I cannot figure out how to add a tooltip box. I would like for them to appear on rollover. FR 2000. Any suggestions? I'm tired of using the swap picture dhtml. Ick.

Just add the title attribute to your link, like so:
<a href="contact.htm" title="Click here to go to our contact
page">Contact</a>
(the above may wrap)

There is a site that has exactly what I want mine to do! Can you check it out and tell me how to do it? http://www.geocities.com/tashaclapp/ I've tried emailing her but have received no reply. When the page loads, roll over the menu boxes on the left. This can't be hard.
 
That is done with javascript pop-ups.
View the source for the page.

Maybr it's just me but things like that concern me. There's no way I'd allow
someone who didn't know how to start a program up to edit a site that
represents me/my business/my organization/whatever.

But like I said, maybe it's just me.
 
My popup blocker blocks the entire page all I see is the plaid bg. Can't stand free hosts with all those popups...but that's just me.

Cute site.

Do you mean "alt. text" tool tips? If so, when you create the hyperlink from the graphic all's ya do is type it in the Alt Text box (same place you create the hyperlink), which is probably simpler than what your doing now...but not as cute looking.




| To make my point, please visit my site: www.mrscourtney.com When the site-page links are rolled over, I'd like the description of that link to be in the pop-up. I apologize for any misinterpretation.
 
btw Dawn, just so you know...the right click protection for images is worthless

Yeah, the site that has the pop-up descriptions for links has baaaad pop-ups. I don't believe in those. I'll try the alt. text idea. Thanks!
 
Consider my "no-right-click" bubble popped. So how DO I keep my graphics from being jacked?
 
By not posting them. There is no way to keep someone from copying your
photos. You can add watermarks or upload lo-res photos but if a person can
see the pictures, they are already on their system.

Yer velcom...

and you can't really protect images...the best answer of the week goes to: Put 'em in a frame and hang 'em on your wall :-) ... can't remember who said it on the forum but I love it!

Dawn,

Try using title="whatever" rather than alt. The alt tip
won't show up in Netscape.

Also, if you need multiple line tips, use Enter & Space
bar in HTML view to control this.

Hi,
Steve has it right. I viewed the source and here's one of the pop-up
codes for the "Parent Stuff" menu item. For more, just view the source and
learn, learn, learn.

<tr>
<td>
<center><a href="parents.html" ONMOUSEOVER="popup('Homework tips, learning
styles, tips for talking to kids, instant sight words, links to our favorite
authors and characters, and more!','fffedf')" ; ONMOUSEOUT="kill()" ;
ONMOUSEOUT="kill()"><img SRC="blankparent3.GIF" BORDER=0 height=56 width=116
align=ABSCENTER></a></center>
</td>
</tr>

Hope this gets you going.
