I have been experimenting with adding rollover buttons to our APA guide as a way of highlighting the icons we are using to start up the avatar. We wanted a second image with a message added to appear when the user pointed to the icon.
After setting this up in DreamWeaver I cut and pasted the HTML code which used some Java script into the libguide. Initially this worked well and looked great. However as soon as I started adding more rollovers there were problems. It was not until Jo put two rollovers in boxes side by side she discovered that they seemed to be connected in someway. When she put her mouse over the second icon the rollover image appeared only on the first icon. Crazy but true!!!
My understanding of HTML code and Java script is limited so we are getting around this by only using one rollover image per page at this stage. This highlights the difficulty of using the libguides where we do not have so much control as in a regular webpage.
