Is it possible to mouseover a GRAPHIC . . . that launches another (freestanding) GRAPHIC (ie. when flash is _not_ available)?

This solution would be for the poor amongst us who cannot afford
Macro~, er, Adobe's flash program. ;)

I'd like to design a "think cloud" (w/transparent background) and have
it pop up when someone does a mouse over on this person's head -- you
know, as if he were thinking this thought.

Is such a thing even possible without flash? Thanks folks!

<img src="somepic.jpg" onMouseOver='popImg('anotherpic.jpg')' id='someid'>

<script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>

function popImg(picname) {

//top pop up another browser window with the pic

window.open('http://server/directory/'+picname,'windowname','width=400;
height=400');

//to change an existing image....
document.getElementById('someid').src=picname;

//to make some hidden division popup
//Somewhere in the html...
//<div id='somediv' style='position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 100px;
display: none;'></div>

divid = document.getElementById('somediv').
divid.style.display = 'block';
divid.innerHTML='<img src="'+picname+'">';
}

</script>

Wow, PCX thanks. Let me fool around with it a bit and I'll report
back.

Can I ask also:
Do I have any control over the popup as to:
1. Appearing ON TOP OF any other frames, images etc.
2. Transparency

?

I'm just trying to achieve a lovely little think cloud, complete with
puffy edges, that looks like it just shows up and sits on top of
(anything else) that it may overlap anecdotally.

Of course it's possible. It's not even very hard if you understand CSS
and the :hover pseudo class.

A nearly identical question was asked in another group:

and a responder gave (I thought) a great solution. Here's an adaptation
of his response that you might like:

I didn't invent the solution, I'm merely passing it on to you with a
few tiny changes.
