Flashing mouse over info box

[WyoDog]

I have an issue with the 'mouse over' on ssGauges block. As I slowly move the mouse cursor over some of the dials the pop up appears but flashes making it pretty hard to read. I have tested this on a second computer that I use with the same effect. I don't notice this flashing on the mobile version of the block. I made a four second .mov file to demonstrate but can't attach it.

I use Win10 Pro. Do any of our guru's have any ideas what may be causing this?

Thankful for any replies

Hi Terry,
I see the same result on your page - some are quickly flashing the pop up messages. I then checked mine and have seen the same result on a couple of gauges, but once I move the mouse away and then mouse over again it doesn't do it until a little while later. However yours does it all the time on those gauges where it flashes. And sorry, wouldn't know where to start to resolve.

p.s. Terry, off-subject but would you mind visiting www.komokaweather.com
I need one more USA state to do all of them... on my Flag Counter

done -> nice looking site

side note: I have time to research the flashing pop up problem, but I don't know what the command is

Year's ago it was 'mouseover'

I assume it's a JavaScript thing or is it an HTML, .php or CSS command or is it a built-in function that gets called? (don't you just love compound conditional statements?)

Thanks Terry, got them all now after more than 5 years... but still missing two of our own Canada provinces/territories

Enjoy,
Paul

This plugin/block is based on Mark's Steelseries script, there are many scripts used and so thats why it is difficult to find the problem because it has thousands of lines of code. However, normally you would refer to it as either mouseover or hover

I have been using Mark's gauges-ss since his original release http://www.komokaweather.com/gauges-ss/gauges-ss.htm
In that original script the data pop-up is:

Code: Select all

imgPathURL        : '../weather/images/',             //*** Change this to the relative path for your 'Trend' graph images
graphUpdateTime   : 15,                     //period of pop-up data graph refresh, in minutes (default 15)

but that graph pop-up is different to the mouse-over pop-up in MT block.

Enjoy,
Paul
