hello johneecc,

Have a look at this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

    <head>

    <title>Example</title>

    <style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">

        .hoverbox

        {

        }
 
        .hoverbox a .preview

            z-index: 1;

            top: -38px;

            left: -50px;

        }
 
        .hoverbox img

Thanks for the reply, but that looks just like what I had.

I am just trying to display the description from a DB recordset of the image.
Originally, I had a thumbnail image and the preview was when the mouse hovered over it.

See code below:
I am able to display the default test text of "Image Preview", but when I plug in rsGetRecords("StaticImageDescription") I get the Expected ')' error.

Response.Write ("<a href=""#""> Image Preview <img src=""Static_Image_Web_Gallery\Image_" & "00" & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedNumber") & ".jpg"" class=""preview""/></a>")

whatt is in rsGetRecords("StaticImageDescription")? Can you give an example.

Thanks~

Jan 30 '08 #5

This is a description of the image coming from an Access DB. It is only text.

Jan 30 '08 #6

rsGetRecords is a recordset for retreiving from the DB. I am looping through using vbscript to display the info.

Yes, I understand that. What I was asking is if you can give us an example of one of the records in your recordset.

I would hazard a guess that there is a double quote or other special character somewhere in one of your records.

I suggest you run the query in a query analyzer and check the records returned for any double quotes or other characters.

Let us know how you get on,

What is the rule on quotes or double quotes?

For instance, by adding the double quotes made this line work:
<img src=""Image_Web_Gallery\Image_" & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedNumber") & ".jpg"" class=""preview"" /></a>")

I do not think it is a quote coming back from a record because I am able to display the image description before I was trying to link it up with the actual image.
Here is that line:
Response.Write ("<b>" & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedDescription") & " </b>")

Here are some of the records:
Seattle Seahawks
Pittsburgh Steelers
Houston Texans
Tennessee Titans

Thanks for all your help too it is greatly appreciated.

John,

Is the code you printed in your first post your actual working code? If so I think there is a little error which may be causing your problem. You wrote:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 Response.Write ("<a href=""rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedDescription")""> rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedDescription") <img src=""Image_Web_Gallery\Image_" & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedNumber") & ".jpg"" class=""preview"" /></a>")
 

This needs to be changed to:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
Response.Write("<a href=""" & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedDescription") & """>" & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedDescription") & "<img src=""Image_Web_Gallery\Image_" & rsGetRecords("StaticImageTimedNumber") & ".jpg"" class=""preview"" /></a>")

Notice there are a couple more &'s in my version which are joining the strings and the requests together. By leaving out the &'s the string will think it has finished and expect a closing parenthesis ) .

Give that a try and let us know how it goes.

Cheers,

Dr B

And in answer to your question about quote marks:

A double quote (") marks the beginning and end of a string. If you want to place a double quote inside a string you need to use two double quote marks (""). These are interpreted as one double quote mark inside the string.

However note that in most instances you can use a single quote inside a string instead of two doubles e.g

Response.Write("<img src=""test.jpg"" alt=""test"" />")

Can be re-written as:

Response.Write("<img src='test.jpg' alt='test' />")

Which looks much cleaner!

Hope this helps,

Dr B

Hello johneecc,

I would stay very clear from using double quotes. It is too easy to get turned around using them. My example above does not use them and when I tested it the results work for me. If it did not work for you then I think what DrBunchman said might be true in that something in your data is corrupt. Did you try out the example above?

Have a good day~

Run Time Error. Expected ';'

DrBunchman, what you listed worked. aaaaahhhhh Thank you for solving my issue.
I also tried using the single quotes too and it also worked. Thank you for explaining the difference between all the quotes.

CroCrew thanks for all your help too. Greatly appreciated.
