same day you posted it, but my

Strange.

Anyway, the jist of my reply was to try using '#000000' and '#ffffff'

The only thing that I can suggest is that you take a look at the
unofficial plugin called Positioncap (particularly the SRC command) to
see if that might work better for you.  Be sure to specify both a
height and width in the call.  Scrollbars will be generated if they
are needed.  This plugin is described in the file
http://overlib.boughner.us/plugins/positioncap_commands.html from
which you also get the source code.

I've followed the instructions for setting up the program. The pop-ups
work fine. But I am unable to change the font size!

I've updated the overlib.js file and also set up the parameters on the
individual page, thinking one would overwrite the other.

ex: STICKY, MOUSEOFF, CAPTION, 'Track Title: $tracks_title', FGCOLOR,
'#999999', BGCOLOR, '#333333', BORDER, 4, CAPTIONFONT, 'Arial',
TEXTFONT, 'Arial', TEXTSIZE, 2
(this code is contained in a php ECHO statement. the pop-up
information is only available once a user is logged in)


Using one ot the other, or both - I still see the font sixe does not
change. It seems everything else works except for this.

Suggestions?

Check to see that you have no conflicts with any css rules.  Overlib
popups are made up of two or more nested tables and if you have any
rules for TR, TD and/or TABLE they will also affect your popups.  If
this doesn't help then please post an URL to the page in question so
that we can take a look at it.

This script WILL NOT work when it is contained inside a TABLE!

If you mean by "script" the code for overlib that is not true.  Popups
will work if the links are part of a table's cell content.

I have been searching, and searching for the control for the font color
in the main body (link).  I have been able to change the colors in the
tool tip, but I can't figure out what is controlling the font color for
the link.  Thanks in advance.

Michael,

Those colors are being controlled by the settings in your browser.  If
you want to over-ride them, I suggest that you define custom classes
for the body text, caption text, and close text and set them to your
preference.  You'll have to do this for the link, visited, hover and
active links in general.  You would do something like this:

1. in your head section add the following:
<style type="text/css">
.bodyText {font: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;}

.bodyText a:link {color: YOURLINKCOLOR;}
.bodyText a:visited {color: YOURVISTEDCOLOR;}
...
</style>

your bodyText controls the style of the lettering in your main popup
text.  It would namely specify the main font tyle, size and coloring.

2. then call your popup with the following options included:

overlib(..., TEXTFONTCLASS,'bodyText', ...)

and that's it.  You can take a look at the page
http://overlib.boughner.us/plugins/cssw3c_commands.html, particularly
the style rules used in the head section for the examples on this page
rather than the commands themselves.  You would have to do the same
thing for your popups.

Robert,
Thanks for responding.  I was writing the css code wrong and I
couldn't figure out what was the issue.  I forgot the a: for the
style name.  I kept thinking it was overlib that was giving me
headaches.

Thanks a million.
MJ

Glad that I was able to help out.

Here's a clarification:

This script does work inside a table, but not completely. Let me explain.

1. There is no way to change the font size or face using either the
'in code' method or the style sheet method.

2. Some information does not pop up AT ALL. There MAY be some
delimiting characters causing this problem. Since I am using this with
a database, each row has different information, some of which may
contain unacceptable characters.

--- If anyone has had this problem, please let me know. ---


If anyone needs to see this, I will need to program a page not
requiring you to be a member to view the information displayed on the
pop-up.
