    Expanding images

    CarlBe1 Community Member
      Hi

      Can anyone tell me how I can create an expanding box/image on mouseover - that reverts to the thumbnail when the mouse "moves on".
      The Rollover remains the same size - even with the same but larger image selected.

      Thank you

      Carl

            It's just a simple image swap. You would have two images that are the same
            size. One has lots of canvas around it, and the other (the 'enlarged' one)
            fills that canvas area.

              Hi Murray

              Is this done through the image rollover?

              The important thing is that as the mouse cursor goes over the thumbnail - the image enlarges (to whatever size I choose) until the mouse cursor moves away.

              I am so sorry to sound so thick - but can you explain in detail how I achieve this with Dreamweaver 8?

              Many thanks

              Carl

                Hi again Murray!

                I have had a go at that and it works just fine -- very very many thanks.

                Is there any way in which the transition from the small to the large can be less abrupt - a sort of gradual enlargement?

                  That would require lots more work, unfortunately. HTML or even simple
                  javascript has no facility for doing such transitions. But you can surely
                  find some custom script with clever Google-ing....
