item desc on mouse hover?

[dibuk]

this is made in javascript right?

i can't find a mod in here on how to do it.

its something like when you hover your mouse on an item link (or it could be image)

something like this description will shown, (not pop out, but something like it will show automatically when you hovered on mouse)

i know you know what i mean..

so, i'm wondering, if anyone could share a code for this? or if it is has to be paid or something to be made?

thanks. ;) of course its not supposed to be exactly like that, but you know what im trying to say right? :) thanks again..

What about your mod guy? He quit or did not make the cut?

[dibuk]

what mod guy are you talking about? =/

You want it to pop-up inside the browser and then disappear when you move your mouse away?

I think that's do-able and most likely a javascript job.

A few games I have seen have the description appear in a new(small) browser window, works quite well if you're looking for something more simple.

[dibuk]

yeah that's exactly what i'm talking about...when you hover your mouse, the description will appear, then disappear when you move your mouse away on it.

and yes, i've also seen games/sites that has descriptions that appear on new small windows..

but i really prefer the hovering thing, i really think its most organized and clean.

so, anyone can display code for this? free or not free?

someone told me this can be done with just a few lines of codes, but i have never really seen anywhere.

any help on this please? thanks

most likely a javascript job.

Something like this im guessing?

[dibuk]

Yes Danny, that's it.

Any script for that will be appreciated. ;)

The screenshot you posted was from a game called Final Crusader which I developed. The code for our item information was incredibly simple. Something you could easily write from a few easy tutorials. Read up about Ajax requests.

Its a good game, I can find other examples, but i just find yours organized. ;) good job.

 

@the spirit

Well i thought danny's link gave you what you wanted...

If you want to use jquery something like this could be easy to adapt -

Just use fancybox and ajax request the item info page? All pretty simple.

He does not want to build it guys.

[Dominion]

He does not want to build it guys.

That would be down to him. If he took the time to look, and my memory serves me well, there is an old free mod that does something similar to what he is looking for.

I was reading over the dynamic drive thing.. seems like it'd work. Just try it and post any trouble here?
