Anyone know where to get a Tool Tips javascript that will pop up a little
box when hovered for words that needs more explanation. I'm using Front Page
BTW.

Google for overlib, that's the most common javascript one.

You can also use the title attribute which works even for people without
javascript turned on. Three examples:

<span title="Cascading Style Sheets">CSS</span>

<abbr title="Cascading Stylesheets">CSS</span>

<acronym title="Cascading Stylesheets">CSS</acronym>

The HTML<abbr> is the correct mark-up for abbreiviation while <acronym> is
the correct one for, well, acronyms.

maybe you don't even need JavaScript at all. if the word doesn't need a lot
of additional explanation or if the pop-up doesn't need to be specifically
formatted you can use .css to make the word look different and a title
attribute to create the pop-up on mouseover.

Hmm, that's a good point. I hadn't thought of that.
I only use it on the "acronym" tag so it's showing fairly little
information. I do like using the cursor properties to give it a "help"
cursor though. :-)

The link that I gave above has something that works well. I don't have any
need for it, but I have played with it, and it's easy to use. You can also
put a photo in the tooltip.

Yes, but if you move the mouse cursor off the image and back onto it again
it comes back for another 4 seconds

A tooltip that can be tailored for various things is wz_tooltips at

The problem with the title attribute is that it only stays on for four
seconds.

I agree.
I found and bookmarked it some time ago, since it seemed "lighter" and
easier to use than "overlib".

Did you find that to be the case?
 
Which link are you talking about ?

I went through ths thread yesterday and couldn't find it

Is it wz_tooltips ?

If so, I didn't know you could add a photo
