Facebox from an image hotspot

**cpn** · 03-06-2011, 11:03 AM

1) Script Title: Facebox image and content viewer (v 1.1)

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

3) Describe problem: I got this to work fine, linking to an external file, both from text and from an image. But I would really like to link from a hotspot on an image. How please?

Experimenting a bit and I found this to be working:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Facebox Demo</title>
<script src="facefiles/jquery-1.2.2.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="facefiles/facebox.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="facefiles/facebox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
      $('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox() 
    })
</script>

</head>
<body>


<img src="myimage.jpg" alt="myimage" width="500" height="500" border="0" usemap="#Map" />

<a href="#mydiv" rel="facebox">
<map name="Map" id="Map"><area shape="circle" coords="277,92,17" href="#" alt="hotspot" />
</map>
</a>

<div id="mydiv" style="display:none">
This is the contents of a hidden DIV on the page, with ID="mydiv" and style set to "display:none"<br /><br />
<a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/facebox/index.htm">Facebox image and content viewer (v 1.1)</a>
</div>


</body>
</html>

This is just an example with a circular hotspot.

Thanks for this. I won't get chance to try it out for a few days maybe. Will let you know how I get on

Wonderful, that works a treat!

but then I tried to link from a second hotspot on the same image to a different external file, and no joy.

Is this possible?

(sorry for being dim)

I'd also like the external files to pop up in the facebox on hover rather than on click. Possible?

Hi cpn, I found a way to use facebox with several hotspots in one image.
The solution was in this thread.
Here is the code I'm using:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Facebox Demo</title>
<script src="facefiles/jquery-1.2.2.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="facefiles/facebox.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="facefiles/facebox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
      $('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox() 
    })
</script>

</head>
<body>

<img src="serpent2.png" alt="serpent" width="500" height="500" border="0" usemap="#Map" />

<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area shape="circle" coords="277,92,17" href="#mydiv" alt="button1" onclick="jQuery('#proxy').attr('href', this.href).click();return false;" />
<area shape="circle" coords="232,199,14" href="#myotherdiv" alt="button2" onclick="jQuery('#proxy').attr('href', this.href).click();return false;" />
<area shape="circle" coords="222,279,16" href="#mythirddiv" alt="button3" onclick="jQuery('#proxy').attr('href', this.href).click();return false;" />
</map>

<div id="mydiv" style="display:none">
This is the contents of a hidden DIV on the page, with ID="mydiv" and style set to "display:none"<br /><br />
<a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/facebox/index.htm">Facebox image and content viewer (v 1.1)</a>
</div>
<div id="myotherdiv" style="display:none">
This is the contents of my other hidden DIV on the page, with ID="myotherdiv" and style set to "display:none"<br /><br />
<a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/facebox/index.htm">Facebox image and content viewer (v 1.1)</a>
</div>
<div id="mythirddiv" style="display:none">
This is the contents of my third hidden DIV on the page, with ID="mythirddiv" and style set to "display:none"<br /><br />
<a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/facebox/index.htm">Facebox image and content viewer (v 1.1)</a>
</div>

<a id="proxy" rel="facebox" style="display:none;"></a>

</body>
</html>

By now I have not found a way to make it appear on hover.
edit. Ok It seems that it works on hover if I just replace onclick with onmouseover
