Hello ladies and gentleman,
I'm looking for a script that will allow me to generate floating layers on the page, when a link is clicked. I need to be able to pass variable images and text to the layer, dependent on which link is clicked.
So, imagine a page with thumbnails on it. When you click one of them, a layer appears which contains a larger version of the same picture, and a block of text that describes it.
Then when you click one of the other thumbs, the original layer disappears, and is replaced by a new one with a different image, and different text.
I have mocked up a page -
www.aandrengineering.com/sweetfavours/racketts.html -
(Please don't judge me on the content - I am doing this for someone else!) where the first thumbnail generates a layer that looks like what I want, and the others create pop-up windows on the fly, which act the same way as the layers that I want, but I don't want pop-ups, so I can avoid running into trouble with Pop-Up Blockers.
These two functions together show what I am looking to create, but I can't find a script that does both things, and I don't know enough to be able to amend or write my own.
Can anyone help? I'd really appreciate it if you can.
Many thanks,
Alphawolf
