    Just like the title says, I need a text window to pop up when a user hovers over another piece of text. This new text will provide more info for the user. Also can it disappear when the user moves their mouse away? Would be great if it could be placed where I want on the page too.

    I'm guessing I need javascript code for this?

    Thanks

    Thanks Andrew, that would work for simple text but I need several paragraphs opening in a css styled window.
