Swap text as well as image with behaviours

Hi a..,
I am trying to create an interactive section of my site where a visitor can click on a small thumbnail and get a larger image to appear in a larger div (I can get this to work fine with the behaviour "swap image" so there are no problems there), but on the same onClick event I want some text to appear in another div relating to the image. I can get this to work once (using the behaviour "set text > set text to contianer" ), but when I clicks on another tumbnail to view the next image/text, the new text is added ontop of the old text and psuhes it down. What I really want is the old text to ve completely removed and the new text appear. I know this will work easily as an onMouseover/onMouseout effect, but I really want it to work as an onClick event.
I am really bad with javascript. I have tried this line of code in the start of the onClick event, it cleared the text fine, but wouln't allow any more text to be put in the div;
document.getElementByID('textcontainer').innerHTML=' ';
As I said, I am really bad with javascript. I pretty much can't write code myself, although to a certain degree,  I can change code that is already written to suit my needs.
Can someone offer me any help with being able to make this work?
Thanks heaps,
Peter

Hi,
Here is the link to a version of the page;
http://pyrowebdesign.com.au/html/test-site/image-gallery.html
As I said, I am really queit bad with javascript. I have put in a few examples of what i have tried to get it to work.
The basics of it are;
1. I want the thumbnails on the left to swap the<div class="largethumbnialimage"> section which is working fine.
2. On the same click event, I want text to appear in the <div id="comments"> section on the right, and if therre is already text in there from somone clicking on one of the small thumbnails to see the comments, I want that text to disappear/swap/be replaced by the text of the clicked that thumbnail.
The things I have tried make the text appear for the new thumbnail, but the onld text wont disappear and the text stacks up. I know it would be much easier to use an onMouseover/onMouseout event, but I want to put some links in the text so I need the text to say up and have people free to move th emouse over to it.
Thanks for taking th etime to help.
Peter

  • Problem with Alt Text output from thumbnail image of Lightbox widget

    I’m having a problem with the Lightbox widget not producing alternative text based on the image properties.  I’ve set ALT text for the image properties on both the larger Ligtbox image as well as the thumbnail.  But the HTML output from Muse does not include the ALT text on the thumbnail version of the image.  Here’s an example:
        <div class="popup_anchor">
           <div class="Thumb popup_element clearfix" id="u4409"><!-- group -->
            <a class="anchor_item grpelem" id="untitled"></a>
            <div class="grpelem" id="u4433"><!-- image -->
             <img id="u4433_img" src="/images/n0060292x292.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="292" />
    This may be a problem that came in a previous release of Muse.  I have a few older examples where ALT text is produced, but it’s no longer updated if I update the Image Properties.

    I'm seeing the same problem. Looks like a bug to me. Any ideas as to how we can get this on Adobe's bug fix list?

    The shadow effect has to have something to be applied on, but by default text frames borders and fills are invisible.
    If you set the border of your frame to a color & thickness, you'll see it gets a shadow of its own, independent of the text. (Try it with dotted and dashed lines!)
    Additionally, if you set the fill of your text frame to a solid color, you'll see the single solid shadow you were expecting.

  • Image with text

    I have created an image with text (map with town names). The
    text is 12px Verdana bold. When I export to a gif (only a few
    colors) and show on a page I want to get the text to show clear
    when the page is resized. But it does not it becomes more obscure
    as it gets smaller. I have the image which I have styled
    {width:100%;height:100%;} to stop the image expanding the td it's
    in.
    Can anyone advise how best to achieve good font clarity in
    images that may be resized?
    thanks.

    Use Flash format, which is scalable. GIF's are not scalable.

  • Images with same name in different folders being swapped

    I've been out at a printers freelancing and using CS6 for the first time. I've a 64 page document with a large number of images (100+) that have been given various treatments and held in folders named to identify them.
    originals: sweden.jpg, germany.jpg, india.jpg…etc
    saturated: sweden.jpg, germany.jpg, india.jpg…etc
    greyscale: sweden.jpg, germany.jpg, india.jpg…etc
    and so on. The document contains differnt combinations of these pictures, all in all I've about 1,000 image links in the document.
    I opened up my document this morning and found for some reason the links to the images were broken - no idea why as no folders seem to have been moved but when I relinked to one of them - say a greyscale image - they ALL linked to the wrong set - the "saturated" ones. Looking at the image path in the links panel I see that's what's happened, ALL the link paths to ALL the images say "saturated", never mind the fact they're greyscale in the document.
    So is this a known issue? At the moment I can't find any solution but to relink manually over a thousand images, which, lets face it, is a bit of a disaster for me and the job deadline.
    I've used indesign for years and never come across anything even CLOSE to this sort of behaviour.

