Replacement for Flash

JavaScript
1

I’m not sure where to ask this. JavaScript seemed a good place to start… I’m looking for something to replace Flash for the movie on this page: http://www.get2thepoint.org/g2p/about_us.php and would appreciate any thoughts and ideas.

Thanks G :slight_smile:

You are right. This can be easily achieved using mouse over event of javascript+css or jQuery+CSS. There are tons of examples and tutorials available.

Hi,

Maybe you could use an image map?

Here’s a great tutorial, as well as a [URL=“http://www.cssplay.co.uk/articles/imagemap/examples/”]demo and a [URL=“http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/imap.html”]second set of demos.

Any good?

rightly pointed by Pullo. but yeah, din’t mention as image map is just pretty old way. Nobody is actually use it now a days.

Really?
I still do.

Out of interest then, how would you proceed here?
Using CSS and/or JS, how would you get different information to appear when a user hovers over different parts of the same image?

well actually I shouldn’t have used ‘nobody’ but it’s not been used as often how it used to be.

well I would do CSS for position and hide image/info and on hover reveal them using jQuery/javascript.

btw, just came across this website, not a similar example but just how a complex diagram can be done http://www.csstubemap.co.uk/index.html all done using CSS and bit of jquery and developer’s haven’t used any image.

Thanks
