trigger using text not an image

Posted: Aug 23, 2010

Instead of using my equivalent of:

<img src="thumbs/barcelona-pavilion2.jpg" rel="#mies2"/>

as at http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/overlay/index.html

how can I use text (without a link, since the link tries to go somewhere) as my trigger?

Thanks!

wrap the word(s) you want as the trigger in a span, and change the selector for "overlay()" from:

$("img[rel]").overlay();

to 

$("span[rel]").overlay();

You will probably want to give the spans a class like "overlayTrigger" and rewrite the selector with "span.overlayTrigger[rel]"

alternatively, You could use a "link" or anchor element, just don't specify the href attribute.

Thanks again; works perfectly, randyfyfe :-)

What's the current thinking on (= best way) closing an overlay by clicking elsewhere on the 'main' page - outside it?
