REQUEST: Hover over image to reveal text

[demitri]

Unless i have missed it, i haven't seen anything for this particular code except for those that are put in the global header/footer. What i'm looking for is something that i can use in a thread. I have yet to see it on any proboards websites that i've come across so i have an example from a jcink website. This is exactly, if not similar to what i'm looking for: http://poiseandrationality.b1.*jcink*.com/index.php

If there are any codes that can be used on proboards for this sort of thing, that would be wonderful!
Thank you [:

Your link doesn't work since it is ProBoards competition.  Sorry.
Since you didn't post your url, is your site converted to V5 yet or still V4?  

[demitri]

alrighty. But no, it is still V4, it was made way back in 2011. I'm just revamping it. helliswhatyoumakeit.proboards.com/

Now you said "in a thread". Do you mean in the thread title or in posts in a thread? Is this for everyone to use or just like a one time thing in one post in one thread? I ask because I know of two codes that you could do something like this with. One is a code you would use just once in a thread, say to put html table with a lot of data or just to have a fancy rules post and such. It is constructed in your headers/footers and then you use a key word in the post to make it work. That is this code here.

There is another code that isn't even posted here because it allows trusted members to use and if someone is smart and gets mad at you, they could really cause some harm to your site. So if you use this, be smart about who you trust to use it. If you are the only one using this then you have no worries because you can designate who can use html in posts. Now maybe you are wanting something much more complex then this but I have two example on my site using this code and simply use the alt for my hover content.

<img src="http:myimage.png" alt="content to show on hover">


That is the second post here on my test site:

putteraround6.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=nb&action=display&thread=5

In that first post I used the above second code and also used this code. The javascript part goes in your global header and you style the css and edit the hover content there. Then you just stick one of lines in the second part in your post.


[html]<a href="#" onMouseover="showmenu(event,linkset[0])" onMouseout="delayhidemenu()"><img src=http://linktoimage.png /></a>


There are definately draw backs in both codes and again, if you use code two, you have been warned someone could do something very bad to your site if they got mad at you. I don't know if either options will work for what you had in your mind but that is probably about as close as you can get to doing any kind of hover stuff.

[demitri]

okay, so the only ones that can be used are based from the header / footer? I was hoping that there might be a way to construct it with BBCodes or Enhanced, but if there isn't than that's fine. Thank you for your help!

[Tumbleweed]

No, not with ubbc or the enhanced. But I think you misunderstand. The first code, all your coding goes in the header and footer including what you want to appear in your posts. With the 2nd one the code goes in your header and footer but you use html in your posts to get the hover content. So you'd be doing it in your posts using the 2nd code. Just not ubbc but like the examples I gave you.

So that second post I linked to would allow you to put whatever you wanted in the alt tag right when you are writing your post but instead of ubbc:



[img src="http://i657./uu300/EliteList/Crazicons/A8/1.png"]


You just have to change it to html:



[html]
<img src="http://i657./uu300/EliteList/Crazicons/A8/1.png" alt="This is the text you want to show on hover" />



Now there is a possibility someone created a code that allows you to do that but I don't know of it.
