[RD]Content Overlay Script

[яλíĐєn]

Evening folks,

I am in need of professional assistance on a code called content overlay script.
Was wondering if i am doing the proper thing here?
For some odd reason the code works on Firefox on my forum but not on Internet Explorer.
Can someone identify what i am doing wrong and help me solve this issue so it can display it properly on my forum with the content i need.

Note: i am not a professional coder, i just know a bit html and basic css.

Edit: I JUST Noticed the script ain't working on either browser -.- now i am completely lost. HELP!


Regards,
Lu

Did you download the part they say to download? Right above step 2. What I do is download it to my desktop and then rather than host, I just right click it and select edit and just copy the jquery adding script tags on top and bottom.

Have it working here:
diggininthedirt.freemessageboards.com/

Now I just put things directly in my header. I'm not sure how you were going about adding it.

hi Ms.Tumbleweed, long time no see :-) i am owner of tanxguide forum. As,you can see i have a new forum and having hard time setting this one up.

I have seen your forum, but how can i manage it with my own images, and custom links. Also added a my white transparent image.
Meaning my own content but with the effect.

And by the way i do the same is download it and put it in my desktop. But what i did is put the entire js and css coding in the html boc on that custom page. Would that be it?

It has been a while since we seen you around here or at least in coding support. Hope you've been doing well.  I've made a portal page and blank pages as well and I did it just like I do on V4. I put my css at the top. Then my javascript and then the html. Just like you have it but I'm not seeing the big long script that you have to download and copy. I see the smaller script.

However, if it is working for you in FF then there must be something else that is wrong but I just looked at your site in FF (the V5 site) and it isn't working at all for me in FF, just like it isn't in IE or Chrome.

Anyway, I'll go ahead and create a portal page and see if I can get it working. But it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Ah!
Thanks I've been doing well, I've been absent because soon i am moving to Uruguay and will leave north America xD.. Going on a business trip and hope it's permanent .
My English has gotten better with practice or at least my typing is good.

As for the code, for a moment i thought was working for my on FF but when i cleared my cookies and got back to the site, it wasn't working.

But sure take your time
I'll be lurking around support reading.
Take care!

Actually, I ended up putting my javascript in my global headers, just like you would the traditional way. So the link the goes to the jquery library, the little bit of javascript and then that big long javascript we had to download. Just be sure you put script tags around it:

<script type="text/javascript">
Big long downloaded script
</script>

The css and html I put in the html box for my portal. The css I didn't touch because the white they had for the transparency in there was fine. You can find in the javascript where to change the opacity. And wow, it is easy. You just replace your images and set the width and height and that part it set.

<div class="imagecontainers" data-overlayid="springinfo" style="display:block-inline;width:400px;height:535px">
<img src="i49.tinypic.com/10xh5ig.jpg">
</div>

Evening,!

Tumbleweed i just had to say your my wonderwoman that worked perfectly.
Then this means i always need to do the traditional way and still utilize the headers and footers
Thanks for your effort on helping me
Now the site looking nicer bit by bit xd.

You're welcome. Glad that worked out for you.

Very possible that javascript could have been added as a plug-in but I'm afraid I know very little about plug-ins - the pro's and con's. I'm sure if you had a lot of javascript then using a plug-in may decrease load time and the fact that you'd have the ability to shut if off if you were trouble shooting something or changed your layout for a while, not using that javascript. I guess I need to learn more about plug-ins.

But that is why the headers/footers are there..... for those of us who don't mind using the traditional way.
