freakus_maximus Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Basically, I have seen sites where when you click an image to preview it, the screen has a grey-over on it with a loading icon (spinner, etc...) then the image appears on the grey-over to preview. When you click the image it closes the preview and you have control again on the page. Just unsure how they are doing it and/or what to google. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

redbullmarky Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 i think it's referred to commonly (whether officially) as a "Lightbox". An example is here: http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/ but Googling 'lightbox' will give you other suggestions too. Also - if you google "Modal" or "submodal", you'll get some ideas how they do it. One way is laying a DIV with its background image set as a semi-transparent PNG/GIF over the entire screen (to prevent clicking of underlying content), then laying whatever content over the top of that. hope that helps Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46735-how-do-they-do-this-on-certain-webpages/#findComment-227796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
