when your mouse rolls over the cell the cell's background changes color

[smithy256]

can u show me an example?

[almighty one]

this is a pretty good looking option but when i do this i edit your colors to match mine of course but on the forum home display when you mouse over a link it turns the box grey then when you mouse over it again it turns it into the second alt color but then goes back to grey instaed of first alt color do you know why?

this works great-except now my users complain that although they love the hypercells-they cant right click to open the forums in a new window

any ideas?

Remove the onClick event handler from the TD tag. This will allow the color to continue changing and allow your members to right-click on valid URLs to open them in a new window.

Thank You

Thank You WLuke for your timely and professional response!!

umm-i feel real stupid asking this-but what should that line of text look like with onclick removed-ive searched the forums -no luck

i gave it a shot, but then the links didnt work

I have fixed cannot open in a new windows

in forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

find :

    <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='{categorybackcolor}'; this.style.cursor='hand';"  onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='{firstaltcolor}';" onclick="window.location.href='forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]'"> 

after it add :

<a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"> 

the final code should be like this

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='{categorybackcolor}'; this.style.cursor='hand';"  onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='{firstaltcolor}';" onclick="window.location.href='forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]'"><a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forum[forumid]"> 

Done

If you just add that to the default template, it will produce invalid HTML code which will break in some browsers, prevent your site from being spidered and is against accessibility guidelines.


Valid code would have you replace the TD tag with:

<td bgcolor="{first altcolor}" align="left" width="70%" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#394151';"  onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='{first altcolor}';">

This is valid accessible code that will allow all browsers to create proper links and allow you to have multiple links in a table cell if you want.

Seems so simple.. but does not seem to work with v2.0.3 lol

I know it has to be me.. I need some sleep

Its not working in the forum home. Only in the threadlist.

Also it would be nice if the user could have the option of turning them off in their CP.
