Hey all,
Thanks for the great responses so far. I've tried Paulo's advice by
adding his bit of code on the #recommended div but to no avail. It
worked somewhat, but it displayed the descriptions as more of a
tooltip rather than directly under the row of thumbnails in the area
that I'd prefer it to be. Also, since IE doesn't render a:hover
correctly, it doesn't work in that aspect.
A website that does this how I'd like is www.abum.com (Semi NWS)
I tried to replicate it by looking at that code, but can't seem to get
it right. Now quite sure what they are doing differently. If anyone
can figure it out from there, I'd really appreciate it. I feel like
I'm so close...
Also, Mou, I'd added you to our mailing list and we will alert you
when we have a beta version up and running. I've got my backend coder
working day and night on it so I'll definitely keep you in touch.
Thanks for the help so far!
