How can I create a tool tip type of box that contains a specific message when the mouse goes over a NON-Hyperlinked image? I know how to do it via the link method, but I need a simple one sentence message for a specific image on a home page, with no link from the image.

My skills are basic, but I can cut-n-paste!!!

TIA
 
There are two commands.

Use 'alt' when you require a tool tip over an image:

Code:
<img src=&quot;images/my_image.gif&quot; alt=&quot;This is my tool tip&quot;>

Use 'title' when you require a tool tip over text, for example you may have bold text that will draw the user's attention. When they hover over it they will get a tip! :

Code:
<font color=&quot;#000000&quot; title=&quot;This is my tool tip&quot;><b>Tool Tip</b></font>

Hope you find this useful.

Craig,

THANKX! I have been very frustrated trying to find this. My web is done except for this final detail.

Very much appreciated!
 
Your very welcome.

Just thinking actually... In FrontPage, if you right click over your image while you are in &quot;Normal&quot; mode, then select Picture Properties you can enter your tool tip into the &quot;Text&quot; box.

This will apply the &quot;alt&quot; command for you without entering into the code.

Cheers for now,
Craig
