Pop-up help message box on mouse over link
Can someone hint me on how to use javascript to pop-up a little help dialog box after mouseover a link?
alert(0 is not suitable
No alert() is not suitable. I just mean a little box that pops up near the mouse, and goes away after you mouse-off the link. The user should not have to click "OK" in order for the box to disappear.
Maybe:
-Nay
Code: Select all

If you want to get fancy with it chck out overLIB. It's JavaScript and has a lot of functionality.

Here is a link to JS code that will do what you want.

You can call this script from your links, onmouseover, and it will build very nice "tips".

several different versions here... I think you'd want the one at the bottom of the page with the "links"
