Lightbox Effect For Text

[sally]

Hello All,

Is it possible for a text link, say a heading, that can pop up with text detail the way the Lightbox feature does for images. For example supposing I had a recipe for Duck Soup, which is a link, but when its pressed a pop up window would appear with the details?

Cheers,

Sally.

You should search the available scripts (and the various formats) at www.dynamicdrive.com and even www.hotscripts.com

Hi, if you are not quite confident to work with code just yet. Might be worth using this thread for a popup. LINK

Thanks for that but every time I copy the code into the URL Property box, save and publish, it simply resorts back to http://www.mydomain.com/page.html

I am not sure what makes this happen, but a few have had the same thing happening. For some reason when I put more than one on the page & then remove the 1st one it seems to solve it. (Don’t ask me why?) But worth a try. lol.

Cheers Collector, but I'll have to stick to more basic stuff. EWe'll get there eventually.

How about trying the rollover tool in BV?

Hi,

How would I use text with that facility and is their a control over the rollover time?
