I wanted to post a question asking how to do full-sized image popups when you mouseover a thumbnail but I didn't know what coding language would be best for that... javascript? I want to post it in the right forum.

I decided to go with this one: http://www.kevinandamanda.com/whatsn...pop-up-preview
But I'm not having any luck with it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I added the css to my stylesheet, uploaded the .js file, and made a test page here: http://opalcat.com/article/testing-mouseover
But nothing happens when I mouseover the image. I'm sending them an email but I thought I'd post here as well, in case there is something obvious I'm doing wrong.
Is there a way to tell if the .js file is actually loading? Do I need to put a slash at the beginning so it looks in the main directory? Or would I need an absolute path from the server to do that?Comment

Compare their HTML source to yours ...
At the top of their script, they reference several .js and .css files ... you do not.
I suspect you're missing .js scripts, .css files, and possibly path references to them are not correct?

I added their css to my own css file so I wouldn't have to reference them both... will that not work?
In their example included in the zip file (which works) the html is only this:
Code:<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"> <script src="mouseover_popup.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <body> <div style="display: none; position: absolute; z-index: 110; left: 400; top: 100; width: 15; height: 15" id="preview_div"></div> <img src="smallpic.jpg" border="0" onmouseover="showtrail('largepic.jpg','Title of the Picture Goes Here',310,440)" onmouseout="hidetrail()"></a> </body> </html>Comment

I separated it out so that the stylesheet is on its own, but it still isn't working.
Again, the example only calls for one .js file and the example works when I open it.
AHA I figured it out. I had to put the full url to the .js file in the head tag. A relative path nor just the filename worked.Comment
