Webmasters › Re: Php Photo Script by DualCore1: 11:24am On Jun 23, 2010

You can do this using overlays. The concept is, you mouseover an image and an overlay of that image with is description comes into light while other elements of the site are darkened.
Here's what I have written, I think it should help.

<html>
<head>

<style>
#overlay{
background:transparent url(overlay.png) repeat top left;
position:fixed;
top:0px;
bottom:0px;
left:0px;
right:0px;
z-index:100;
}
</style>


<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(
function(){
$('#overlay').hide();
$('#image').mouseover(function(){
$('#overlay').fadeIn();
})

$('#large_image').mouseout(function(){
$('#overlay').fadeOut();

})
}
);

</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="container">
<img src="sms.jpg" id="image" />
</div>
<div id="overlay">
<img src="sms_large.jpg" id="large_image" />
</div>
</body>
</html>

Please note I have written this for learning purpose, as it is now it is not standards complaint. I just have the basic stuff in place so it clear how things work

Download the files I have attached and put in the same folder with the above code, then run the code in your browser and see how it goes.

Thanks for the help, you can get back to work now. You are the one who wants to do a LOT in very little time.
My pride and ego (if you may) remains very very very very intact. I'm very very very very sorry if its annoying to anyone.

I don't have anything against CMS and if I saw it as a better way for ME to work, it will be my A game. I have used a bit of Joomla and have used Drupal extensively, I however have chosen how I want to do things (with my hands) and you have also chosen how you want to do things too, so don't enforce your choice on me as I am not enforcing mine on you. I love my ego if that's what you call it. Na God do am for me through my passion and the vast community of like minded Nigerians I have access to.

P.S: You will be held responsible if the OP has been thrown into confusion with this derailment

Muchas gracias, brotha.
As per being broke et al, web development is part of my many joys and hobbies its not my occupation so I am not after quick money from coding. I will not want to go into details of my occupation here as it is not necessary.

If you think its an ego thing, well I am very very very very proud and also very very very very confident of/in my hand coding abilities and I am thankful to God for everything. No vex, its not easy. When I build something and people ask if I did it from scratch, depending on my mood I either vex and tell them to search the whole of google for any plugin or CMS that has done it or I am happy and give 'em a resounding yes also politely explaining that my codes as of this moment are still very closed source and I may not be able to attach and mail them but I can tell them my logic.

As for clients not having to know the tech behind a job, last thing on my mind in choosing how to work is the client, first thing of my mind is me. I am not a web designer, I'm just that guy that singles out a client and provides a business model and solution in the form of a web application that has a to-the-last-letter-of-his-specification precision without having to explain to him how dem shoot bird and the mama fly so I cant add a particular feature he is after (simply becos in truth I am using CMS and i no know how to translate him requirement into any module or extension and bad enough there is no module like that exactly)

I will say this again, use what you want as long as it gets your job done.
Make we no fight over CMS or noCMS this morning, I am wasting your precious time.

C'mon millions of people can't be wrong can they?

Is this your reason for going with CMS? FYI, the whole world can be wrong.

I am not about to go into a long CMS-noCMS debate. That debate is very baseless. Use whatever you want to use to get your job done. If you wonno write your codes yourself, fine go on and have fun building yourself into a killer machine. If you wonno use CMS, fine go on. . . rest assured I will be here to help out (the best way I can) with handwritten codes when the CMS going gets tough, if it ever gets tough.

I am only afraid of those who are seeing CMS as a shortcut or a coward's way of running away from a problem. My heart goes to y'all. Sadly there are a lot like that here. In this board I have seen only two people (there may be more people i am yet to see) who have taken out enough time to know how a CMS engine works and also build additional parts to add to the engine to provide enough NOS for their CMS drive.

If i'm not mistaken dmark4real asked for a software not how to build one. And a CMS is surely a software with all respect.

And the solution I gave is hardware, aye? tongue

You dont have to answer, just playing with you and English

I have a site for news generally but i want a software to edit the content any time without puttin the content into html or php page eah time.

Does anybody no what i cud use? pls

Create a database.
Add the content you want to the database

Create a php file and declare a variable that gets the result of querying that database for the content you added.

Create a form that echoes/prints that variable into a textarea in the form.

Edit the content in the form and submit.

For the form action
Create a file that takes the value submitted and replaces it with what is on the DB.

If you dont want to use a database you can try all this with a flat file and use php's serialize() and unserialize() to get things to and from the flat file.
I recommend you use the database approach which I have found to be better as per security and maintainability.

I'm very busy and cant start reading hotmail's documentation on implementing that concept. Google has the same concept named Google Apps. I can set you up on Google Apps. Features include 7GB space for all users, create up to 50 email accounts, superior SPAM protection, Recipient inbox delivery guaranteed.

All hope is not lost. Ivory Coast could beat North Korea 10-0 and Portgual could lose to Brazil 3-0.

. . . and FIFA in honoring Nelson Mandela could just terminate the games and award the cup to SA.

I like your spirit, impossible is nothing.

DPR should be grateful to Mother Nature for the rains, if not na 15:0 dem for see.
