Need Remote Button with sub-topics

news.frontiernet.net · Sep 16, 2003

I do a community web site and would like to provide a Button/icon for other
loacal and area web sites to copy/paste on their web sites.

I want to go BEYOND a simple image, to include a mouse-over drop down menu
of subtopics. I want this to be all EXTERNAL to the web site. I mean, no
HTML codes in divs. It should all be in the .js code that wiLl be loaded
from my server. And it needs to be done WITHOUT requiring the using web site
to place ANY code in their <HEad></HEad>, NOR in their <BODY> tag to start
on page load.

I want the process to be simple, so that beginners can COPY/PASTE the code
from my web site to theirs and have it function properly, WITHOUT
requiring them to alter their own code in the <HEAD></HEAD> section or
<BODY> tag Can this be done?

Does anyone have an example?

This is a simple JavaScript version of a server-side-include. Here's the
code for their site:

<SCRIPT language="{whatever your language is}"
src="http://www.yoursite.com/js-bin/yourscript.js"></SCRIPT>

They just insert that code where they want the image to appear.

Then the code for your site will be something like:

document.write("<img src='http://www.yoursite.com/media/button.gif'
onMouseOver='show_pop_up()'");

function show_pop_up() {
// Code for poping up a menu. There's plenty around so
// just pick one for yourself.
}
//-end-

Of course there are some browsers that will not render a visitor's page
until they're able to contact your site. So if you're down, your users
might not be too happy. To get around this, they could download the image
themselves and insert it:

<SCRIPT language="{whatever your language is}"
src="http://www.yoursite.com/js-bin/yourscript.js"></SCRIPT>
<IMG src="/local/image.gif" onMouseOver="show_pop_up()">

This will load your script and do the same as above, however because the
image is on their local server it's more reliable. Of course if you're down
they still wont get the pop-up but at least the rest of their page will
load!

Maybe you could offer both services?

Cheers!
