Sticky Note Script as link mouseover

[ianp]

1) Script Title: Sticky Note Script

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

3) Describe problem: Just wondering if it is possible to modify this script to pop up either as a mouseover on a link or by clicking a link instead of by page load.

Any tips on how to do this would be appreciated

Try replacing the original script that goes in the HEAD section (code of Step 1) with the below instead:

<style type="text/css">

#fadeinbox{
position:absolute;
width: 300px;
left: 0;
top: -400px;
border: 2px solid black;
background-color: lightyellow;
padding: 4px;
z-index: 100;
visibility:hidden;
}

</style>


<script type="text/javascript">

//Specify display mode. 3 possible values are:
//1) "always"- This makes the fade-in box load each time the page is displayed
//2) "oncepersession"- This uses cookies to display the fade-in box only once per browser session
//3) integer (ie: 5)- Finally, you can specify an integer to display the box randomly via a frequency of 1/integer...
// For example, 2 would display the box about (1/2) 50% of the time the page loads.

var displaymode="always"

var enablefade="yes" //("yes" to enable fade in effect, "no" to disable)
var autohidebox=["yes", 5] //Automatically hide box after x seconds? [yes/no, if_yes_hide_after_seconds]
var showonscroll="yes" //Should box remain visible even when user scrolls page? ("yes"/"no)

var Mozfadedegree=0.05 //fade in degree for NS6+ (number between 0 and 1. Recommended max: 0.2)

////////No need to edit beyond here///////////

if (parseInt(displaymode)!=NaN)
var random_num=Math.floor(Math.random()*displaymode)

function displayfadeinbox(){
var ie=document.all && !window.opera

function get_cookie(Name) {
var search = Name + "="

</script>

It modifies things so the Sticky Note is launched only via the click of a link, for example:

<DIV id="fadeinbox" style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.RandomDissolve(duration=1) progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=gray,direction=135) ; -moz-opacity:0">

INSERT ANY HTML TO DISPLAY HERE. DO NOT REMOVE OUTER MOST DIV.<br>

<div align="right"> <a href="#" onClick="hidefadebox();return false">Hide Box</a>
</div>
</DIV>

<a href="javascript:initfunction()">Load Note</a>

Thanks for that - exactly what I needed

Hello,

This script worked great and I've added it to a transparent map image but I was curious to how to have multiple sticky notes?

So they can click a separate map and a separate sticky appears.

[ianp]

I also noticed that if I have multiple links on a page it calls up the same note every time no matter which one is clicked. Can each link be given a seperate initfunction value or is there another way?

[ddadmin]

Hmm there's currently no easy way to have multiple Sticky Notes all on the same page unfortunately. A script that may more closely fit what you need is Link Floatie script, namely, the 2nd demo.
