Track Info - HTML help required
« on: May 14, 2002, 01:28:18 pm »

Hi

I would not call myself a developer, but these questions would be out of place in the other forum.

I have produced and uploaded two track info templates which use external files for, amongst other things, cover art. I display the cover art at 350x3@@. I have tried to incorporate a mouse rollover on the image using the Adobe GoLive tool, but have had no success.

What I am trying to achieve is the following:

Default = cover.jpg [img src="TRACKINFO_INSERT_TRACKPATH/cover.jpg"]
Mouseover = tray.jpg [img src="TRACKINFO_INSERT_TRACKPATH/tray.jpg"]

It would be cool to get a mouse click on the cover art to open the source directory in windows, but I think that step might be too ambitious.

When I mouseover, the result is a broken link. Is this a problem with using java/DHTML on the index (or generated)page?

Any help would be appreciated.

In most collections there will be cover art which is missing; is there any way to redirect a broken image link to a default image?

Also, I postedon the other forum, that the last played function will show the number of times played, but the last time played comes up as the current playing time. Any ideas?

Thanks for your offer of help Mouseman...

After working through it, I guess a mouseover wouldn't be as good as new page, especially as the image sizes and shapes are different!

So Multimo V has an extra page for tray/back cover. I am really inspired by the new Ischl Mega-Me skin, so I may come out of retirement for one more Trackinfo page. But I have really got too much on my plate at the mo to be sat here crunching HTML!

It seems that there is a small band of about 50 people who use external images, but they haven't exactly been vociferous in the [Comment] as to what they would like to see in the Track info page, but I hope I have pointed the way at least.
