Tying to get the actions function to work correctly, without much success. I have a series of pictures in a table and next to it floating boxes with text in it. I need for the user to mouse over the image and i want the text to appear next to the image and disapear when the user moves the mouse off

 
It is possible to place your text in divs and then use actions to show/hide the divs as required. You need an action group to hide all the divs on mouse enter (you can't predict which one if any is currently visible) then another action to show the div you want visible. Then set a mouse exit action to activate the above action group that hides all the divs.

Here are a couple sites of mine that do something similar:


I used a different a slightly differand method in the sites above. My text/images appear in a named cell. Pick a cell where you want the text to appear and give it an id (ie. < td id="swapholder") then attach the Swap Text ID action to an image. This action will change the contents of the cell to whatever you want. You can place complete html in the cell with links, images etc...
