Hi everyone

How do you create a rollover list? Basically when someone rolls thier mouse over a link a box comes to the right of the link showing what is conatained in that link. I don't want a text box but an image I've created to come up.

Thanks
 
You would use javascript to do this. You would most likely aim for a solution where you need only add a class to the link to indicate it should display some content in a "tooltip-like" box. (Some javascript code would collect all the links with a particular class on page load, then append onmouseover and onmouseout events to them that showed a popup box when you hovered over the link).

You may find something pre-written at places like:

You may find some of the posts in the javascript forum Forum216 useful to do this as well.

Cheers,
Jeff

Thanks Jeff

I have figured it out. How do you delete a thread you have posted?
