    Would someone kindly help me please. Either tell me what this is called so I can search for it myself or plse provide info.

    Somtimes within a paragraph, a site will have a word and when you point at it, the meaning is displayed in the screen.

    I want to do the same with a graphic - let them point at the graphic and it will load info and pricing in a box about that item.

    I have searched whatever I can think of but nothing comes up.

    what is this called or why I can find the code

    thx so much for the help

    roseau,

    Hi,

    Myabe you'll try to do it with adding a title tag?

    for e.g.: <img src="some_graphic.jpg" title="Info and Price of this object" alt="image"/>

    This is the simplest way I think :)

    yes I think a title might work - but the thing is the description for these items is 2 or 3 lines long.

    This is frustrating. I see this on so many websites, now I can;t find one sample - lol

    thx kookaborra
