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?
