    onMouseOver image to popup window

    PBGV Community Member
      I recently upgraded from Dreamweaver 8 to CS3. Previously, using behaviors, I was able to have a pop up window appear with a larger version of a thumbnail image. I have spent hours (cannot remember exactly what I did before) trying to recreate this in CS3...no luck. Have searched everything in site and cannot find instruction. Following is the page that does work and the code. Can you help? Veronica

      <a href="javascript:;" onmouseover="MM_showHideLayers('Layer3','','show')" onmouseout="MM_showHideLayers('Layer3','','hide')"><img src="images/show dogs/1-fairchild-thumb.jpg" alt="Fairchild" name="Fairchild" width="120" height="120" vspace="2" border="0" id="Fairchild" /></a><br />

      <a href="javascript:;" onmouseover="MM_showHideLayers('Layer4','','show')" onmouseout="MM_showHideLayers('Layer4','','hide')"><img src="images/show dogs/2-fairchild-thumb.jpg" alt="Fairchild2" name="Fairchild2" width="120" height="120" vspace="2" border="0" id="Fairchild2" /></a><br />

          I checked your url in Firefox and IE7 and the behaviors seem to be
          working just fine.

            The page I listed was one I had created in Dreamweaver 8. Now I am working on a different page in Dreamweaver CS3 and cannot create the same effect. When I did the first one, I remember thinking how easy; however, cannot remember how I managed to select a thumbnail image and attach behaviors to create this same effect. Am thinking something has changed in CS3 and notice "deprecated" in behavior panel with grayed out hide/show pop up menu. Can you help or lead me to instructions? Thanks, v

              Don't confuse pop-up menus with popup windows. The behavior you want is
              still there - OpenBrowser Window. But Michael's divaPop may be a better
              choice -

                I will look into Michael's divaPop. The open browser window opens a 2nd browser window rather than a layer as in my original page. Thanks for your suggestion, v

                  Oh - in that case you just want the Show/Hide Elements behavior.

                    It was meant to be simple that anyone can fall over:) I think my problem was I do not remember what actually worked with the show/hide behavior. I thought I had selected the img tag and seem to remember adding a div around existing thumbnail, then what behavior do I choose? I think if if knew that step, then I could show or hide the behavior upon mouseover....v

                      Add a link around the image. Select the image, and enter "javascript:;"
                      (that's colon semicolon) in the Link field of the Property inspector. Then
                      apply the behavior to the <a> tag.
