If you use the wonderful Javascript library jQuery and the wonderful (standalone) Javascript plugin Highslide JS of recent version you should be aware of something.
As of recent versions of Highlide the way the Expander function works is that it looks at an element's onclick attribute and not it's attached events which means that if a DOM element has the event but not the attribute you get a Javascript error. In older versions of Highslide you were able to do this:
$('a.highslide').click(function() {
return hs.expand(this, options);
});
But that's no longer working since the attribute isn't set. Here's the new way of doing it:
$('a.highslide').each(function() {
this.onclick = function() {
return hs.expand(this, options);
};
});
Hi Peter!
I would like to call up Highslide for every markup putting this script in the header...but it doesn't work! Could you maybe help? Thank you!! ~Lukas
<script type="text/javascript">
$('a').each(function(){
this.onclick = function() {
return hs.htmlExpand(this, { objectType: 'iframe' } );
});
</script>
I think there's a forum on the Highslide website. Ask there.
Hi, Lukas!
Try putting that script in the body of the document.
//or just use it like this ;)
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.highslide').each(function() {
this.onclick = function() {
return hs.expand(this);
};
});
});
