Thread:Extension talk:ImageMap/Imagemap Area highlight script/reply (20)

Hi : ) I have replaced mouseover vs. mouseenter after the reading of this jQuery article, I though it was "better". Following your last comments, I have added counters in the two functions drawMarker & mouseAction and you are right, there is no difference (same number of events) between over and enter so I will go back to over/out : )

Let's me describe more my use case: Imagine a image like this one where there are only 2 or 3 "areas" (no information "yet" for the others). When the user mouse enters on the image, the user will have to find where are the "areas" before clicking on them. I like your implementation based on the "show all" message, but my wiki users seem to prefer to navigate on the image instead of in the list (note: I need to get more user feedbacks to consolidate that pov)...

I do agree with you that "show all areas when mouseovering the image" is really not nice with an image containing many areas (especially with overlapped areas) like a country geographic map or the eye image you have as example.

My idea (at least for my wiki ;-) : As this highlight feature is really dependant on the kind of image and their related areas, I plan to offer to users the possibility to enable/disable the "show all areas when mouseovering the image" feature, using for instance a parameter somewhere in ...

What is your opinion? Best regards :-)
