How to darken an image on mouseover

Posted by Englestone on Tuesday, 17 November 2009 Labels: , , / Comments: (0)
I wanted to make an image go darker on mouseover and go back to normal on mouseout. Here's how I eventually did it. 


   1: <html> 



   2:     <head> 



   3:         <style type="text/css"> 



   4:         .outerLink 



   5:         { 



   6:             background-color:black; 



   7:             display:block; 



   8:             opacity:1; 



   9:             filter:alpha(opacity=100); 



  10:             width:200px; 



  11:         } 



  12:         img.darkableImage 



  13:         { 



  14:             opacity:1; 



  15:             filter:alpha(opacity=100); 



  16:         } 



  17: </style> 



  18:     </head> 



  19:     <body> 



  20:         <a href="http://www.google.com" class="outerLink"> 



  21:             <img src="http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/images/logo.gif" width="200" 



  22:             class="darkableImage" onmouseout="this.style.opacity=1;this.filters.alpha.opacity=100" 



  23:             onmouseover="this.style.opacity=0.6;this.filters.alpha.opacity=60" /> 



  24:         </a> 



  25:     </body> 



  26: </html>

Code that's easy on the eyes

Posted by Englestone on Wednesday, 11 November 2009 / Comments: (0)

I've been using Rob Conerys Visual Studio colour scheme VibrantInk v2 for over a month now and I must say it is a joy to program with.

I recommend it to anyone who stares at a bright white computer screen for prolonged periods.

Check if in edit mode in EpiServer

Posted by Englestone on Tuesday, 3 November 2009 Labels: , , / Comments: (0)

In EpiServer I've recently created a login page with all other page access behind it.

However obviously I want editors using the CMS editor to view & edit the site not to have to log in before proceeding to the rest of the site to edit it.

Anyway, here is how I'm checking whether the page being requested is being requested from edit mode. 

public bool IsInEditMode() 
{ 
    bool isInEditMode = false; 

    if (HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer != null) 
    { 
        isInEditMode = Regex.IsMatch(HttpContext.Current.Request.UrlReferrer.LocalPath, "/admin/|/edit/", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); 
    } 

    return isInEditMode; 
}






Another way of doing it is 




protected Boolean IsInEditMode() 
{ 
    if (Request.Params["idkeep"] == null)
        return false; 

    return true; 
}
