Glad that v4.00 fixed your problems.  There were a lot of changes in
that version versus 3.51 that corrected a lot of problems and one of
those were how the mouse's position was being determined.  That got
corrected very early in the cycle.

I would say offhand that you could do the same thing that is done in
the page that you reference here but I can't say for sure since I
haven't looked at it recently.  Why don't you give it a try?

Its not really hard.  First of all make sure you add the hash mark (#)
to all of your hexadecimal numbers like bgcolor="#9c9c9c".  I
understand that IE will work if you skip this but the newer Netscape
browsers won't since they are much more standards compliant.  Second,
you don't need to change the definition of ol_frame, generally.  In
the frame where you want the have a popup make sure you have the div
container defined -- <div id="overDiv" style="position: ...."></div>.
You'll generally also have this declaration in the frame where you
load the overlib source code.  You only have to do that in that frame.
  You don't need to load the overlib source code in the target frame.
Third, make your call as
onmouseover="return overlib('text', FRAME, parent.page_bottom);"
onmouseout="return nd();">
and see if that helps you out.  If you're still having trouble look at
  the example shown in http://overlib.boughner.us/CrossFrameStickies/
and take a look at the page source for each page.  This example has
two levels of nested frames.

Thanks Tim for sharing that with the newsgroup.  I'm sure that those
who are using PHP and overlib together will find this very useful.

I think I will give it the 'ol grad school try.
And about why I have so jolly many div items...
I am starting a really, really large website.  I am going to have
articles that I want to keep for a long time on there, and I want
them to be able to alter the formatting as much as I can.

For instance, say I want to place the headings just above and to the
left of the small blocks of text they represent?  Not too hard with
CSS.  A royal pain with tables.

Also...I saw www.csszengarden.com and got a little CSS-happy.  But I
think it is working out nicely, because I can really easily format
all sorts of stuff.  And, it seems to force me to have to learn a lot
of things I wouldn't have otherwise known.  (For instance, I now know
more about HTML & CSS than I ever thought I would.)

I'll let you know how the "replace close text with a graphic" thing
works out.

I'm not really sure what it is that you want to do but I would suggest
that you look into the RELX/Y commands that were introduced in v4.00
(http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/ Command Reference page).  These
commands allow one to position a popup relative to the browser window
and they accept negative values so that a negative argument to RELY
will position the popup that distance above the bottom of the browser
window.

Subject: Is there a mistake in overLIB 4.00? adoptedbyhis...
Send Email

I was wondering if there was a mistake in the code of overLIB 4.00.

I'm not an expert, that is why I am asking. :)

When I look at the code, at line 1003, it looks like there is an
extra ' that causes the rest of the code to look like one gigantic
string.

Is that deliberate? Is it supposed to do that?

Thanks for any insight!

Which code are you referring to?  The Core module or one of the
plugins; the full code or the mini version?  If it is the core module
then that has been checked out and it works fine for both the full and
mini versions.

Core module, 4.00, mini version.  Here's the code:


// Quotes Multi word font names; needed for CSS Standards adherence
in font-family
function quoteMultiNameFonts(theFont) {
	 var v, pM=theFont.split(',');
	 for (var i=0; i<pM.length; i++) {
		 v=pM[i];
		 v=v.replace(/^\s+/,'').replace(/\s+$/,'');
/*THIS LINE*/ if(/\s/.test(v) && !/['"]/.test(v)) {
			 v="\'"+v+"\'";
			 pM[i]=v;
		 }
	 }
	 return pM.join();
}


This just seems strange to me; I used to be able to put variables of
my own at the end of the .js file, but now I can't, because it still
thinks there is a string there, or something.

Anyway, what makest thou of this?  Am I just misunderstanding the
code?

There is nothing wrong with that line. Those two checks are using
regular expresssions to check 1) if v has any white space (\s) and 2)
at the same time doesn't have any single or double quotes in it
(['"]).  Note that the brackets are the character class notation used
in Regular expressions.  If you are having troubles perhaps an URL to
a page that gives  you trouble would help us sort out what's going on.

Subject: Problem with STICK/MOUSEOFF on Gecko benerothe
Send Email

Dear List

I have a Problem with using "overlib('text', STICKY, MOUSEOFF)"
on Gecko (Windows, Firefox/0.8) with Overlib 4.0.

I included an small example. The following steps will produce the
problem:

* Load the example with firefox
* narrow the firefox-window such that the link is not visible without
   scrolling
* scroll the content in the window such that the link becomes visible
* Click onto the link
- The Overlib-Pop-Up will appear properly
* Try to move the mouse into the Overlib-Pop-Up
- the Overlib-Pop-Up will disappear before the mouse goes into
   the Pop-Up.

