    Like in the new google analytics, how do you create those overlays over a link?

    Could you describe the effect slightly more.

    Well like google analytics has a little bar "under/over" each link that tells you the clicks... I'm just wondering how they manage to accomplish inserting something like this at every link - especially with sections being abs/relatively positioned, etc.

    What I want is something like this:

    (That's their old version of it... new version is better, but still.. the idea)

    Well thats dynamic, so my guess would be java or php, you can display static alt text for links by using title="some info"

    Hmm perhaps CSS wasn't the best place to put this thread then... :S

    I do know PHP and JavaScript, but the best I can think of is searching for <a> tags and wrapping them in a div or something...
