Help popups again!

[rainie +]

Hello again,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to add help/info popups to the category titles (under the browse categories on the main page).
I know the javascript to use, but cannot remember which file to place this in: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onmouseover="return overlib('My popup text.')" onmouseout="return nd();"> <img src="images/help.png" border="0" /></a>

Again, I need it to go beside the categories I created on the home page.
I had done it before, but for one reason or another, lost all the editing I'd previously done.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Did you try home.tpl

Thanks for the reply.
Not sure if that's the one to edit. If it is, can you give me some pointers as to what to add/delete?
Thanks again

Hi,

Was just wondering (again!) if anyone knows which file to place the javascript into to allow me to assign a help popup to the categories I've created on the homepage?
I've done it before, but for various reasons have lost all the editing I'd done.

I know what to put, just don't know where to place it. I was told it may be the home or browse.tpl file, but I've no idea what to edit/remove.
Can anyone give me a step by step guide?
Any help always appreicated.
Thanks

Try this; Placing help popups

Thanks for the reply but that's my original posting! I did figure out how to do it, (as per the link you provided) but have had all my editing deleted since then and now cannot remember which file I placed the code in.
I really only need to know which file to place the javascript in to enable the popup..and also what to edit or delete.

thanks

As Mike said, its home.tpl in your template folder or if you are referring to the categories page itself then its browse.tpl in your template folder.

Many thanks for the reply.
I'm unsure as to what to edit however..
This is the code for the home.tpl file but I'm unsure as to what to add or remove. Don't want to mess anything up.
So, if I had a category named 'Properties' and wanted to add a help popup image and description, what would I need to add?
Your help is appreciated.

OK, here's the deal...
The file that you want to add your overlib javascript help to is generating the categories dynamically (ie: when you go to the page the php script is going to the database and finding your categories and then feeding them into your page). The way the code that you have works is on a mouseover for something that is static (ie: something that is already on the page). So the bottom line is this, unless you are going to hand code in all of your categories so that you can then put the help code in for each category, you won't be able to use this.

Now, I'm not saying that the overlib help couldn't also be done dynamically as the categories are generated now, but that would be a much more complex and completely different scenario!
