Magnificent add on...works amazingly...

Hi all,

I have had Hoverbox 3 working superbly now for some time... until now!

I decided I wanted some of my banners to be rotating images that fade in and out using jscript.

I decided to use the "Ultimate Fade-In Slideshow" script available here : http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm

I placed the main function in my jscript director (after removing the <script> tags) and called the function from the banner HTML code.

It worked just fine but only for the index page! Whenever you tried to click on a product it would crash IE7 with an "Operation Aborted" error. However it worked fine with Firefox and Safari!

With the help of a fellow zenner (cheers Tony) we managed to whittle it down to a conflict with mootools being used by Hoverbox. If you disable Hoverbox 3 it works just fine in IE!

He even went as far as finding a link with instructions on how to fix the problem.

Here is the link : LINKY

Now my question is, how can this fix be integrated into Hoverbox 3?

Thanks so much in advance for any help with this!

Is there a fix to IE 8, looks like it does not work with IE8

I've met some weird situation.

When I click "larger image," Some large pictures come with Product Titles & Product Prices normally, but some large pictures don't.

I've try to uninstall & reinstall, but it doesn't help.

Hi all,

Ok, I tried the uninstall script and then the install script again and it worked !
Previously I was not getting the HB3 link in the Configurations menu at all.

I am getting the same problem - any ideas / solutions ?

TIA.

Having an issue with Hover Box 3, the rounded corners and the close do not show up in firefox or IE...

heavy construction so please wear your hard hat. lol..
this is the only product that has an image at this time..

https://www.police-equipment-worldwi...ersal-lock-p-1

in fact the product name doesnt show up like in all the examples I see either.

The produce name started showing up but still no rounded corners or close button, anyone have any ideas?

[jgdovin]

Ok found out the close image wasnt showing up because the image was too small so it didnt have enough room, is there a way to set a minimum width so the close will always show up?
And it still looks like the rounded corners are missing.. the corners are rounded it just has little black lines at each corner.

I have a bit of a quirky issue:

HoverBox 3 is running perfectly for me on my custom template... However, on the default template (classic green), there is no overlay at all, and the alpha on the "close" button is apparently forced to zero.

Everything else loads and displays perfectly as far as I can tell, and I can still click the "close" button on the HoverBox, but it is apparently invisible, and there is no overlay appearing at all...

Any ideas why this would be? I have un-installed and re-installed HoverBox several times, and I have double-check and re-copied all of the files back into the folders for both templates. I'm stumped...?
