Re: [css-d] Hover delay
A good point Tedd. Sometimes we strive to be over complex, when simplicity would probably be better. I have seen plenty of examples of what I want to achieve, but they all rely on each thumbnail being accessible to ":hover" without triggering any adjacent ones. The only way round that one would be to include a large space between elements to allow the pointer to navigate without triggering. Absolutely wonderful for a CSS "maze" but totally useless to the normal user! The jury's still out on whether to use a peripheral array of thumbnails using a fly-out on :hover, or whether to use a block of thumbnails (which would allow an infinite number next to each other) with the fly-out triggered by mouse clicks. I certainly won't be resorting to JavaScript and I'm sure CSS will achieve a satisfactory method.

The typical way is of course to move the pointer across things and then click on what you want to see -- that's simple enough and expected. To put a delay into that functionality so that user doesn't have to click, then you'll have to use javascript. But what if a user does click during that time? Do you want the image to enlarge? I think you'll find this is a bigger problem than what you might imagine. My advice, keep it simple and what the user expects. Besides, without javascript that's what it's going to do anyway, right?

Re: [css-d] Hover delay
I agree. It looks as if (unfortunately) you're right. :-( Regards, Alan. www.theatreorgans.co.uk www.virtualtheatreorgans.com Admin: ConnArtistes, UKShopsmiths, 2nd Touch & A-P groups Shopsmith 520 + bits Flatulus Antiquitus - Original Message - From: Ingo Chao To: Alan K Baker Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 1:29 PM Subject: Re: [css-d] Hover delay Alan K Baker wrote: > Hi all. > > I'm looking for a way to delay the action of a 'hover' detection for > a photo gallery. I don't think CSS could do that.

Re: [css-d] Hover delay
A lot of food for thought on that site, thanks. I can't find exactly what I want, but there are a good few ideas which may make me decide to modify my method.

[css-d] Hover delay
Hi all. I'm looking for a way to delay the action of a 'hover' detection for a photo gallery. What I want to do is to move the mouse pointer across a block of thumbnails and then have an 'auto-enlargement' appear over the entire block, ONLY after the pointer has been stationary for 500mS or so. Then when the pointer is moved away from the enlargement, the thumbnail block should revert to its former state. I've put a rough example at: http://www.webbwize.co.uk/Test_Area/AllSaints/scripts/gallery.html which is far from satisfactory and contains no real positioning for the 'enlargement'. I don't necessarily want to 'fix' the current code, but to find a way of navigating to the center thumbnails without triggering the hover state, which in any case at present is too unstable. Ideas welcome.
