onmouseover glossary

[duponty]

Is there a way to make an onmouseover glosary by html or javascript?

So, you want a pop-up window for each word on the page to show up when you mouse over it?

Yes. I have a scientific text that I want to anotate. I've few words that I want to explain and I dont want to make a glossary web page. I would prefer that people could have information only by mouse over (mouseclick), similar to window pop help windows.

thanks

i had the same problem. there's a script on dynamicdrive.com that makes nice pop up boxes by mike mcgrath. you can find it if you search for Pop up information box II.

hope this helps,
tom

you can use the "title" property as well
<span title=&quot;definition of that word&quot;>that word</span>
will display a tooltip with &quot;definition of that word&quot; when the mouse is over &quot;that text&quot;

it's ie only ((
but it's light and requires no jscript coding :]

A simple solution would be to use the HTML tools you've got.

<ACRONYM TITLE=&quot;This is Dyanmic HTML.  The use of CSS, JScript and HTML to make cool pages!&quot;>DHTML</ACRONYM>

This is IE only. (Notice the trend? All the goodies are IE only.)

As said earlier, you can also use SPAN

you can use almost any tag to add the &quot;title&quot; property to
