I am creating a website in FrontPage. I want to insert those pop up
informaton windows. I will use this when there is a word or term that needs
more explaining. How can I do this?

You can do two things, if you want a real popup browser window to open,
you'll need to do this with JavaScript. There are already lots of good free
scripts out there so just search http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/
for some nice ones.

The other thing you can do is to create a link around the word and set the
link's title attribute to whatever text you want. This will show a tooltip
effect for a few seconds like so:

<a href="#" title="This is some information">A Word</a>

Of course, the downside is since it has to be a link for this to
work users may get confused by the link. Using the popup browser method is
probably better, although it still requires you to create a link to do it,
at least id does something noticable for the user. Just be warned that some
of the more aggressive pop-up blockers may block the use of this feature.

Hope this helps,

Or use span tags with a title tag. They won't change the cursor like a link.

<span title="This is the text.">TEXT</span>

Try a span tag with a title tag:

<span title="This is the text.">TEXT</span>
