Cool LightBox on mouseOver!

**Manhattan** · 08-05-2009, 10:59 AM

Hi guys,

I'm working on an intro page for my website that has 3 sections (like the image below), now I'm trying to add a cool light box that dynamically collapse and expand (to show description) at the bottom of the each image depend on mouseOver it or not, to find what I mean exactly please visit this website (this part: What's new here?)

// Slide Panels (04-May-2009)
// by: Vic Phillips http://www.vicsjavascripts.org.uk

// The script allows panels to be slid into or out of a parent element
// from the left, right, top or bottom by a mouseover, mouseout or click event of the parent element.
// This effect is useful in displaying text or slide show controls.
// The script is easily integrated with other applications.
// There may be as many applications on a page as required.
//
// The script utalises my 'Basic Animator' script.


// ****** Application Notes.

// **** The HTML and CSS Code.
//
// ** The Parent Element
// The parent element must have a style position of 'relative' or 'absolute', overflow of hidden,
// and the width and height specified with 'px' units.
//
// ** Each Panel
// Each panel must be nested in the parent div and assigned a class name.
// Each panel must have a style position of 'absolute' and the width and height specified with 'px' units.
// Each panel may have the style 'display' defined as 'none', this will be set to 'block' by the script.
// For 'left' and 'right' applications the panel left position will be controlled by the script.
// For 'top' and 'bottom' applications the panel top position will be controlled by the script.
//

// **** Initialisation.
//
// Each panel is initialised by a <BODY> or window event call to function:
// zxcSlidePanel('left','tst','left','click','click',1000);
// where:
//  parameter 0 = mode of effect execution, 'left', 'right' 'top' or 'bottom'.              (string)
//  parameter 1 = the unique id name of the parent element.                                 (string)
//  parameter 2 = the class name of the panel.                                              (string)
//  parameter 3 = (optional)the event type to slide the panel in.                           (string, default = see Note 3)
//  parameter 4 = (optional)the event type to slide the panel out.                          (string, default = see Note 3)
//  parameter 5 = (optional) the duration of the effect in millSeconds.                     (digits, default = 1000 millSeconds)
//  parameter 6 = (optional) 'sin' = effect starts fast, 'cos' = effect starts slow.        (string, default = linear)
//  parameter 7 = (optional) an array defining the start and finish positions of the panel. (array, default = see Note 1)
//                           field[0] = the start position in 'px''  (digits)
//                           field[1] = the finish position in 'px'' (digits)
//
// ** Note 1
//  The default start and finish positions of the panel are:
//  mode 'left'   = start =  - the panel width,               finish 0.
//  mode 'right'  = start =  the panel parent element width,  finish - the panel width.
//  mode 'top'    = start =  - the panel height,              finish 0.
//  mode 'bottom' = start =  the panel parent element height, finish - the panel height.
//
// ** Note 2
//  The default condition is the panels to be slid out and hidden on initilisation.
//  See 'Controlling the Panel from a Link' if the panel is to be be slid in and visible.
//
// ** Note 3
//  If the panel is ONLY to be controlled by event calls from objects other the the panel parent
//  the 'in' event should be specified as false(see 'Controlling the Panel').
//  If the 'in' event is specified as 'click' the 'out' event may be set to false.
//

// **** Integration.
//
// Calling the initalisation function zxcSlidePanel('left','tst','left','click','click',1000);
// returns the panel slide function object, this may be assigned to a global variable and used to access
// its functions and conditions.
// The panel element may be accessed as  MyVariable.panel.
// The current, minimum and maximum positions of panel element may be accessed from  MyVariable.oop.data.
// The duration of the effect is MyVariable.ms.
// The type of the effect is MyVariable.sincos.
//

// **** Controlling the Panel.
//
//  In addition to the events specified in the initialisation call to function 'zxcSlidePanel'
//  the panel may be controlled by a call to function:
//   zxcSPSlide(MyVariable,'toggle',10);
//  where:
//  parameter 0 = the global variable referencing the script instance.         (global variable)
//  parameter 1 = (string) toggle the panel position.                          (array, default = 'toggle')
//  parameter 1 = (boolean) true = slide in, false = slide out.                (array, default = 'toggle')
//  parameter 2 = (optional) the duration of the move in/out in milli seconds. (digits, default = the default duration)
//

Wow, Thank you very much Vic. your script is fantastic.
but I've got a problem, sorry for my stupid question, I have 3 images in one page , how this script works for all of them?! I read your comments but I can't understand how can I use three <body>s in one page?! such an awful question! I know!

Champion! I can't believe it! It works like a charm, thank you very very much Vic!

**Manhattan** · 08-05-2009, 09:22 PM

Hi Vic sorry a miner request,
While loading the page, the light panel is showing in expanded dimension at first(just a moment) and immediately collapsing. how to prevent it?! ie. it loads in collapsed dimension just at first.
And my last request, I'd like to use a "loading please wait ..." script like this,

Code:

  <script>
 var ld=(document.all);
  var ns4=document.layers;
 var ns6=document.getElementById&&!document.all;
 var ie4=document.all;
  if (ns4)
 	ld=document.loading;
 else if (ns6)
 	ld=document.getElementById("loading").style;
 else if (ie4)
 	ld=document.all.loading.style;
  function init()
 {
 if(ns4){ld.visibility="hidden";}
 else if (ns6||ie4) ld.display="none";
 }
 </script>

But I think there is a conflict between this script and Slide Panel, how to solve it?! do you know a better script for this?!

Thank you very much Vic.
