Hi Guys.
First off i'd like to say Hi as i'm new to the forums. But am looking forward to spending a lot of time here. I am currently studying Javascript to help create a bit more user interaction with my websites which I use CSS/XHTML and PHP5 to design.
Ok with that said I was hoping someone might be able to lend a slight hand. I am trying to create an Image menu for a site I'm working on that is rather simple in essence. When the user hovers over a button I have the menu will move left or right depending.
I have not got a great deal into it yet as I have become stuck, as I'm new I figured it would be easier to troubleshoot if I build up the program bit by bit.
----> menupic variable is being passed by php into javascript
Code:
function moveImagesLeft() {
for (i=0; i<=100; i++) {
setPixels = (i + 2);
for (L=1; L<=menuPic; L++){ /* this loop makes sure that all the pictures move together */
indexpic = "menupic"+L;
document.getElementById(indexpic).style.left="-"+setPixels+"px";
}
}
}
Ok, very simple. I have a DIV container that holds my images and the overflow is hidden, php works out how many images there are and feeds that into javascript. This all works fantastically however it seems that once I reach the bottom of my second for loop
Code:
document.getElementById(indexpic).style.left="-"+setPixels+"px";
Nothing else happens, the pictures all shift left 2pixels as they should but nothing else.
The top loop is not going again (excuse the poor use of terminology)
I dont know if it makes a different but where the images are they are declared as so.
Code:
<a href="#"><img class="menupic" id="menupic1,2,3,4,5 (etc)" src="_image" border="0" height="50" width="60"></a>
Code:
.menupic {position:relative; display:block; width:60px, height:40px}
and the Id class is there so that my javascript can control it.
I hope that I have worded this in a way that is easily understandable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I try not to ask for too much help because working things out is part of the learning curve but in this instance I have spent a lot of time and not found a solution.
Kindest Regards
Oli
