HELP integrating Java overlib with OSC

[videobus]

I've been trying to integrate overlib in OSC and after spending almost a week (on/off) I'm stumped.

 

Three related problems:

 

1. can't link to the java script as below

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="includes/overlib/overlib.js"></SCRIPT>

When I inserted overlib.js in-line into the top of new_products.php, then it works fine, but as soon as I link to it, nothing. I placed overlib.js in all the folders, such as catalog/includes/overlib , /catalog/includes and also catalog/includes/modules etc. but nothing works.

 

2. the java script works as a standard HTML line as below:

 

<script language="javascript">

<!-- 
<A HREF="java script:void(0);" onMouseOver="overlib('body text here', CAPTION, 'Caption here')" onMouseOut="nd()">Sample popup</A>'); 
-->
</script>

 

3. I can't firgure out how to make it work as a PHP integrated line as below:

 

    $info_box_contents[$row] = array('align'  => 'center',
                                    'params' => 'class="HomePageImageText" width="20%" valign="top"',
                                    'text'   => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) .  '" >'
				                     . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products['products_image'], $new_products['products_description'], HOME_PAGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, HOME_PAGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT, 'hspace="0" vspace="5"')
				                     . '<br><font color=#cc0033>' . $new_products['products_name']. '</font><br><br></a>');

 

I would like to replace the 'text => '<a href........' with the java equivalent, so when the mouse passes over the image of the item, a popup appears that has the description of it as here: $new_products['products_description'].

This is just a guess... But I notice above that you have the html entity < in place of an actual < symbol for the <script> tag... This could be causing the problem, as it's not being interpreted as an actual script tag, and so it's not loading in that javascript file...

The &lt was inserted by this forum software when it was posted. The original character I placed in there was a < and when I pressed submit, it was converted to &lt.
