Hi everyone
Actually I'm a php programer and don't no so much about java. After searching on google I found the java code you see below to open a popup when user moves the mouse pointer over a link. The code works fine with IE but not with Mozilla. Does anyone know why?

       }

</script>

I put this code between HEAD tags and then make my links like this

<body onload="initalt();">

<a href="index.php" onmouseover="doalt('your message');" onmouseout="realt();">Some text</a>

</body>

hi

It seems very difficult to edit your code to make it work with Mozilla. Your code is totally designed for IE and NetScape 4.x. I suggest you reGoogle the code you want.

hope it helps.

Hi
Thanks for the reply
Actually I'v been searching for this script and this is the only one I found. Other ones were too much for my website (like big popup windows with backgrounds and even sound).. I just need a little popup to show a text with a border and thats it. It doesn't seem so complicated.

Does anyone have such a script?
Thanks

document.getElementById('tooltip').style.left=tempX+10

document.getElementById('tooltip').style.top=tempY-10

Try amending those lines thus:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 document.getElementById('tooltip').style.left=tempX+10+'px';

document.getElementById('tooltip').style.top=tempY-10+'px';

You could Google for "javascript tooltip".

If you're going to do it yourself, get the mouse position and display the div at that position on the screen.

Try UltimaTips. You can use it to replace the standard title text or specify your own separate text using your own stylesheet. It also displays hidden elements adjacent to the cursor.

popup text when the pointer is on some text
