content menus

How do i get a drop down menu to appear when a site visitor scrolls over or
clicks on a word? When i ask help it just refers to the program drop down
menus

is it a drop down or a "tool tip" you're looking for?

It must be a tool tip - and I think i have discovered the answer - is it a
thing called a cascading style sheet?

style sheet will be good.
you can wrap the word in a span. I'll give you an example:

<span title="another meaning" class="definitions">some stupid word</span>

then to make it really stand out differently from the other text this would
be how the .definitions span may look in the style sheet:

..definitions{
background: #FFFFFF;
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
color: #800000;
cursor: help;
}

that way you'll have a unique look, and by making it throw the "help" cursor
the visitor will know something is supposed to happen.
