Does anyone know how to add a simple pop up window on the product page to display additional info? I would like to put in a text navigation menu below the Product Detail like:

info1 | info2 | info3

with each one popping up a window with the info.

Thanks!

You can integrate Jquery UI -> http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/ or http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/

Hello,

I'm still fairly new to x-cart, and I'd like to integrate some of these jquery elements - but i'm not sure where to put their libraries,
/css/
/development-bundle/
/js/

My first guess is in /include, and then put these lines:

<link type="text/css" href="/include/css/themename/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.css" rel="Stylesheet" />    
<script type="text/javascript" src="/include/js/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/include/js/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min.js"></script>

in the /skin/common_files/customer/main/product_details.tpl template. Then add the widget to any product description where i want it to show up. Does this make sense? Thanks!

EDIT - I mean /skin/common_files/customer/home.tpl ?

ok, i should have dug more before i made my last post. I see a lot of the functions are already built in. Is there some documentation on an easy way to call a particular jquery function on a single product? thanks!

[klinetim]

anyone have suggestions on how to call an XC jquery widget for a single product? Like the .dialog widget? I can't find anything in the forum or the manual how to easily do this...

Could you please clarify what exactly you are trying to achieve?

We have several products that require large tables of information. This makes the product details page look quite clunky. But, it's necessary to show the data so the customer can make a decision about whether or not they are buying the right part. So, I'd like to use something like the jquery accordion function to make this data less obtrusive since I can group it into sections. But, I don't need to use it on all of our products, just a few. Is it possible to do this in the x-cart back-end when I'm editing the Product Details? Thanks in advance for your time!
