Hi,
I have having 2 issues on a xml gallery:
1-i’m trying to create a description for each image loaded by xml. when the mouse rollover the picture i would like to have a big tooltip like or a animated window where i can insert a
long description.
2-i would like to have my menu to open an html page in _self when click on a button
i’ve been trying for a long time but can’t find the solution.
can someone help please,
cheers
here the code
