Dynamic Rollover

[JennB]

I have a website that generates a list of articles from a database. Each of these articles also has a description in the database which I want to pop up when the user rolls over the articles name. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for your help

As in a tooltip?

I guess. I just need a text box or something to appear on the rollover with the description (from the database) of the coresponding article.

The SQL is:
CompanyInfo.Source = &quot;SELECT Title, Author, description, filename, Title FROM Articles ORDER BY Title ASC&quot;

and the loop to list the articles is:
%>
While ((Repeat1__numRows <> 0) AND (NOT CompanyInfo.EOF))
%>
a href = &quot;articles/<%=(CompanyInfo.Fields.Item(&quot;filename&quot.Value)%>&quot;>
<%=(CompanyInfo.Fields.Item(&quot;Title&quot.Value)%> </a>
<%
Repeat1__index=Repeat1__index+1
Repeat1__numRows=Repeat1__numRows-1
CompanyInfo.MoveNext()
Wend
%>

Thanks. That code works really well on it's own but for some reason if I stick the exact same code in my asp page it doesn't work any more. Do I have to do something different?
