I am using the following function to have an enlarge image when hover a thumbnail:
this.leftPreview = function(){
xOffset = 10;
yOffset = 30;
$("a.left-preview").hover(function(e){
this.t = this.title;
this.title = "";
var c = (this.t != "") ? "<br/>" + this.t : "";
$("body").append("<p id='preview'><img src='"+ this.href +"' alt='Image preview' />"+ c +"</p>");
$("#preview")
.css("top",(e.pageY - xOffset) + "px")
.css("left",(e.pageX + yOffset) + "px")
.fadeIn("fast");
},
function(){
this.title = this.t;
$("#preview").remove();
});
$("a.left-preview").mousemove(function(e){
$("#preview")
.css("top",(e.pageY - xOffset) + "px")
.css("left",(e.pageX + yOffset) + "px");
});
}
leftPreview();
This working great. The disadvantage is that the preview image is stored in the href. which I actually need to go to a detail page. Does anybody know of a method to have an image previe a different way
