Help with image hover

[cgworld]

Hello Wj

i want to make something so when i go over the topic links the first image which is posted in the topic to be shown in a small box over the mouse cursor, for example this are the topic links :

I have seen this on many places but i cant remember where it was exactly so i don't have a link so you can understand what i want.
Any idea on how to do it ?

Thanks

it can be done.
just write a function which pull the first image from the post .
use css properties to make it display on hover..

Is there any class for it ?

I imagine you'de need to use file_get_contents to get the contents of the file, then strip away everyhthing but the content of the post. The use regex to find the first <img> tag (and whats between it, then allyou need to do is get that function to return the path of that image tag.
