I wish I Spoke PHP

Posted in PHP, lightbox 2.2, mouseover, oscommerce, popup, website on March 4, 2008 by brushfires

The website is moving on… slowly. I am an average computer user. I understand the stuff you need to make it work, and I am learning more but the time it has taken me to figure out how to create mouseover images in Oscommerce and how to add an image that is not of a product is ridiculous. Not to mention the mouseover effect only works on buttons and products not on the new images too.

Very irritating! I just want to have an image of the painting/drawing which when moused over shows the original photo. Ideally then it would be clickable to show a pop up using the cool new lightbox 2 popup application.

Can I make it work? No. I am in danger of Computer Versus Wall Syndrome if it keeps mucking me about. I have trawled forums searching in vain for a solution that works. It seems I am alone in my desires. Is there anyone out there who knows how it works?

Surely it can’t be that hard. Can it?

The drawings of Lindley, Grace and Alex made it to Texas and have been framed and hung and if you click here you can see them in situ.
