Pop up images on a browse

[Devan]

We've just been approached by a client to design an ecommerce style system using NetTalk.

One thing they *insist* on is the list of products contain a thumbnail image of the product, which is trivial to do, but they also want a full size image to pop up whenever the user moves the cursor over the thumbnail.

I know there are various jQuery etc. libraries that can do this, but just wanted to throw it out there to the general NT user group to see if anyone has a library or system that works well with NT?

In writing this, I am thinking that the hover option might not be best, as they are also talking about using this on iPads for field service agents, so I think we will have to go with clicking/tapping on the thumbnail to zoom in...

Thanks,
Devan

Hi Devan,

a number of approaches here.

a) you can have the big image in the hover. Simply add the big image to the "tip" and use a tuip that supports images (like vTip, or the jQuery UI tips).

b) on a click I'd likely just go to a simple popup form that displayed the big image.
