onclick instead of mouseover

1) Script Title: Drop down/ Overlapping Content script

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

3) Describe problem: onclick instead of mouseover

Hi guys

I've this script and would like to change the mouseover function to onclick, like this script: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=19528. I need the window opens through a click on the link and closes through a click on any part of the page. What should I do to get it?

Thanks in advance

Right now the script already supports revealing via onClick- see the second demo on the script page. Clicking on the anchor link again closes it.

Thank you for the answer

However i had already seen the second demo and it's perfect. If there's a way to close the window through a click on the whole page, i would appreciate a ur help. Besides in the second demo, the window close onclick but on mouseover too, whereas i look for a window that close just with onclick.

If there're other script here on Dynamicdrive that make this, let me know pls (i didn't found them yet).

Many thanks!

Actually, you can disable that behavior with the script by default as well. Inside the .js file, set the value in red to false:

 hidedivmouseout: [false, 200], //Set hiding behavior within Drop Down DIV itself: [hide_div_onmouseover?, miliseconds_before_hiding]

That leaves hiding the Drop Down Content with the click of the mouse anywhere on the page, which is more complicated. If I have time I'll revisit this thread later this week. No promises.

Thank you for everything!!!!

 hidedivmouseout: [false, 200], //Set hiding behavior within Drop Down DIV itself: [hide_div_onmouseover?, miliseconds_before_hiding]

This works like a charm!!

Hi

I've a small problem about the code of this script.

I moved this part

<script type="text/javascript">
//Call dropdowncontent.init("anchorID", "positionString", glideduration, "revealBehavior") at the end of the page:

dropdowncontent.init("searchlink", "right-bottom", 500, "mouseover")
dropdowncontent.init("contentlink", "left-top", 300, "click")

</script>

inside dropdowncontent.js, so:

window.onload = function(){
dropdowncontent.init("searchlink", "left-bottom", 500, "click");
};

It works very well in any page, but doesn't works in the pages which contain other scripts. What i can do to solve that?
I would to leave just the html tags in the body and put any javascript in external files. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Try including a generic addEvent() function somewhere within your list of scripts loaded on the page. Such a function would look like:

function addEvent(target, functionref, tasktype){
	if (target.addEventListener)
		target.addEventListener(tasktype, functionref, false);
	else if (target.attachEvent)
		target.attachEvent('on'+tasktype, function(){return functionref.call(target, window.event)});
}

Then, making sure the above function is defined in terms of source order before you make the following call, make a call such as:

addEvent(window, function(){
	dropdowncontent.init("searchlink", "left-bottom", 500, "click")
	}, "load")

Untested, but this should work.
