Javascript and DIV popup help...

[vbMark]

Hello,

I am trying to add some functionality to an existing web app which is to do
this: when the mouse hovers over a link, a little DIV window shows some
text.

Instead of the DIV window acting like a popup, the text is written to the
page.

The problem, I believe, is due to the application already inheriting a
class to render the page. I have tried something like this with the DIV...

<div id="none"

But that just breaks it completely so nothing happens on the mouseOver
event.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Don't use javascript, this can be done with css.

Depends on what "shows" encompasses and what link means. For alpha blending
and non-`a' elements you need both stylesheets and scripting.

The proper signature delimiter is dash-dash-space-CR-LF, but with Google
Groups you can't create one as it removes the trailing space (like earlier
versions of Outlook Express). You should use a local newsreader application
instead.
