I came across quite the problem last night and I was trying to work through it until I hit a JavaScript problem and, unfortunately, I know nothing of JavaScript.
You see, I
found a JavaScript online that creates a popup "tooltip" above the mouse cursor. This one in particular allows an image to be inserted in the box which gave me an idea...removing the box around the image and text tooltip and adding an alpha-transparent PNG, thereby creating a pop-up alpha-transparent image that appears when you hover over a link.
In order to accomplish this in IE, though, I
found a PHP script that allows transparent PNGs to be shown with full alpha-transparency in IEand this is where I encountered my problem...there's a certain bit of PHP code that has to be applied to an image tag <img> for IE to recognize and process the transparent image. The section of code in the tooltip script that calls the image is in Javascript, however.
So, I have to figure out how to incorporate this:
<img src="test.png" style="filter: progid
XImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (src='test.png', sizingMethod='scale');">
into this line of javascript
:
('images/printexample1.png','text here.',"#DDECFF");
It's taken me a while to get here and now I'm stuck because, as I said, I know absolutely NOTHING of JavaScript. Hopefully after examining the scripts in question you might be able to figure out how I might get this to work. I appreciate any comments or suggestions. Just so you know, once the problem is resolved, I had planned on posting the problem and its' solution on
my blog - just to help anybody else out in the future. In doing so, I would be more than happy to give any necessary credit (including a link or an image - your choice) to the man/woman who found the solution.
I don't mean to mislead anyone, though, because I probably only get about 100 hits a month currently.
