Newegg Quick Viewer
Displays the full-size version of product thumbnails when you hover over them on newegg.com
Description
This script makes it quick and easy to view the full-size version of almost any product thumbnail image on newegg.com. Hover over a thumbnail with your cursor on any page to see the big picture. If the enlarged picture in the Quick Viewer overlaps with your cursor, click to close it.
Some products use a new flash-based slideshow for large images and I can't get at the images themselves; a lot of digital cameras have this issue. Those are marked with a red 'No' Symbol in the Quick Viewer in this version.
This script is based on the excellent inyof4cebook script by znerp.

Thanks, mathe! I'm glad you like it.
It may be possible to load the flash preview using something like
GM_xmlhttprequest. I think constantly loading new flash files might be unfairly demanding of Newegg's servers, though.I like the idea of moving the No symbol closer to the image/cursor. The way I implemented it was basically a lazy way to let the user know the script is still working properly.
Maybe instead of a runner on the popup, there could be a tiny runner next to the original thumbnail (that sounds easier ;-) ). Or you could use ctl+scroll wheel to cycle through them all?
Thanks for the feedback. Did you end up finding anything out on your own?

The flash player does pose an interesting problem. I don't have time at the moment but will look into it later tonight and see if I can help out! : )
It works just as you said it would, but I have a couple of requests/suggestions to make it even better:
- Have the red "No" symbol appear either over the image (a transparent overlay of the "No" sign that covered the thumbnail would be awesome!) or somewhere closer to the mouse. Sometimes it isn't noticeable at the top right of the screen.
- Expand the popup to include a runner with thumbnails of the product that are available to view. To avoid problems with the click event on the popup, you might include a close button or even create something like the browsing buttons that appear on either side of images on AMO when other pics are available.
I'll post more suggestions or feedback if I have any. Great job!
