Newbie OnMouseOver

[tc3596]

If I hover over a text object, I want it to display text (tooltip) data. Roughly a paragraph of information. How do I accomplish this? Would it be easier to have some sort of empty table, and populate it with different information depending upon which text object I hover over?

I'm a db programmer not a web one.

Use the title attribute that is built in to HTML:

<span title="This text describes xyz">How to do xyz...</span>

If you want more control, consider using a DHTML replacement (see the tooltip section at

http://www.dynamicdrive.com

for some examples).

Hope this helps,
Dan
