Text Pop-up

Can someone please help me.

I have created a calendar with text in every cell.
What I want to do is throw a pop-up on the screen showing the
information for that date when I hover over the date.

Here's an example >>
http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/41186/41186.html


Notice that if you highlight the word Windows Server a pop-up comes up
with a sponsored link. That is similar to what I want to accomplish,
except that it is for an internal calendar.

I thank you in advance,
Jay
 
you can use an <acronym> tag, surround the content with it and give it's
title whatever you want to pop-up, you could also use FrontPage 2003's
layers and behaviors to do it or even find a JavaScript that will help. a

I thank you for the quick response Chris.
I'm new to frontpage, can you please tell me where I add the acronym
tag, how do I go about implementing it.

Thank you
 
but it's fun!

sure it' goes around a word, or picture and looks like this;
lets say the word is "Description", in your code it'd look like this....
As in my previous <acronym title="A description is explanatory information
about a specific word">description</acronym>, this is an acronym.

when you then hover over the acronym it'll have a "tool tip".

You can also use some .css to "style" them. I like to add a "help" cursor.
here are a few examples of acronyms next to some regular links:

"FrontPage informational links"

Doesn't have to be an <acronym> tag, and probably shouldn't be by html guidelines
All it has to be is any element that supports the title attribute in a tag like <span>
- see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/attributes.html

<acronym> </acronym>
This element indicates that content is an Acronym (an abbreviation formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in
a phrase.)

Ya know, for some reason I'd held the wrong idea of what an acronym was (I
was thinking synonym) not acronym.
FWIW, IE does a lot of text, Mozilla/FF only do about 30 chrs. in the title.
