normally a shadow box is used for instance to enlarge a picture when clicked on or playing a video, i was wondering if i could you the shadow box "method" to create text that pops out when you click on an image? i'm creating a store with CDs and DVDs and thought perhaps i could use this method to save having to create a page for each individual item, this way on the main store view you can click on a CD and a bit of info will pop out i.e the album tracklisting or a synopsis, this would save a huge amount of time if this is possible and will reduce the size of the site dramatically. i hope that made sense? really appreciate any help! |

You can use a lightbox for text but you would need to know HTML & CSS to do this. I am working on some new widgets which are designed to save space on crowded web pages. These include YouTube/Vimeo in a lightbox, text wrap around an image with image expand and some that will launch a div on click from a text or image link. This div can contain either text or an image. Here's a test page showing the one that launches text from an image on click. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

yes that is what im after, text (that you can edit) that appears when clicking on an image, can you use the effect of the shadowbox for this? so it pops out into the centre of the screen with the shadow around it? i do understand HTML & CSS enough to edit it to how i like but i don't know it well enough to create things from scratch, need a template to work from. where can i get the code for what you did on the test page? |

If you want text to appear in a lightbox you can create the content on another EverWeb page and insert it into the lightbox using an iframe. Quote: where can i get the code for what you did on the test page? The test page uses a widget which doesn't require you to deal with any code. Drag it onto the page and enter the data in the widget settings inspector. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Shadow box doesn't work that way. You need to create another HTML doc with the text to appear in it. The widget will be available soon. If you contact me via your other topic I'll let you know more. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
