I want to make the bottom content for my eBay description set up like frames, but without frames for all the reasons besides that ebay doesn't allow them in descriptions. I think the right way to do it is with overflow, but I have never used it and don't know how it works. I just need some tips to get me starts and I can hopefully go from there. I want basically a navigation bar above the content saying something like: | Payment Info | Warranty Info | Shipping Info | Contact Us | It could start on the Payment Info "frame" then when Warranty Info is clicked it will change the content section to the Warranty Info, then Shipping Info, etc. I was also thinking maybe there is a way to do this with an image sprite? I have no idea honestly, i'm just trying to figure it out with minimal real HTML/CSS Knowledge. OH! ebay does not allow Javascript, so that won't work either (not that i know any haha) Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
you can create a div for each content and just show them on click using javascript http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32950
Image sprite? Do you mean an image map? That would be possible and most easiest.. I not sure Ebay would allow and im sure checks and removes any crazy type off CSS trick to hide divs, and sorry have not used Ebay in many years to know for sure.. But an Image Map would be your solution and i think acceptable there
I looked up the ebay polices, and I was wrong, it says they do allow javascript, but with many limitations. I always assumed it didn't because I use their program Turbo Lister, and it won't let me post auctions with "text/javascript" in it at all. You also only have the body tags to work within and aren't allowed to edit the body, head, or html tags in any way. I just code the CSS in the Style Tag, and put it above the HTML. I'm not sure all of the places you can put the CSS to hack ebay's not allowing use of the head tag, but I use java i'll have to have it hacked in above the html like CSS i'm pretty sure. I don't know if that is ok with javascript. I do know however, that it is possible to do this on ebay, because I got the idea from someone elses description. Here is the policy: You can use HTML and JavaScript to: : Change typeface and font sizes Create different colors Create features such as borders and tables Embed pictures and videos You can’t use HTML or JavaScript that:: Calls remote scripts and pages automatically, such as JavaScript "includes" or "iframes." Changes registry entries or otherwise writes to another person’s computer hard drive. Creates automatic pop-ups except for links that open in a new window when clicked on. Is used to drop or read a cookie on any eBay page. Loads any binary program on another person's computer automatically, except for Flash content. Overwrites any area in the listing outside of the item description area. Manipulates areas outside the listing description, including changing fonts, colors, and backgrounds in areas such as eBay headers and footers. Posts to scripts on eBay automatically. Redirects the user from eBay to another web page, such as using the "replace" script. As for the image sprite, I meant like how you have all the variations of a navigation bar pic in one image, and just change the view depending on static, hover, visited. I was thinking maybe there was a way to change which portion of the image you are viewing by clicking a link. I guess that would be similar to changing which div is being shown, except divs would be much easier to edit. As far as that link to the forum goes. How can I customize that script to include 3, 4, or 5 different divs? Also can i make it start on one of the divs being shown? Sorry, I haven't started learning java yet because I don't think i'm good enough with html/css yet, so I have no idea how to edit it. Again, thanks for the help!
Sorry for the double post, I forgot to mention my computer blocked that guys script, i had to hit the little popup blocker thing and tell it to allow the script and active x controls. Is there a way to fix that in the script so that anyone on ebay doesn't have to do that, I don't think ebay would allow it.
