positioning of pictures when u hover over names and such

BlueRose	I'm not sure if anyone else has found this but I find that generally when I hover over smaller pictures or names etc...the enlarged picture comes up to the right and above. This normally results in the top of the picture being cut off, so for me to have to see the picture properly I have to scroll up the page so that u bit I want to roll over is at the bottom of my screen. Can anything be done about this? Does anyone else find this? width="100%" Who laughed: Chemon-live-for-NRG Reply Quote Posted Mon 21 Jul

davenewt	Depends how big your screen is and/or how high your resolution is and/or how close to the top of the page the thing you're hovering over is. So yes, I get it sometimes depending on the above. If it was clever enough to work out which way to pop up, that would be cool, but I have no idea if that's even possible.

sabret00the	i moaned about this the other day in the new chat thread and it appeared to have been fixed for FF. Checking it today though, it's been improved as opposed to fixed. Reply Quote Posted Mon 21 Jul

davenewt	Actually, I've just hovered over the chat box names and that one IS clever enough to do it. Though if your screen/resolution is too small, it could be that larger popup pictures just won't fit either way. Reply Quote Posted Mon 21 Jul

It's very possible, it's just a case of outdated coding. I programmed something like that a wee while back and the horizontal popups were the bitch, but the vertical popups were piss-easy.

Rose - what size is your monitor and what resolution are you running it in? Small and low seems to = it not being able to display it very well. Reply Quote Posted Mon 21 Jul

I find even browsing galleries a pain in the arse in 1024x768 - you can hardly ever see the thumbnails at the top AND all of the photo underneath and you need to continually scroll up and down.

BlueRose	davenewt said: It could just be that, whichever way it tries to hover it, it won't fit. it should do cos the picture is never bigger than my screen and it only goes off the top cos it hovers to the top. If it hovered parallel to it then it would fit in fine. davenewt said: I find even browsing galleries a pain in the arse in 1024x768 - you can hardly ever see the thumbnails at the top AND all of the photo underneath and you need to continually scroll up and down. how can I resolve that then?

Dave	Mine doesn't work all the time - some images are cut off at the top. I just scroll the page a bit and it'll hover below rather than above. Reply Quote Posted Mon 21 Jul

OriginalNutta	To guarantee that you don't have problems, your screen resolution needs to be TWICE as large as the pop-up image (more if you take into account the space occupied by the browser menu bar and the Windows "start" bar at the bottom). The pop-up logic is fine, the problem is that it has to choose between two solutions, both of which will fail. Reply Quote Posted Tue 22 Jul

If it fails, then it's far from fine. all browsers allow you to select the inside height of the window or the outside height (same goes for width), so clearly the logic is crap.
