I have a page of directors photos and I want to fix it so that when I run
the mouse over a photo a little dialogue box opens which would copntain the
individuals detail, I have been able to put a hyperlinh in which takes me to
a different page but I am looking for something more sophisticated. I have
seen it on other sites. Any ideas?

Many thanks, have looked that site and the second example with the arrow is
exactly what I want, the idea of putting all that code in terrifies me
especially as I have 10 different pictures to deal with on the same page. Is
there no easier alternative?
Thanks

Yes, hire someone to do it for you.

Hey
I had a look at this code and it does look a bit daunting.

But remember that the styles and scripts can be place in external files and
linked in the <head> section
e.g.
<!-- External CSS Files -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

<!-- External JS Files -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/external.js"></script>

Beforte copying the code into these files, you need to remove
<style type="text/css">
</style>
from the CSS
and
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
from the JS

All you need in the body is, e.g.
onMouseover="ddrivetip('JavaScriptKit.com JavaScript tutorials', 300)";
onMouseout="hideddrivetip()"
which is added to the relevant tag e.g. an <a>

I like the look of it. I have used other tooltips before with a fair deal of
success, but I removed most of them because title="......." will generally
do what I want.
 
Not trying to be funny.

You say that the things that need to be done are terrifying. You want an
easier way. So, do what needs to be done yourself, hire someone to do it for
you, or forget it.
