[jQuery] lightbox newsletter signup
hey guys! i'm trying to figure out how to develop this solution using a couple of jquery plugins. i have a text link on a site i'm working on that says 'Tell a Friend'. the idea is to have a user click it, then a lightbox will come up with a small form with a couple of text fields. then the user can click submit, and a nice little confirmation or declination will appear in the lightbox. if the form data is confirmed as correct and everything was sent correctly, then after a few seconds the lightbox will dim out and the user can continue browsing the site. i think this is two plugins in one, but i'm not sure =). anyone have any ideas for this? has it been done before? is there an easy solution? advice? etc.. i'd really appreciate it guys! thanks!

[jQuery] Re: jQuery Cycle Plugin help needed
yeah thanks to mike for a friggin awesome plugin!
i'm glad you liked checking out the labradoodles! this site is for a
friend of mine. they sold tiger woods his labradoodle! awesome huh?
they're beautiful dogs. anyway, i'm having one more little issue.
everything works GREAT, but i want to add some text over the images as
they fade. for instance, each image illustrates a small part of an
article about labradoodles. i want to have a text link overlay the
image and have it say 'read article >' and a user could click it. then
when the image fades, the link does also, until the next image fades
in, with it's own text link to its own article. i'm not having much
luck since i need to write each link it's own class in the stylesheet
because they need to be positioned a little differently from eachother
over their images. how would i do this? the plugin doesn't like to see
div tags after each image. it doesn't like it when i put text within
the image tags. what do you think i should do?
thanks again for everything!!!

[jQuery] Re: jQuery Cycle Plugin help needed
mike and karl thank you guys so much for helping me out with this problem. as you guys have found i figured out what the problem was. and it turns out i was sorta correct in my assumption. there was something wrong with the jquery cycle plugin. it had the wrong permissions and was owned by the wrong user and was associated with the wrong group on my linux server! but i'm having another problem with the cycle. i hav a css dropdown menu where my navigation bar is. i can't see it now that the cycle is over it. i need the dropdown =\. what do you guys suggest? is there a way to get around that?

Mike and Karl. thank you both for helping me with this thread! so just for documentation's sake i'll explain what happened: i run a linux machine and i have an apache server running. all of the files that are served on it need to have certain permissions and be owned by a certain user and be associated with a certain group. the jquery cycle plugin had the wrong permissions and and wrong group and wrong owner. as soon as i changed it, the slideshow worked. i've added more pictures too. i'll be moving to using the 'pager' also found on the same page on your site. i am however having one other problem. before the slideshow worked, i had a dropdown menu on my navbar. but now with the slideshow over it, you can't see the dropdown when you rollover the navbar. sooo, i kinda need the navbar. what do you guys recommend?

thank you so much for the reply! but unfortunately that isn't the
problem =(. i tried your suggestions and it still doesn't work.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#news").newsTicker();
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#s2').cycle({
fx: 'fade',
speed: 'normal',
timeout: 4000,
next: '#next2',
prev: '#prev2'
});
});
Prev Next
all i get is 3 images and 2 links. no effects whatsoever for the
cycle. it must be something wrong with the jquery file huh?

works now.

[jQuery] jQuery Cycle Plugin help needed
hello all. i'm having trouble implementing something from the jQuery
Cycle plugin that can be found here:
http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/download.html
the effect i'm looking to implement can be found here:
http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/int2.html
it's the Prev/Next effect. the second demo on that page. i just can't
figure out how to get it to work. first i couldn't figure out where to
put the image gallery or what div tags to use and everything because i
couldn't find an explaination. then i looked at the source code and
found it. so i used it but it didn't work =\. what do you guys think?
$('#s2').cycle({
fx: 'fade',
speed: 'normal',
timeout: 4000,
next: '#next2',
prev: '#prev2'
});
what's the deal here? what do you guys see wrong with this?

well i tried posting some code but it didn't work for some reason and it's a lot of crap so i think the best way you could help is to go to this link http://www.texotela.co.uk/code/jquery/newsticker/ and test out the first example. see how you can get it to work on your own development environments. and when you do, let me know how you did it and why you think it's not working for me. like if there's something that is obviously advanced about this or not. anyway. i really really appreciate it guys.
[jQuery] new jQuery user needs help
hello all! i've recently discovered the amazing features that jQuery has to offer a humble web-developer like myself. except i'm a little confused. i havent' had any luck implimenting any of the jquery plugins that i've seen. i'm trying to get a simple newsticker up, amongst other things, and i've found several, but none of them work! what could be the problem? i've used: http://www.learningjquery.com/2006/10/scroll-up-headline-reader and http://www.texotela.co.uk/code/jquery/newsticker/ and i literally have had NO luck whatsoever. i really don't know what i'm doing wrong here. can anyone help a noob with a newsticker? i've read them and copied them and i still can't get any jQuery effects to show up. please help! =\
