Spotlight Images

I just love this effect! I sometimes use this on my webcam and I thought it would be a neat tutorial. Lots of people seem to be using it too, well here it goes...

• Put this between your < HEAD > tags on the page you want the image spotlight:

  <style> <!-- #myimage{ filter:light } --> </style>

• Now put this for your image code:

  <img id="myimage" src="IMAGE URL HERE"> <script language="JavaScript1.2"> //Image spotlight effect- By Erik F (die_schlampe@hotmail.com) //Code enhancements by Dynamicdrive.com //Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com for this script s = 50; // the size of the spotlight vp = 10; // the visibility percent of the picture startx = 0; // the top position of your sportlight into the image (on start) starty = 0; // the left position of your spotlight into the image (on start) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // No need to edit below this line // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// var IE = document.all?true:false function moveL() { xv = tempX; yv = tempY; myimage.filters.light.MoveLight(1,xv,yv,s,true); } if (IE&&myimage.filters) document.all.myimage.onmousemove = getMouseXY; var tempX = 0 var tempY = 0 function getMouseXY(e) { tempX = event.offsetX tempY = event.offsetY if (tempX < 0){tempX = 0} if (tempY < 0){tempY = 0} if (t) { moveL(); } return true } var xv = startx; var yv = starty; var t= true; if (IE&&myimage.filters){ myimage.style.cursor="hand"; myimage.filters.light.addAmbient(255,255,255,vp) myimage.filters.light.addPoint(startx,starty,s,255,255,255,255) } </script>

• Just change the Image url and you're done!
