hi, not really very good with javascript, i want to have my sig on these forums to have a mouse over effect where if the mouse hovers over the sig, it loads another image.

ive seen other members have similiar thing, anybody help?

Cheers

As far as I'm aware that's not possible.. Javascript is disabled in sigs (because it would be a huge security issue if it wasn't).

ok, im sure ive seen people with mouse over sigs, maybe they used a different method, i thought it would be javascript or something

It may be css then - not sure if its possible as I've never really tried.

Can you name one person on these forums who has a sig like that?

toon_mad · 10 May 2009 at 20:58

ill have a look and let you know

EDIT:

here is one (3rd post down), this only has hyperlink in the sig, but the same point applies: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18006186

2 different users here with hyperlinks in their sigs: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18007005&page=12

and finally some more with hyperlinks (cant find the mouseove image change ones though) : http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18007530

Code:

[url=http://website.com]Some text[[b]/[/b]url]

Or:

Code:

[url=http://website.com][img]http://website.com/someimage.png[[b]/[/b]img][[b]/[/b]url]

For the hyperlinks. You cannot, however, use javascript to create image mouseover effects. However, you can have a server-side script which changes the image loaded every time the page is refreshed, I think there's a guide on this site for that.

I think maybe you're thinking of a different forum and it may be one which allows flash sigs.

im defo sure it was on this forum with the mouse over effects, when i find it ill post it.

its not important, i just wanted to have a second image load if my sig is hovered over, guess i could just make a animted gif if thats supported

AFAIK there's no way to get rollover image (on this forum), I've never seen anyone on this forum with one.
All I can think of is that you are getting confused with someone like Azagoths sig http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/member.php?u=39931 which reloads each time the page loads, and it may have been co-incidence you rolled over it just as it was loading?

(animated) gifs are not allowed in sigs, and it wouldn't be able to detect mouse over anyway.

That may be the case then, i could have swore i saw it change before my very eyes

cheers anyway
