Enlarge facebook profile images

Shows the larger size profile picture when you hover over smaller images. Eg. images in search results or general thumbnails (appboxes, profiles or walls). Works for group thumbnails as well. UPDATED: workaround for asynchronous friends list.

Built on FB_PIC but mouseover for every profile image, not just linked ones.

Does the same as inYOfaceBook but without the strange mouseover behavior for the popups.

NOTE: When you navigate a friends list and eg. switch tab from "everyone" to "mutual" or something like that, the page does not reload, only the visible friends list reload. This makes the hovering disappear. I can't really think up a good way to solve this problem and have therefore updated the script with THE HACK, as follows.

IF THE LARGE PICTURE DOESN'T APPEAR WHEN HOVERING, CLICK IN
THE SEARCH BOX ONCE AND THE LARGE PICTURES SHOULD REAPPEAR

Version list

no, If you have the APP Parking wars... the old script could go check out there profile when you hover over a person parking on your street, with yours it just follows the mouse pointer :(

not to sure if you redid the code from this one *but this is the one I thought you meant*

the original/the other? I'm sorry but I really don't understand what you're getting at? If the original is v.1, the update to 1.1 is nothing but a small hack for the partial reloading (AJAX) of friends list, it changes nothing in functionality. And as far as I remember, FB_PIC and inYoFacebook did more or less the same thing, showing a larger picture when hovering not by clicking.

you could click the photo and be taken directly to there profile no matter where you clicked the photo from

Isn't this what facebook does sans greasemonkey?

Is this meant to follow mouse pointer?

This one is useless! update the original and leave it how it was!

the other was perfect... you could click the photo and be taken directly to there profile no matter where you clicked the photo from.

If anyone know of a better way to solve the asynchronous friends list loading conundrum, speak up!

Nice, a lot better than the other similar scripts.

By "host it yourself" I mean, "add it to your scripts".

Uj, I haven't logged in here for while. But I suggest that you split your script off and host it yourself. I myself like to keep the blowups for profile pics alone but your script works really well so no reason to keep it as a comment here. So I say branch in the name of "valfriheten" and I will link to that script with a detailed description of difference in functionality.

But I I will steal that bit about /statusupdates/ =) Nice!

No reason not to have this script blow up any images (photo galleries, groups and the like); I refactored this a bit to do so, into http://ecmanaut.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/sites/... -- feel free to update this version with that code.

You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
