Below are described the configuration variables and arrays associated with the overlib commands, and their defaults as set in the overlibmws.js core module and the overlibmws_bubble.js, overlibmws_crossframe.js, overlibmws_debug.js, overlibmws_draggable.js, overlibmws_exclusive.js, overlib_filter.js, overlibmws_function.js, overlibmws_hide.js, overlibmws_overtwo.js, overlibmws_print.js, overlibmws_scroll.js and overlibmws_shadow.js plugin modules. The overlibmws_iframe.js and overlib_regCore.js plugin modules do not have configuration variables or arrays. You can change any of the configuration default values for all pages by making the modifications in overlibmws.js or the plugin modules, or for individual HTML pages by declaring any of these variables with the values you prefer in a SCRIPT block or imported js file for those pages. You instead can change the configuration default values for individual HTML pages by calling the OLpageDefaults(arguments) function in a SCRIPT block or imported js file with "arguments" consisting of a comma-separated list of uppercase command names and their parameters if any, homologously to the arguments for an overlib() call. The overlibmws_overtwo.js module is used by calling overlib2() and nd2() from within an overlib() call that invokes a primary popup, to invoke and close secondary popups. Its LABLE2 command and its configuration variable are specific to the secondary popups, and are complementary to the core module's LABLEL command and its configuration variable for primary popups. The overlibmws_iframe.js module has no additional commands, and thus no configuration variables. It should be imported when a page has system controls (e.g., some form elements, flash objects, applets) which obscure overlib popups. It corrects this problem for IE v5.5 or higher. For versions of IE lower than v5.5 and for other browsers, you can use commands in the overlibmws_hide.js plugin module. See the examples in http://www.macridesweb.com/oltest/hide.html and http://www.macridesweb.com/oltest/flash.html on how to use those command to hide the system controls when overlib popups are invoked. The overlibmws_regCore.js module has no overlib() or overlib2() commands, and thus no configuration variables. It should be imported in frames which will not themselves import the core module and any plugin modules, but instead will use those in another frame. See its header for more information. Examples of its use are in http://www.macridesweb.com/oltest/testFrame.html See the overlibmws Command Reference (http://www.macridesweb.com/oltest/commandRef.html) for more information about the commands, configuration variables, and plugin modules. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // DEFAULT CONFIGURATION FOR CORE MODULE overlibmws.js //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // FGCOLOR - Main background color (the large area). // Usually a bright color (white, yellow etc). var ol_fgcolor = "#CCCCFF"; // BGCOLOR - Border color. // Usually a dark color (black, brown etc). var ol_bgcolor = "#333399"; // CGCOLOR - Caption background color (typically same as border color). // Usually a dark color (black, brown etc). var ol_cgcolor = "#333399"; // TEXTCOLOR - Text color. // Usually a dark color. var ol_textcolor = "#000000"; // CAPCOLOR - Color of the caption text. // Usually a bright color var ol_capcolor = "#FFFFFF"; // CLOSECOLOR - Color of "Close" when using Sticky. // Usually a semi-bright color. var ol_closecolor = "#9999FF"; // TEXTFONT - Font face for the main text. var ol_textfont = "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"; // CAPTIONFONT - Font face for the caption. var ol_captionfont = "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"; // CLOSEFONT - Font face for the close text. var ol_closefont = "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"; // TEXTSIZE - Font size for the main text. var ol_textsize = "1"; // CAPTIONSIZE - Font size for the caption. var ol_captionsize = "1"; // CLOSESIZE - Font size for the close text. var ol_closesize = "1"; // FGCLASS - Main background class. var ol_fgclass = ""; // BGCLASS - Frame background class. var ol_bgclass = ""; // CGCLASS - Caption background class. var ol_cgclass = ""; // TEXTPADDING - Padding for main text. var ol_textpadding = "2"; // TEXTFONTCLASS - Main font class. var ol_textfontclass = ""; // CAPTIONPADDING - Padding for caption (including Close text if present). var ol_captionpadding = "2"; // CAPTIONFONTCLASS - Caption font class. var ol_captionfontclass = ""; // CLOSEFONTCLASS - Close font class. var ol_closefontclass = ""; // CLOSECLICK - If the user has to click to close stickies. var ol_closeclick = 0; // CLOSETEXT - Text for the closing sticky popups.
