Forum:Customise Image Maps

Is it possible to customise Image Maps, for example reducing the time it take takes for the tooltip to appear on hover, and the style of the tooltip itself? - BeardedBee 19:11, August 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Could you expand on that? It isn't clear what you mean by "Image Maps". Also what kind of tooltip are you talking about? ? --  Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 12:55 PM PST 11 Aug 2010

Ah sorry, yes of course. I meant image map within the tags for example to one here. - BeardedBee 21:15, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, real tooltips (as recognized by the browser) cannot have any of their styles changed. It would probably be possible to make artificial tooltips using JavaScript, though. Killr 22:30, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Ah OK. The Wiki has custom tooltips functional courtacy of Pcj, though I don't know how I'd go about applying them to an image map, stardard or custom built. I like WoW Wiki's Scribble maps, though it seems they developed their own custom version of the programme. I'll look in to alternatives, though any suggestions and direction is greatly appreciated. - BeardedBee 22:38, August 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I found this... maybe you can see if it works if you put spans in the imagemap somewhere? -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 3:56 PM PST 11 Aug 2010


 * Nevermind, I think the stuff I linked to only works if you can insert a  attribute into the anchor (  which the wiki won't really let you do unless you use Javascript. --  Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 4:04 PM PST 11 Aug 2010
