Good day everyone, I would like to create a mouseover effect on one of the pages I am working on in RSD where if you hover over the text, an image and description (text) comes up. How would you go about doing that in RSD? Thanks for your input, it is greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,
Patrick

It all depends on the look your after. I would take a look at jquery tooltipster

I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Hi Patrick,

I basically asked the same question a few hours earlier. You sound like you got the best answer. Please post how the tooltipster worked with RSD. You can be the beta tester, LOL.
If it works well for you I will try it out as well.

Thanks

Good afternoon Eric, I just took a look at the link you posted with the tooltipster and the explanation looks a lot more simple than the actual tooltipster webpage. How would I go about making changes to the code if I just wanted to use text to mouseover and have a picture with text come up instead. Also, I downloaded tooltipster and only copied the css and min.js files to my resources folders, will it still work or do I have to copy the entire folder I downloaded. Thanks so much Eric.

Respectfully,
Patrick

My guess is the text or the "Name" would be the #tooltip, and the tooltipster would be the image and the text sandwiched in between like you have in the example. Each "name" would be in its own html element box and the function would be in the footer of each box example, is that correct?

Alter the code to be this.
$('#tooltip1').tooltipster({
content: $('<span><strong>This has text only.</strong></span>')
});

I update my tooltip page.;)

Thanks Eric, will this produce a picture and text when I hover over the content text? Also, will the copied css and js.min files work or will I need to copy the entire tooltipster folder, also will I be using individual html element boxes? Thanks Eric, I appreciate it very much.

I guess I'm not clear on what your actually looking for.
1. Image with tooltip text
2. Image with tooltip text and image.
3. Text with tooltip text
4. Text with tooltip text and image.