    InDesign has a feature that will automatically search for other missing links when you fix a missing link. When you relinked the first of your grayscale images, you may have accidentally relinked to the saturated image. When this happened it searched the directory that the newly re-linked file was in for all the other missing files. Since your image names all matched up to images in that directory, they all got re-linked.
    This auto-relink feature can be toggled in the relink dialog:
    If you have a backup of your file, you can revert to that version, and try to relink your images from that one. In the future you should make sure that images all have unique identifiers, it is bad practice to have images with identical names.

  • Importing images with text into Final cut pro

    I'm using FC Studio on a 15" Powerbook 1.67 GHZ 1.5 GB RAM OSX 10.4.9 with a 300GB external HD.
    I'm editing a short film and am using some still images. I've successfully imported and used photographs edited in photoshop. I'm trying to import what is essentially a screen shot of a MSword Doc consisting of boxes, text and graphics.
    I've exported the word doc to PDF and imported to photoshop with 300dpi and saved as both jpeg and png. When viewed in photoshop the resolution of the text appears normal. It imports sucessfully but when viewed in full size in the timeline or external monitor the resolution of the text is terrible. I've also tried adjusting the scale of the image in the Canvas.
    I've read up on this issue a little and have tried reducing and increased the image size and dpi. Has anyone else tried to import still images with text??
    I apolgise if this issue has already been addressed - I've tried using the solutions provided for still images (without text) but have come up against a wall!
    I would appreciate any help or feedback!

    I have used Adobe Illustrator saved out as.png with great results.

    Yes, you can dynamically add components to a page.

  • Swap text

    I have some buttons which upon rollover will swap images. I
    also want
    them to swap text though and am wondering if I can keep the
    text text
    and how that is done. So I am looking to do a swap image, but
    not with
    an image, but with text. What is the best way to do this?
    Thanks,

    > div/layers because not everyone has new web browsers

    Your teacher is uninformed.
    > Do you think they did the div tag with that?
    Yes, I did that with a div tag.
    The trick is this:
    Put a layer on the page. Use DW's SetTextOfLayer behavior to
    do the text
    swaps for each button, all swapping the text in that layer.
    When you are
    finished, remove the absolute positioning from the layer, and
    you will have
    exactly the same effect.
    But - this depends on your ability to have a page layout that
    can
    accommodate positioning such things.

  • Trouble with behaviours

    Hi,
    I'm attempting to create a page with the swap image
    behaviour, when I roll over a thumbnail, it replaces a seperate
    image with the larger version of the thumbnail. This works fine,
    the problem is under the image I want a body of text to change each
    time a new thumbnail is rolled over too. I have used the show/hide
    behaviour which hides the existing text in its div tag, but how do
    I get my new text in its place??
    Thanks

    It's the SetText of Container behavior, and it's the perfect
    solution.
    See Nadia's demonstration here -
    http://dreamweaverresources.com/tutorials/settextoflayer.htm
    The trick is to create a dummy page with the larger image and
    its caption
    already placed. Then copy that HTML fragment, and PASTE it
    into the SetText
    behavior dialog.

  • Help on resizing text boxes and general image techniques

    Using CS2.
    I have two basic questions.  One has to do with getting the best vector images (with text) that I can for placement in InDesign documents.  The other has to do with the specifics of working with text boxes in FW.
    The easiest way for me to produce vector images has been by using PowerPoint.  I do all the graphics work and then save it as a gif.  I do cropping in a graphics tool (Irfanview, PS) and then insert or place the image.  As long as there is no resizing, things work well.  I'm not sure how things like DPI are controlled using this technique but I'm assuming that also would be done with the graphics tool.  I know Irfanview allows for the dpi to be specified during resizing.
    The problem starts to show up when the gif object is resized.  Things get distorted and I lose the crispness of the image contents.  I'm certainly not an expert on graphics however I've been thinking I either need to 1) make the actual size of graphics in PP the size of the final placed image so there is no resizing (just some cropping) or 2) to work in a tool like FW where (I'm assuming) there are better capabilities to resize vector graphics.  My sense (again, not an expert) is that the process I'm using converts to vector graphics in PP to a bitmap image in the gif and that resizing doesn't work as well for bitmaps as for vector objects.  Do I have that right?
    Moving on to question 2:
    Can text boxes be resized in FW without distorting the text?  Can their size be seen when originally drasing them?  Perhaps spoiled by PowerPoint, I like to set the width of vector objects (e.g. rectangle) and the width of the text that will fill it to the same size.  (I know PP has the ability to put borders on text boxes but when working in FW I need to work with 2 objects, the rectangle and the text box).  Say I have a rectangle that is 81px wide.  Can I set a text box to 81px wide without distorting the text?
    I tend to want to control actual object sizes so I can get good spacial alignment.  For example, I tend to set the width of a text object to an odd number of px so that any line coming out of the text object aligns well with the text.  I must admit that it may be time for me to use a different technique in FW (e.g. more alignment of multiple objects vs. knowing dimensions and seting locations).  Does my approach need improvement?
    Thanks for any advice
    Tom

