I rarely shout in caps at people online but i'm going to here...YOU'RE A FLIPPIN' BEAUTY!!

Thank you so much for that js code, it now works a charm, I can load the overlay by clicking on an image now, truely thank you so much!.

on a side note, this fix might well benefit the overlay example page, because I know if cambrosi hadn't have responded to my post I'd still be stuck.

Once again, thank you so much for that fix, BRILLIANT!

hey thanks for the reply.
I tried using the html code above but it still wont open the overlay when I click on the image

<a rel="#overlay1" href="#" ><img src="/img/video.gif" height="145" width="107" alt="" border="0" /></a> 

I have all the js and other codes loaded into the page, as when i have a button calling the overlay, it works perfectly.

The result with the above code is that the image is clickable, yet does nothing

hey there, firstly id like to say that the flowplayer is awesome, secondly, I'm having a small issue implementing the overlay in my webpages.

I've been following this tutorial:http://flowplayer.org/demos/tools/overlay.html and got it working perfectly from a button link.

The issue I'm having is calling the overlay from an image. this is to say that I want to load the overlay via clicking on an image, not a button. I've tried calling the rel link in a href tag, but it wont load the overlay. I figured it would given the rel link works for a button.

I've looked all over the place trying to find a fix for this, but seem to have hit a dead end.

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys

Hi there, lots of interesting snippets of code here, but I'm having trouble getting an overlay to work.

after going through the overlay examples, trying to implement code into my pages, and failing horribly, I came at it from a different approach.

I managed to re-create this examplehttp://flowplayer.org/demos/plugins/overlay2.htm

Now I know this code is designed to load the flowplayer, and then the respective videos into the overlay, but what I'm trying to do is load another page. The reason for this is that I will have a video player on the page, and a short description underneath the video, I figured it would be too hard to set up using code, so i want to link to say, videopageone.htm in one overlay, and say videopagetwo.htm in another overlay on the same page.

I've really really tried to get my head around the code, but I keep failing to make anything happen.

If someone could hold my hand and show me exactly where to add/change code and what it should be changed to, i'd forever be your faithful slave.

Many thanks
Nick
