Help with window opener.

Need help here - just not sure i can explain myself properly.

You know when you hover over a link in Yahoo news a window opens up with a summary of the link's content? Its what I need to do.

I want a window to open NEXT TO THE LINK when I hover over the link - "onmouseover".
And then disappear "onmouseout".

Any help is appreciated.

 

Here's a site that uses Prototype to do accomplish the effect you're looking for. The samples show how to do what you want.

 

Excellent stuff sgtsloth - green coming your way and thanks a bunch for your help.

 

Hello, Jamie.
An easy way to get a little pop-up window for a link when the cursor hovers over it is to use the TITLE attribute.

The TITLE attribute provides a text for an element that is commonly implemented as a "tooltip" on visual browsers. This attribute is most useful with A, LINK, IMG, and OBJECT elements. For example:

<A HREF="mailto:jaime@lister.com" TITLE="Feedback for Jamie"
>jamie@lister.com</A>

 

you could also look through www.voyageenarmenie.com (go to sections like Armenie > Extensions)

if you can't figure out how the popups work I can help you, just PM me
