    Hey guys, I’m dipping my toe into JQuery and am fooling around with the galleria plugin (you can view the beast in it’s natural element at http://devkick.com/lab/galleria/demo_01.htm#img/grass-blades.jpg). I’ve copied the code over to my testbed fairly faithfully, but have made some changes to the layout, dimensions, etc.. You can view that here http://oldkitbag.com/sonta/.

    I have also, however, tried to add two little effects of my own and I’m afraid I’m making a sad mess of it:

    In the initial version, the title attr of the image was pulled and placed in a span underneath the main image, in my version I’ve placed it in a div and given it a scroll-type animation to reveal itself upon the mouse hovering over the main image. So far so good, but now this text is without <p> or <span> tags and difficult to style exactly. I’ve tried append, ‘wrapinner’, etc, and even tried to create a new element (i.e. a <p>) and insert it within the div I created previously, but without the proper know-how that just wasn’t working. I’ve left it without any tags for the moment, but any help here would be great.

    My second problem is that, in giving the main image a hover function, I’ve obviously conflicted with the initial version’s method which was to display a tool tip ("Next Image>>") and activated to next image on mouseclick. What I want is to wrap the images in an anchor tag to lead to a page dedicated to that image’s subject matter and to have the JQuery pull that anchor link, hide it , and then activate it when someone clicks on the main image. Changing the content of the tooltip is (thankfully!) not a prob.

    I’m including below all the coding involved, for which I apologise in advance. I’m just at the very, very beginning of learning this stuff and I’m not 100% as to what’s relevant or not…

    Firstly, the image list, without anchor tags:

    Code:

    Then the header content:

    Code:

    And finally, the plugin code itself. I understand it in pieces, but unfortunately get lost along the way :D !:

    Again, apologies for the long code, but any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I learn by doing, and I’m really liking what this JQuery can achieve…
    Ta! :D

    Aha! I saw that error myself, but had no idea what was causing it…

    That’s interesting – does that mean that you can’t actually use the hover event without specifying a mouseout function? Doesn’t that make ‘hover’ a bit pointless?

    EDIT – Ok changed the hover function to the following and got rid of that error:

    Code:
    image.css(‘display’,’none’).fadeIn(1000);
    caption.css(‘top’,’-375px’);
    $(“.replaced”).mouseover(function(){
    $(“.caption”).animate({top:’0px’},’slow’);
    image.attr(‘title’,’Next image >>’); });

    $(“.replaced”).mouseout(function(){
    $(“.caption”).animate({top:’-375px’},’slow’);
    image.attr(‘title’,’Next image >>’); });

    Any of you ninja’s have a crack at the rest? :D
