Custom shaped tooltip with page inside - Where is the script ?

Hi
I have seen on some web pages a nice type of tooltip.

See for instance http://www.programurl.com/software/tooltip.htm
and mouse over on Javascript (first box left).

Can anyone point me or provide the script to realize this kind of
tooltip, which I like.

Thank you,

Pam

really do much more apart from showing a hiding a box:

foo.display='';
foo.display='none';

Anyway, I guess you'll love overLIB, a World Wide Web classic:

Do you mean that's not a "real" tooltip ?
I also found
http://www.texsoft.it/index.php?c=so...mltooltip&l=it
instrunction to do a tooltip. But...

But i find a little boring that rectangular shape.

Could anyone show how could I replicate the first type of tooltip (the
one on http://www.programurl.com/software/tooltip.htm). I do not know
much about javascript, just use some common sense and cut and paste.

I would like to be able to put it on my page.
(even though a programmer can find it too "easy" to do ).

are defined by the GUI library the program is using. The page you mention
uses plain old HTML.

As I said, it's pure HTML. JavaScript merely moves the box around the page
and shows/hides it. Create a box with the desired design and that's all. As
for having non-rectangular shapes with transparency, the only portable
trick is using GIF files with a transparent colour.
