Hi Pichi

when you say text pop-up what do you mean exactly? like a tooltip sort of thing or an alert box?

basically this give you an alert pop-up when you rollover. you need to add some CSS and CSS-positioning styles for a tooltip look.

<div id=&quot;test&quot; onmouseover=&quot;javascript:alert('hey!');&quot;>Rollover me</div>

Hi Pichi!

You need to add a TITLE attribute to a text link. Yes, a link - you can't do it with ordinary text!
Here's an example:

<a href=&quot;something.html&quot; title=&quot;it's a hint&quot;>text with hint</a>

It works in: IE5 (can't check in IE4), Netscape6 and Opera5.
Remember: it doesn't work in NN4.x!

Sorry, Pichi!
As I said, it cannot be done in NN4.x. Javascript function called by onMouseOver event also don't work there. You have to live with it.
May I ask you, what for do you need it? For me it doesn't seem to have any sence to add hints to text links.
