PopUp Information for Netscape and IE

Guest_imported · May 22, 2001

In my recent web application, there is an area where the user can rollover some text (not an image) and a description of that text will pop-up in the same window. This works great in IE, but I can't get it to work in Netscape. Does anybody know how to create pop-ups that will work in both Netscape and IE?

Thanks

This works for me I have it start right after the <body>
<script>
if (!document.layers&&!document.all)
event="test"
function showtip(current,e,text){
if (document.all){
thetitle=text.split('<br>')
if (thetitle.length>1){
thetitles=''
for (i=0;i<thetitle.length;i++)
thetitles+=thetitle
current.title=thetitles
}
else
current.title=text
} else if (document.layers){
document.tooltip.document.write('<layer bgColor="white" style="border:1px solid black;font-size:10px;font-family:arial">'+text+'</layer>')
document.tooltip.document.close()
document.tooltip.left=e.pageX+5
document.tooltip.top=e.pageY+5
document.tooltip.visibility="show"
}
}
function hidetip(){
if (document.layers)
document.tooltip.visibility="hidden"
}
</script>
<div id="tooltip" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden"></div>

#####
Then on the text link <a href=" " onMouseover="showtip(this,event,'Brief Description')" onMouseout="hidetip()">Master Database</a>

Hope this helps you out.
