CSS Gallery Persistence?

[TheJoshMan]

1) Script Title: CSS Image Gallery

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/cs...gallery/#thumb

3) Describe problem: Not a problem YET per se, just curious as to whether or not this could be implemented in such a way that each larger image and description would stay put once the thumbnail is clicked. Is it possible to make it so that once someone clicks the thumbnail the enlarged <span> containing the larger image and description would stay in place until another thumbnail was hovered over?

Just curious. Thanks.

Apparently, there's no easy way to do this via CSS alone, but with JS, might be possible.

See post # 4 for possibility.

Oops! I guess I thanked too soon! LOL
Yes, I was quite expecting it to have to be done via javascript... I just wasn't quite sure how or IF it was actually possible.

How about giving me a chance to give you these steps:

• Try to add this element in your markup
  

  <div id="hold"></div>

• Add this in your CSS:
  

  #hold{
  position: absolute;
  padding: 5px;
  left: 240px;
  color: black;
  text-decoration: none;
  z-index:10000;
  }

• Have this script:
  

  <script type="text/javascript">
  window.onload=function(){
  for(var i=0,a=document.getElementsByTagName('a');i<a.length;i++)
  	{
  	if(a[i].className=='thumbnail'){
  		a[i].onclick=function(){
  			var hold=document.getElementById('hold');
  			hold.innerHTML=this.getElementsByTagName('span')[0].innerHTML;
  			hold.style.background='lightyellow';
  			hold.style.border='1px dashed gray';
  			return false;
  			}
  		a[i].onmouseover=function(){
  		document.getElementById('hold').innerHTML='';
  		hold.style.background='none';
  		hold.style.border='0px';
  		}
  		}
  	}
  }
  </script>

How about giving me a chance to give you these steps:

This has helped, but need to change it back to the default when mouse-out or mouse-off.

If this was the contact us page then the default image would be ;
<div id="hold"><img src="img/contactus.jpg" /><br />Contact us.</div>
You mouse-over to see other images when you mouse-out it resets to the default image.

Do I add;
a[i].onmouseout=function(){

Is there a method to show the default image of that page?

Edit:
Solved with javascript;
==
function showIt(imgsrc){
document.getElementById('imgshow').src=imgsrc;
}

function hideIt(){
document.getElementById('imgshow').src="images/contact.jpg";
}
==

Thanks, cheers.