In my Usecase this is quite bad, since I put Hyperlinks in the Popup
and the user cannot reach them.

My mistake? Bug in Overlib, firefox, or whatever?
Any suggestions for solution?

Heres the example:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div
   id="overDiv"
   style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:1000;">
</div>
<script
   src="http://localhost:8080/wwi/js/overlib.js"
   type="text/javascript"> </script>

I'm not really sure what's going on but this problem happens in all of
the Mozilla based browsers that I have on my machine (Netscape 7.1,
Mozilla 1.6, Mozilla 1.7b, and Firefox 0.8) and on Opera 7.23. In
Firefox and Netscape 7.1 the popup goes away if you move your cursor
straight down on to the popup but if you move it to the left past the
popup and then back right so that goes into the popup, it doesn't
disappear until the cursor is just below the underline above, but
while it is still in the popup.  This appears to be associated with
the code that tends to keep the popup displayed in the window because
it would normally appear below and to the right of the cursor if it
appears in a normal location.  Have you tried adding the command LEFT
when you know that the popup will be in this position?  Of course this
problem doesn't occur in IE6.0. You may have to have a close link (and
that means a caption) and eliminate the MOUSEOFF command.

Oy, this is what happened:

I am using DreamWeaverMX (DWMX). DWMX has a handy feature that updates all the links in a site when a file is moved. This is a fantastic feature!

Except for .js files.

It *alters* .js files, making them corrupt, and unusable. It did the same thing with overlib.js and KaosWeaver's amazingly handy little expert breadcrumbs extension.

Just a warning: Make a backup copy of any .js file you have before you move it in DWMX. Then, move it, and let the link-updater do its thing. Then manually replace the .js file. That worked for me, and though it is low-tech...it gets the job done.

Thanks for helping me out with my problem!

I had that exact same problem earlier this afternoon. It was a little irritating when it happened, and took me about a half hour to figure it out. So, moral of the story is backup before you rearrange.

Oy, this is what happened:

I am using DreamWeaverMX (DWMX). DWMX has a handy feature that updates all the links in a site when a file is moved. This is a fantastic feature!

Except for .js files.

It *alters* .js files, making them corrupt, and unusable. It did the same thing with overlib.js and KaosWeaver's amazingly handy little expert breadcrumbs extension.

Just a warning: Make a backup copy of any .js file you have before you move it in DWMX. Then, move it, and let the link-updater do its thing. Then manually replace the .js file. That worked for me, and though it is low-tech...it gets the job done.

Thanks for helping me out with my problem!

Subject: RE: [oL] Re: wana position the overdev according to the object id abdulrehman1977
Send Email

hello

i m sending u the files there is a folder "rnd" in which i have placed a code that i actually want to do (in this file i have done it on button's click event)
now there is another folder "website" there is a file

file name = menu2.htm

now i m faceing two problems

PROBLEM 1 : first time when the mouse is over the menu then orginally the width of the overDiv layer is zero so first time
the layer do not display on right position i have tried it by fixing the width of the layer but i want to do it dynamically ,
i mean the library pick the width of the layer and then set the position of the overDiv layer

PROBLEM 2 : the 2nd problem is that i want to change the width of the overDiv layer on every drop down , e.g. on home the
width of the layer is, let say 120px and on explore the width of the layer is, let say 50px and so on
the overDiv layer should get the width of the layer and adjust itself under the respective cell on the left side, the point
to get here is that i can adjust it in pixels but if i want to change the text of menus in the cell then i have to adjust
the other menu ,(if the width of 1 cell changes then i have to change the x,y positions of others)

As Dave inferred, swapping the " marks for either entity references
(e.g., ") or escaped single ' marks will help. It is also
important to have matching quote tags (note the extra ' at the end).

CLAY BEGINS:
Another problem is that you are using \ marks instead of / marks. My
guess is that it'll work fine running under Windows, but other
operating systems may have difficulty.

Finally, if you're trying to use an image as the BACKGROUND, the proper
COMMAND and parameter usage is:

*****
overlib('Uses myPicture.jpg as the background', BACKGROUND,
'myPicture.jpg', FGCOLOR, '')
*****

Notice that the COMMAND is all caps, and that the parameter is in
quotes if it's text (numeric values should not be in quotes). If you
wanted your baseball.gif file to be the background image, it would look
like this:

*****
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onmouseover="return
overlib('<b>Testing.</b>',BACKGROUND, 'C:/Documents and
Settings/Hammack/My Documents/My Pictures/baseball.gif');"
onmouseout="return nd();"><font size="1"
face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><sub>News</sub></

*****

Good luck!

