I would like to add code to my sites that would show a small text box of information when you mouseover a particular word or link.

Can someone help?

Hello

Here is an example: http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/disjointedcssrollover5.htm it might have more than what you want going on.

Actually I'm looking for more of the type of action that occurs when you mouseover the threads in this forum.

CJ Not sure what you mean. Do you mean the title text? If so you get that by adding title="" to the link: ie...
<a href="link/" title="This is where the title text goes">Link</a>

Hope it helps :)

You could do something similar to this, except with text and not images.

Some good links thanks. I know I'm not describing myself very well.

Here is a for instance of what I'm looking for.

In the story below on Yahoo about terror suspects, when you put your mouse over the hperlink words FBI and HOMELAND Security, a small window pops up with more info.

That's using javascript to position/render the div then using an AJAX call to load the div's contents. I wouldn't think it would be too hard to write up a script to handle that. *thinks*

Nice link, thanks John and everyone.

The short answer posted by Johnny Gulag is what I was wanting to do. Thanks!
