Hello,
I recently came across Dynamic Drive while searching for a way to put a better product image gallery code into a template. My goal was to create a product image gallery which contained 15 thumbnail images and that would have a larger image "pop out" when a thumbnail was hovered on.
The code I found on Dynamic Drive is as follows:
<style type="text/css">
/*Credits: Dynamic Drive CSS Library */
/*URL: dynamicdrive dot com slash style */
.gallerycontainer{
position: relative;
left: 55px;
/*Add a height attribute and set to largest image's height to prevent overlaying*/
}
.thumbnail img{
border: none;
margin: 0 5px 5px 0;
/*originally said border: 1px solid white;*/
}
.thumbnail:hover{
background-color: transparent;
}
.thumbnail:hover img{
border: none;
/*originally said border: 1px solid black;*/
}
.thumbnail span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
position: absolute;
background-color: transparent;
padding: 5px;
left: -1000px;
border: none;
visibility: hidden;
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
/*originally said border: 1px dashed gray; background-color: lightyellow;*/
}
.thumbnail span img{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
border-width: 0;
padding: 2px;
}
.thumbnail:hover span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
visibility: visible;
top: 120px;
left: 380px; /*position where enlarged image should offset horizontally*/
z-index: 50;
}
</style>
The challenge I'm running into is this: I have hardcoded the template to have 15 thumbnail image places. However, the # of images per product varies greatly - some have 15, while others have 2 or 3.
So, I thought I could use 1-pixel transparent gifs in unused thumbnail image slots, and that the code (above) would simply have some invisible places in the thumbnail grid I've laid out - furthermore, that the pop-out images of these spacer.gif's would also be invisible.
Unfortunately, that's not the case - it renders the spacer.gif's as 110-pixel white images in the thumbnail grid, and it renders the pop-out spacer.gif's as white images as well.
Can someone please help me figure out how to make the unused thumbnail image spaces be blank, so that if I have 3 images, the code (above) displays 3 images but makes the remaining thumbnails invisible (and makes those invisibile thumbnail's pop-outs also invisible)?
Thank you sincerely,
Jon
