How to use mouse over hotspot effect?

Asked By Joseph Abbott 20 points N/A Posted on - 10/11/2012

I have a photo that is divided (virtually) into 5 sections. What I would like to happen is if the user hovers to section 1 a bigger photo will appear. If the user hovers to section 2 a different photo will appear and so on. I've read that I can use the mouse over hotspot effect for this application. Any ideas?

Thanks.

How to use mouse over hotspot effect?

Hello,

I would suggest on a technique called Timing.

What basically happens is that, when the cursor is placed over a particular file or image, it enlarges them to get a better view and remains that way as long as the cursor is placed over it. You can implement a CSS for mouse over that enables moving from one image to the other or view links associated with a particular file or image. CSS enables flexibility & easier maintenance in addition to the fact that , its supported by major browser engines available.
