How to remove captions hovering over images/slideshows

DJM595

Hi,

Posting here as have been unable to find an answer to an aspect of new SmugMug- does anyone have any custom code to prevent captions from appearing when the mouse moves over slideshows or thumbnails and images on your front page?

I find it really annoying that my slideshow gets obscured just because the photo has a long caption.

Any advice appreciated,
Thank you

I recently had a similar problem. Solved on this topic:

Thanks Ubrane,

But that topic does not solve the issue, being that I want Captions on my photos, but not the hover tags.

I don't want to remove all the captions, as they are important, but having them pop up on photos outside of a gallery setting is just plain annoying.

It seems an unsolved issue and one SM heroes couldn't with help either.

The search goes on...

Cheers,

For what it's worth, I found that pressing the Alt key while moving the mouse over a picture prevents the caption from popping up over the picture. This is hardly a solution to this annoying problem, and it doesn't work in Internet Explorer. I use Firefox. I don't know about the other browsers. As you say, "the search goes on."

Here's something that will work better than pressing a key while moving the mouse over a picture. I found this at http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/index_fi...ri-firefox.php..

Here's the author's paragraph for Firefox. (I used it in Firefox for Windows.)

If you want to disable tooltips in Firefox, start by typing about:config into the address bar. [You get a warning message. If you want to continue, click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button.] In the list that appears, find browser.chrome.toolbar_tips. Once you have found the item, double-click on it to change it from true to false. Now when you are browsing, tooltips should be disabled. Simply double-click again to change things back.

This works only for your browser, of course It won't work with your visitors, unless they tweak their browser.