Clay,

When using your code, I get "This code contains invalid characters".

You're the first to indicate problems with my messages. I'll see if I
can determine something... I suspect there may be a problem with my
mail client (I'm running Mac OS X's Mail.app).

That page has lots of extra, invalid HTML in it, including a couple of
<BODY>, <iframe>, etc. tags (plus two copies of the annoying banner at
the top). In addition, there's the ominous </xmp> (whatever that is)
with no opening <xmp> tag... In that same location, there are
</noscript> and </div> tags, also missing their opening tags.

As for the overlib issue, one important overlib component that's
*missing* is the overDiv div:

<div id="overDiv" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden;
z-index:1000;"></div>

Without this, overlib won't work! Other than that, I think your overlib
popup should work well.

Hope this helps!

1. As Clay pointed out, you need to insert the overdiv layer tag immediately after the <body....> tag

<div id="overDiv" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:1000;"></div>

2. You need to get the following statement all onto one line. When you copied Clay's earlier suggestion, you left a line-feed after the word 'return' - in the middle of the double quoted string

onmouseover="return overlib('<b>Testing.</b>',BACKGROUND, 'http://sclbaseball.freewebpage.org/baseball.gif');"

3. BACKGROUND is usually a poor choice. The image clips and/or tiles depending on the amount of text in the popup. You probably want to use FGBACKGROUND or BGBACKGROUND To use the full image as a background, read the Images and Backgrounds Treatment tutorials.

http://users.tellurian.net/sandow/overlib/images.htm - Item #9
http://users.tellurian.net/sandow/overlib/backgrnd.htm - Items #5 and #8, and "Does Not work Well" #2 .

4. All the extra crap that Clay observed is stuffed by freewebpage.org. Somebody has to pay, and that is done by the commercials. If you are serious about building a web page, pay for a real server account. That said, the ads and all the extra tags Clay refers to do NOT affect the overlib display after #1 and #2 above are corrected.

You're the first to indicate problems with my messages. I'll see if I can determine something... I suspect there may be a problem with my mail client (I'm running Mac OS X's Mail.app). Read on...

Hello !

I just can't view any images in the popup, here is my code :

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onMouseOver="return overlib('Les news !
Elles ne sont pas class�es (pour montrer nos v�l�eit� bord�liques et
pour plaire aux jeunes (ouais on est des rebelles(remarquez la
parenthese dans la parenthese dans la parenthese, une figure de style
tr�s moderne))) mais on peut les commenter en cliquant sur...
Commentaires (ben oui, on peut pas �tre original partout non plus) !
Passons en revu les troupes charg�s de remplir cette
rubrique :<br><br>Webmaster<br><br><img="images/forgaria.gif">Forgaria
', STICKY, CAPTION, 'NewsDealer', CLOSECLICK, CLOSETEXT, 'Fermer',
FGCOLOR, '#a7b6c8', BGCOLOR, '#8594a6', TEXTCOLOR, '#eef3fa',
CAPCOLOR, '#b20000', CLOSECOLOR, '#b20000', CELLPAD, 4, 4);"
onMouseOut="return nd();">

Thx !

Subject: overlib and Opera's "Identify as.." feature hallvors
Send Email

Hi,
I work for Opera Software and a user has complained to us about the
"tooltips" on article links on www.idg.se not being correctly placed
if Opera's "Identify as.." feature is set to something else than
Internet Explorer. The site is using overlib and I checked whether
things work better on your home page (which I presume is using the
latest version). Actually, the version running on the overlib home
page breaks when identifying as Opera because the function to find
the browser version will not return the expected array if the visitor
is not using IE:

var versNum = parseFloat((navigator.userAgent.match(/MSIE
(\d\.\d+)\.*/i))[1]);

The version on idg.se works generally well but fails to add the
scroll offset to the o3_y variable if the browser is not detected as
IE5:

if (ie5) {o3_x=eval('event.x+o3_frame.'+docRoot+'.scrollLeft');
o3_y=eval('event.y+o3_frame.'+docRoot+'.scrollTop');}

I recommend that you simply detect Opera as IE consistently and avoid
the need for further branching of the code, since there isn't
anything in the IE version Opera can't handle, and test with
different browser identification settings to ensure the detection is
sound.

Thanks for reading :-) Feel free to ask me if you have any questions
about Opera-compatibility.

P.S. If I should contact IDG.se directly and ask them to make changes
to their copy just tell me so. It would perhaps be simpler for them
to upgrade to a new version if you implemented some fixes but I don't
know if or how much they have changed the script themselves..

This maybe better.... put the cellpad back in and the height / width out.
