Javascript Question

**IceBlade** · 10-02-2008, 03:44 AM

Okay this is what I have so far. It's pretty simple although I know nothing about this stuff so it took me hours to get this far. Anyways. What I want to do is have the text it displays on mouseover to show up on the right of the image rather than displaying on the bottom. So when I mouseover I want the [1,1], [1,2], etc. to show up on the right of the image.. preferably vertically centered.

What would really be ideal is if I could get the text to shop up at the current mouse position like under the cursor. Is that possible? Help please?

Code:

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
function writeText(txt)
{
document.getElementById("desc").innerHTML=txt;
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<img src="IkariamMap_01.gif" width="680" height="680"
alt="Coords" usemap="#ikimap" />

<map id ="ikimap" name="ikimap">
<area shape ="rect" coords ="20,20,40,40"
onMouseOver="writeText('[1,1]')"
href ="island1.htm" target ="_blank" alt="1,1" />

<area shape ="rect" coords ="40,20,60,40"
onMouseOver="writeText('[1,2]')"
href ="island2.htm" target ="_blank" alt="1,2" />

<area shape ="rect" coords ="60,20,80,40"
onMouseOver="writeText('[1,3]')"
href ="island3.htm" target ="_blank" alt="1,3" />
</map> 
<p id="desc"></p>

Okay I've now got it to show a popup table when I hover over the coords but how do I get it to show a different table for every square? I've uploaded what I'm working on. The first three squares show the same popup table. I want a different one for each square.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>IkariamMap</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowPopup(hoveritem)
{
hp = document.getElementById("hoverpopup");

// Set position of hover-over popup
hp.style.top = hoveritem.offsetTop + 18;
hp.style.left = hoveritem.offsetLeft + 20;

// Set popup to visible
hp.style.visibility = "Visible";
}

function HidePopup()
{
hp = document.getElementById("hoverpopup");
hp.style.visibility = "Hidden";
}
</script>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

<img src="images/IkariamMap_01.gif" width="680" height="680"

<map id ="ikimap" name="ikimap">
<area shape ="rect" coords ="20,20,40,40"
id="hoverover" style="cursor:default;" onMouseOver="ShowPopup(this);" onMouseOut="HidePopup();"

<area shape ="rect" coords ="40,20,60,40"

</map>


<div id="hoverpopup" style="visibility:hidden; position:absolute; top:0; left:0;"><table bgcolor="#0000FF">

Right now all of your mouseovers call the same function which makes the same div visible. If you want to change that for different calls you will have to make a distinction in ShowPopup to make a different div visible. Either add a new div to the DOM from there or add additional divs like hoverpopup which contain the different stuff you want to show for each mouseover.

Thanks for the reply. I found a tutorial, pretty much re-wrote everything and I think I did what you said but there's a problem. In the CSS if I have the box set to visible it will show so I know it's there but when I set it back to hidden and try to hover over the coords it doesn't popup. I've spent the last 2 hours trying to fix it but I don't know anything about Javascript.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Ikariam Map - Sector 1</title>

<script language="JavaScript">

function box (boxname,menustate){

if (document.getElementById)
{document.getElementById(boxname).style.visibility = menustate;}

else {document[boxname].visibility = menustate}

</script>

<style type="text/css">

#C1C1 {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 100px;
width: 80px;
border: solid 2px #000000;
background-color: #ff9900;
color: #000000;
padding: 5px;
z-index: 2;
visibility: hidden;
}

#C2C1 {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 100px;
width: 80px;
border: solid 2px #000000;
background-color: #ff9900;
color: #000000;
padding: 5px;
z-index: 2;
visibility: hidden;
}

#C3C1 {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 100px;
width: 80px;
border: solid 2px #000000;
background-color: #ff9900;
color: #000000;
padding: 5px;
z-index: 2;
visibility: hidden;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>

<img src="IkariamMap/Diff HTML/images/IkariamMap_01.gif" width="680" height="680"
alt="Coords" usemap="#ikimap" />

<map id ="ikimap" name="ikimap">

<area shape ="rect" coords ="20,20,40,40"
onMouseOver="box('C1C1','visible')" onMouseOut="box('C1C1','hidden')"
href ="island1.htm" target ="_blank" alt="1,1" />

<area shape ="rect" coords ="40,20,60,40"
onMouseOver="box('C2C1','visible')" onMouseOut="box('C2C1','hidden')"
href ="island2.htm" target ="_blank" alt="2,1" />

<area shape ="rect" coords ="60,20,80,40"
onMouseOver="box('C3C1','visible')" onMouseOut="box('C3C1','hidden')"
href ="island3.htm" target ="_blank" alt="3,1" />

</map>

<div id="C1C1">Island[1,1]</div>
<div id="C2C1">Island[2,1]</div>
<div id="C3C1">Island[3,1]</div>

</body>
</html>

I got it to work. Not perfectly how I wanted it but it works enough to get the idea across. Thanks for the help :)
