mouseover

[Mattwatters]

Hi

I am writing a perl script which prints out a html table containing various variables. I was wondering if anyone would know how to add on mouseover functionality so that when the mouse goes over the text or variable inside the table an alert window pops up

<td>25</td>

i.e. when the user hovers over 25 a pop up window appears. I will add functionality to the pop up window at a later date for now a simple &quot;hello&quot; messgae on the alert would be fine.

thanks

<td onmouseover=&quot;alert('hello')&quot;>25</td>

Or did you want a browser window? The problem there is that browser windows are slooooow to open and may anoying if it's activated too easilly.

ok to do this put this on the outsides of the 25 like this

<td><div onMouseover=&quot;alert('hello')&quot;>25</div></td>

to put in a popup window use this

function popUp() {
window.open('url.html','nameforwindow','height=300 width=300')
}

<td><div onMouseover=&quot;popUp()&quot;>25</div></td>

of course you can add more functionality to the popup but that is a simple one...if you need more help with the popup or anything else just post back here
