Display image onmouseover

I would like the ability for the user to display an image if they hover their mouse over a link (Any component will do), but I'm doing something incorrectly.

1. I unchecked the Visible property of the Image in the Description of the Image.
2. I created a link.
3. In the Mouse Over code block I put the following code:
IMG_IMAGE_XX..Visible = True

If I move that code to the Click of Link code I can get the Image to appear, but I'd much rather that it occurs only on a mouse over.

Hello Kewpe20

Is any code being executed on mouse over ?
One way to make sure is to try an info("mouse is hovering") message to ensure that something is really happening.

You say that :
If I move that code to the Click of Link code I can get the Image to appear, but I'd much rather that it occurs only on a mouse over.

Can you use executeprocess() in the mouse over code to run that Link code ?

Hi,

Hi,

I tried duplicating what you described and sure enough I had the same problem. I inserted an info and sure enough it was displayed, but the hiding or moving the other control did not work. Perhaps the executeprocess that was suggested might do the trick.

Let us know

the ExecuteProcess() almost worked.
The problem this creates is it's as if the user is clicking the link thousands of times per second while the user has their mouse over the link. This causes the server to disconnect.

I put this in the On Click code but I realize now why it doesn't work. I only mention it because I thought it might give someone with more Webdev experience an idea on how to resolve this.


On Click Code
IMG_IMAGE_XX..Visible = True
BTDisableService(IMG_IMAGE_XX,trtClick)

Onmouseover Code
ExecuteProcess(BTN_Button1,trtClick)

Hi...

What about testing if the image is visible before doing the executeprocess... This way, only one click would be done

In fact, if you test first, it's possible that making the image visible ONCE would work in the OnMouseOver code
