Image w/ tooltip

[JayGeePee]

1) Script Title: Image w/ tooltip

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...agetooltip.htm

3) Describe problem: I only want the image to appear when the user scrolls over the link. How do I keep the link from being clickable. I dont want the user to click the link, and leave the page.

The link to the dd script in your post is broken. Which script exactly are you talking about?

In any case, generally if you have a link:


<a href="whatever.htm">Link Text or img tag</a>

You can stop it from firing by:


<a href="whatever.htm" onclick="return false;">Link Text or img tag</a>

John is right, btw he was referring to this one:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/imagetooltip.htm
I could tell by looking at the url:
dynamici...imagetooltip.htm
Then found where post the image effects were.

What you could also do is completely take AWAY the link for example:


<span onmouseover="doTooltip(event,1)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Text 1</a>

Or make a fake link.
Which is easy to make in css. But I suggest either Johns return solution, or my span solution.

How Do I keep this link from being clickable? And what is the correct way to use it. Im using a website creator called Blue Voda... Is hyperlinking this going to work? What do I do with it?

<a href="#" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,4)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Link 1</a>

Thanks, John

Is hyperlinking this going to work? What do I do with it?

<a href="#" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,4)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Link 1</a>

It is hyperlinked, and the hyperlink works. What you've been asking, as far as I can tell, is how to stop the hyperlink from working. For that, do it like so:


<a href="#" onclick="return false;" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,4)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Link 1</a>

Now, if instead of killing the hyperlink, you want it to go somewhere, you can just change the # to a URL:


<a href="some.htm" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,4)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Link 1</a>

Or, if you only want it to go somewhere when javascript is disabled, you can do both, add the return false and make the # a URL:


<a href="some.htm" onclick="return false;" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,4)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Link 1</a>

Finally, if you absolutely, positively don't want it going anywhere under any circumstances, do this:


<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return false;" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,4)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Link 1</a>
