text labels over hotspots?
|

| webwmn 2005-01-15, 12:16 pm |
| I'm not even sure what this is called, but here's what I want to do:
I have a group photo, and when the cursor is over different faces I want the
name to show up - I assume creating hotspots in an imagemap...
Is there an extension (I hope)?

Once you've added hotspots, you'll have an imagemap:
<map name="reunion" id="reunion">
<area shape="circle" coords="157,92,9" href="java script:;" alt="" />
<area shape="circle" coords="191,90,9" href="java script:;" alt="" />
<area shape="circle" coords="246,90,9" href="java script:;" alt="" />
....
Add a title attribute to each area tag, and you're set:
<map name="reunion" id="reunion">
<area shape="circle" coords="157,92,9" href="java script:;" alt="George" title="George" />
<area shape="circle" coords="191,90,9" href="java script:;" alt="Mary" title="Mary" />
<area shape="circle" coords="246,90,9" href="java script:;" alt="webwmn" title="webwmn" />
....
The alt attribute was never intended to be a tooltip, and most browsers
(IE being the major exception) won't display them as such.

| Use the title attribute -
<area title="this text will appear when you mouseover the hotspot....

Once you've added hotspots, you'll have an imagemap:
<map name="reunion" id="reunion">
<area shape="circle" coords="157,92,9" href="java script:;" alt="" />
<area shape="circle" coords="191,90,9" href="java script:;" alt="" />
<area shape="circle" coords="246,90,9" href="java script:;" alt="" />
....
Add a title attribute to each area tag, and you're set:
<map name="reunion" id="reunion">
<area shape="circle" coords="157,92,9" href="java script:;" alt="George" title="George" />
<area shape="circle" coords="191,90,9" href="java script:;" alt="Mary" title="Mary" />
<area shape="circle" coords="246,90,9" href="java script:;" alt="webwmn" title="webwmn" />
....
The alt attribute was never intended to be a tooltip, and most browsers
(IE being the major exception) won't display them as such.
