Ok I run a game site that contains lots of flash games, well I came across this site. www.CrapVille.com If you hover over the thumbnail's in the middle a box appears with a description in it. That's exactly what I wanna do with my thumbnails and still keep it's hover properties without losing them. So basically just like that CrapVille site, is anyone familiar with this and how would I do this.
Upon viewing the page's source code (right click and select View Source), it looks like they're using CSS. <img src="http://www.crapville.com/thumbs_videos/newsbloopers.gif" alt="" width="75" height="75" border="0" title="offsetx=[10] offsety=[10] header=[<font class='tooltiptitle'>News Bloopers:</font><br>A small collection of news bloopers from around the world. Pretty funny stuff] body=[]" class="graphic"><br> Code (markup): (notice the class='tooltoptitle') And the CSS in the beginning of the document is: <style type="text/css"> .tooltiptitle { font-size: 11px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFCC; text-transform: uppercase; } .tooltipdescription { font-size: 10px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; color: #76AAD1; } --> </style> Code (markup):
The thumbnails look to be using title tags, title="tool tip content here". Since you are talking about images, alt="content" allows visually impaired visitors with Screen Readers to decipher your images. I use both alt and title together, usually. CSS seems to be geared towards controlling the tooltips font and color.
