Text / Dialogue Boxes on links

What are the various (& best) ways to show a Text or Dialogue box over
a text link. I know a common method is to use the Javascript's 'onmouseover'
but are there any other ways of doing so, particularly just using html.
What I'm actually trying to do is to make a link from a pure php script page.

Thanks in advance.

HTML doesn't "show" anything, it just "tells" the user agent the structure
of the document. IOW, HTML is a markup language, not a programming one.

Markup doesn't care how the page is generated.

Does PHP have the feature to display a text or dialogue box over a text link (similar to javascript's 'onmouseover'). Ideally, I would like a simple message when the mouse is over the link displaying a brief description of the link. However, not like javascript's alert() function which is quite annoying, don't want users to have to close pop-up windows or click OK everytime. Thankyou. tg.

Hi, Hopefully this is not too much offtopic. I'm working on a FAQ. I want to make two versions of it, plain text and HTML. I'm looking for a tool that will make a plain text doc out of the HTML doc. The HTML version doesn't have anything fancy, just internal links. So the tool must be able to delete internal links and anchors from the HTML version, but leave external links in simplified form. That is, the HTML version would say <a...

When JavaScript writes out a dialogue box (like when confirm() is called) the header or title of that dialogue box shows up as "JavaScript Application"... Can this title be changed so that maybe you could stick the name of your application in it?

Folks, I have seven text boxes which will contain measurements - I would like the user to input their values in the order that I have listed the boxes.

I have Vista installed on a new laptop - it has never had XP. The issue I have is that dialogue boxes that appear as the normal part of a program that will sometimes not respond to the answer I give, most times will freeze and will not accept the answer at all (example: email sender wants a receipt) and essentially this freezes the program - the only way to remove the box is to go to the Task Manager and close down the program. Usually I...

Hi, Okay, so I am in the mood to try this: Inform the user about what modules the app requires in a graphical dialogue that can vary depending on what the system already has installed. (It will fail-to output on cli) I am running Kubuntu and I seem to have 'kdialog' installed by default (not sure if it came as stock.) What other 'stock' systems are there out there in the wild? Ubuntu? Suse? Fedora? Others?

Hey all, have a weird issue here. It may be a bug, but thought I'd ask in here in case anyone has come across it (or wants to try to duplicate it). I have a very complicated form in which I'm inserting tooltip text, and status bar text information on all the objects in Design View, to help guide the end users. The layout is one tab control with a few pages populated with a bunch of combo boxes, list boxes, text boxes, and a few subforms...
