Pop-up image on hover

    Hi Tobias,

    In my fine looking table here I’ve been asked if its possible to have an image appear when you hover over a name.

    This sort of thing is definitely a stretch for me. My coding kung-fu is weak.

    The other worry is that I need to train someone to update the data by importing a CSV file every week. If it stays as it is now there won’t too much of a problem. The columns and rows will always be the same amount. Also the names change from week to week.

    Is it possible to have such a feature and still be able to upload new data with out having to re-do any special coding for images?

    Regards,
    Ben.

    Hi Ben,

    unfortuntely, I don’t really know a good solution to this ?? Having images pop up when the name is hovered is not really something that can be done by a table plugin. You will have to find another plugin for that, or find some combination of HTML and CSS code for this.
    Unfortunately, this will probably make the contents of the cells more complex, so that the data in the CSV file will be more complex ??
    The best choice would therefore probably be to add such a feature via JavaScript. The JavaScript code could dynamically replace the names in the table with HTML/CSS code that opens the popup, just like in a tooltip.

    Unfortunately, I have never done this before, so I don’t know what I could recommend for this ?? Sorry.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thanks anyway. Thought it would be a long shot.

    I can have an image in the same cell as the name right?

    Would this also complicate the data the CSV file upload?

    Hi Ben,

    yes, you can have images in the same cell as the name, as it is just HTML code in the end.

    And yes, due to that, it might make the data in the CSV file look more complicated, but only to people who have never seen HTML code or are unfamiliar with it.

    Regards,
    Tobias
