OverLib - highlight text?

[Dave]

Is there a way to selectively highlight text in an OverLib popup? I'd
like to be able to make some text stand out from the rest of the text
that is displayed.

I tried using a one-cell table with background set to yellow, but that
caused the popup not to work at all (this might be a syntax problem -
I haven't been able to find any syntax examples for putting a table
inside an OverLib call)

Thanks
Dave

I don't know anything about OverLib, but using a table cell to
highlight text is not a good idea. Why not use a DIV or SPAN element
and style it using CSS?

And of course, you should post your code so others can see your
possible syntax problem...

That works - I don't know why I didn't see it myself to start with.
Getting old, I guess...

Many thanks!

Interesting! Must try it out.

On those pages they warn that Norton firewall does not like
having html elements in onmouseover parameter strings,
and prefers it this way:

==================
<script type='text/javascript'>
myTemp = 'Next is <span class=hi>highlighted</span>'
</script>

<div onmouseover =
"return overlib(myTemp ,WIDTH,270);"
==================

I cannot test that, as I use McAfee on my pc[s].
