Creating a website using simple html(not html5) and css but got stock in mouseover

  • 0

Creating a website using simple html(not html5) and css but got stock in mouseover effect. Need to show some text with background image when user mouseover a link. Following is an example..

NORMAL:
On mouse Out

OVER:
alt text

I don’t think it is possible to create the effect with simple CSS. My question is what is the most effective way to create the over effect and how? Javascript, DHTML or other language…

Thanks in advance…Rex…

    Rex,

    I think you would find jQuery very useful. jQuery is a javascript framework, very easy to use. http://www.jquery.com

    You can achieve your effect with pure javascript, but again I think you will find using a javascript framework much easier, since your coming from actionscript.

    For your particular instance I would make a div absolutely positioned. To show the div on mouseover you can use the jQuery $(“#div_id”).show(); and on mouseout use .hide();

    Here is a basic tutorial for using show hide on events with jQuery.

    Good luck!
