Hi Folks,
Does anyone know how to make it so when the mouse goes over a piece of text (or a graphic) a small bubble floats above it with some text?
Many thanks in advance,
Lurch

Try the title property of the corresponding HTML tag!?

I believe that images use the HTML tags within an alt attribute for the tool tips.

Google for 'overlib'
It does everything and more.

Overlib is pretty nice, but may be overkill. I tried it on
http://www.gotodon.com. It's extremely easy to implement, but is a
javascript-based solution (i.e., may not work for everyone because some
people turn off javascript). You can see everything needed to make it work
by viewing the source of the link I provided.
The "alt" tag is (from what I've read) fairly spotty in it's implementation.
The "title" tag seems the best choice in my experience. I either put a
label in my page (then move the "{Label1}" tag into the appropriate place
for the popup (AKA "tooltip") or I just type in a tag directly such as
"{tooltip}"
Then either set the Label "Value" property in the Before Show event:
ASP: Label1.Value = "title='" &Value & "'"
PHP: $Label1->SetValue( "title='" . $Label1->GetValue() . "'");
or use the template object's SetVar method:
ASP: Tpl.SetVar "tooltip", ""title='" &Value & "'"
PHP: $Tpl->SetVar("tooltip", ""title='" .Value . "'");
