Can someone please explain how to use this in a custom area and one image per table cell?

I posted a comment 2 days ago and apparently it did not go through.

I don't know, but I would like it if someone explained the $ and the : stuff, as I am unfamiliar with that javascript syntax.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(
function()
{
$(’#dock2′).Fisheye(
{
maxWidth: 60,
items: ‘a’,
itemsText: ’span’,
container: ‘.dock-container2′,
itemWidth: 40,
proximity: 80,
alignment : ‘left’,
valign: ‘bottom’,
halign : ‘center’
}
)
}
);
</script>

$ is just like any other variable. It can be used to name things. Ii think in Prototype it is a shortcut to document.getElementById().

As for the colon. It allows you to make an object.

object name: object properties.

This can be a function, string etc.

$ is just like any other variable. It can be used to name things.

But shouldn't be: ECMA-262 says it should be reserved for machine-generated identifiers.

Ii think in Prototype it is a shortcut to document.getElementById().

It does other things. It can select an element by ID, name, class, and various other criteria, I believe.

So if I had an object constructor for lets say ShortStory

No, not a constructor, just a single instance of an object. For example:

var myobj = {
  'prop1' : "somevalue",
  'prop2' : "someothervalue"
};

myobj.prop1; // "somevalue"
myobj['prop2']; // "someothervalue"

Ok, I get it after putting it to the test on my machine.
