seen this on a couple of sites and was wondering how to do it...

 

whats i have seen on a couple of sites is a plugin javascript that displays information when a user rolls over a image... for example see http://www.my-bathrooms.co.uk/categories/Boilers/Combi-Boilers/ and roll over an image.

 

wonder if anyone know what time is called so i can find a plugin or the java to hack into my site, thanks

It's a very simple jQuery animate function by the looks of it. On hover, a div containing the info will drop down having previously been hidden. Search for jQuery animate plugin on Google, or just jQuery animate if you wish to try it yourself, it's very easy.

If you study the code it is using JS to create the effect.

 

If you look at

<div class="roller" style="z-index: 1000; height: 248px; margin-top: -248px;">

 

then the margin-top changes to zero on the roll over state, this could be done in CSS however the effect probably wouldn't be the same

see here and here

 

can be done with css3

thanks
