This patch is written as an ADDITION to your existing OverLIB 3.33. In other words, the faint-of-heart do not have to edit their copy of OverLIB. There is a separate patch for Mini users. See separate instructions below.
  • Obtain a copy of the patch. Click here. A new window will open. The patch file is downloaded as a .txt so it will appear in the new browser window. There should be no line-wrap.
  • For the faint-of-heart.
    • Save-as 'over333a.js' in the same directory as overlib.js.
    • Upload over333a.js to your server.
    • Add a line to your webpage. ALL OF YOUR WEBPAGES. Locate the line that loads OverLIB.
      <script type="text/javascript" src="YourPath/overlib.js"></script>>
    • Immediately BELOW that, add this line.
      <script type="text/javascript" src="YourPath/over333a.js"></script>
  • If you would prefer to cut-and-paste your overlib.js file rather than change every page, follow these additional instructions.
    • At line 679-697, replace function ol_content_simple() and ol_content_caption()
    • At line 1005-1014, replace functions opt_FGCOLOR() and opt_BGCOLOR()
    • Discard the line in the patch
      "var o3_fgcolorraw =ol_fgcolor, o3_bgcolorraw =ol_bgcolor;"
      It is a shortcut so the patch does not have to be huge.
    • Instead, After line 282, insert
      var o3_bgcolor="";
      var o3_fgcolorraw="";
      var o3_bgcolorraw="";

      var o3_textcolor="";
    • After line 387, insert
      o3_bgcolor=ol_bgcolor;
      o3_fgcolorraw=ol_fgcolor;
      o3_bgcolorraw=ol_bgcolor;

      o3_textcolor=ol_textcolor;