    As I wean off of PP I've started looking at FW and Illustrator (I have both).  I've done a logo or two in FW and have used it to build some simple web graphics (e.g. buttons, menus).  It can, as I recall, be a little more complex than what I need in this case.
    Since PP is not a graphics program, its drawing capabilities are very limited. As a consequence, any graphics application will have many more features than you're used to seeing and more than you need for any one project.
    I did a little experimenting with Illustrator and my first impression is that it will work better for me for this work.  It seems a little more intuitive.
    Is a general guideline to use FW for web-destined graphics and Illustrator for what I used to do in PP?
    Your suggested guideline is good. Also, note that if you make a logo or vector graphic in Illustrator (saving as .ai format), you can import that into Fireworks and work with it as a vector object there. FW can import and use, just not create, .ai objectes and files.
    FW has some vector tools, they are tucked away under Window > Others > Path. Since FW is intended for producing Web graphics, it is a hybrid application, capable of both vector and photo/image editing. Given that it has some of both, it necessarily doesn't have everything that Illustrator has nor everything that Photoshop has. It has most the features of both of those programs, as long as the feature is useful for a Web graphics designer. For pure photo editing Photoshop has the edge; for pure illustration, Illustrator has the edge. Both Photoshop and Illustrator support color profiles and other features important for print that Fireworks does not. All are good programs, but there are reasons to prefer one over the other depending on what kind of graphics you need to create or work with and what your intended use of the work is. (But any of them will be superior to PowerPoint! )
    I'm not sure I can unravel the mystery with the text box resizing.  I suspect theres an option selected.  Knowing it can be done is enough for me to do some homework.
    Maybe...don't think of text boxes at all. You have text objects. The object has a bounding box that is determined by the underlying definition of the font, but it isn't in a text box. (Sometimes swooshs will extend beyond the defining box of a character in the font, but that is another issue). The bounding box for the text object is similar to the bounding box of a circle or a star or an irregular shape. There's a reference box for the dimensions, but the text is not inside some other independent container.
    To resize, select the text object and change the font size either using the Properties palette or using the scale tool to drag on a corner of the scaling outline (different from the bounding box, and I don't know why, sorry).
    I think that,with Illustrator, you can define text boxes (or other shapes) and fill them with text. *searches* Ah.. Like these: http://school.tatoland.com/illustrator/aitype.html
    cheers!

  • Changing images with c#

    Hi,
    I am making a slotmachine. I have everything but only need an animation for changing the images. This is what i got(only the code for the animation). I can change 2 images but don't know how to do it with multiple images like 5.
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Drawing;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    namespace animatie
        public partial class Form1 : Form
            public Form1()
                InitializeComponent();
                Timer t = new Timer();
                t.Interval = 100;
                t.Tick += new EventHandler(t_Tick);
                t.Start();
            bool one;
            void t_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
                Image img;
                if (one) img = imageList1.Images[0];  
                else img = imageList1.Images[1];                      
                one = !one;
                pictureBox1.Image = img;

    Since it seems like you have it working for 2 images then expanding it to any # of images is straightforward. It looks like you're trying to animate the spinning wheel on the slot machine so that is the basis I'm working against.  I'm also assuming
    you want to stick with the image list but there are other approaches as well.
    Firstly make sure your images are all in the image list. Next I would recommend that you move the timer start logic out of your constructor.  You don't want it running when the form is created because it hasn't even been displayed yet.  If you
    want the spinning to start as soon as the form is displayed then override the OnLoad and start the timer at that point.  I would recommend that you move this functionality into a separate method because you'll probably want to be able to spin the wheels
    by clicking a button as well. 
    Since you're using an image list you'll need to keep track of the "current" image.  To do that a simple image index field should be fine.  Each time the timer fires you increment the index by 1.  If it gets to the end of the list
    (>= count) then reset it to 0.  Then set the PictureBox image to the image at that index.  This gives you the wrapping logic you want.  It won't give you a smooth transition image though, each image will basically just pop up. 
    If you want a smooth transition then you might need to look at using a single image with images on it and the timer is simply having the window viewport move "down" the image in a scrolling fashion.  When it gets to the bottom it loops back
    around.  For that kind of implementation a PictureBox is probably not a good idea, you'll want to use a simple custom control that handles its own painting instead.
    Since you'll need to do this 3 times (one for each window) you might consider moving the logic into a custom control that represents a single window, the timer logic, image selection and image list.  You can then use 3 instances on your form to emulate
    the slot machine.  Note that you'll want to add some randomness to the spinning because if each window spins at the same speed you'll always get the same behavior.  Therefore you should probably have each window randomly decide how long and how fast
    to spin to introduce randomness to the spinning.

  • Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

    Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
    I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3.  Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
    The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place).  So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice.  And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
    I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway?  It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
    The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc).  But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
    http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
    Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
    UPDATE 16/11/09
    Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
    Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

    When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
    The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
    This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
    Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?
