Darkness Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yeah... Does anyone know how to make that info box come up when you put the mouse over an image, text, etc.? I don't quite know how to explain it, but, uh, click Back, and put your cursor over a topic title. A think will come up saying when the topic was created or whatever. How do you do that? Or is that not HTML? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Moen Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Do you mean this? <img src="url_for_image" alt="This text will appear when you take your mouse over the image" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulpfiction Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 What you are looking for is "Tooltip". and alt="some text" will work for images... if you need complex tooltips. this might helphttp://www.walterzorn.com/tooltip/tooltip_e.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennylin93 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 The alt attribute wasn't made to make text show up on an image when you put your mouse over it. It is supposed to show up when the browser is unable to access an image. Internet Explorer doesn't use it properly, but Firefox does. If you want to make text show up while your mouse is over it, you can use "title": <img src="where your file is" alt="text here" title="text here" width="width of image" height="height of image" /> If you want stuff to show up while your mouse is over text, you can use: <a href="hyperlink (optional)" title="text here">text here</a> Delete the "href" part if you're not using a hyperlink.

Anders Moen Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Most likely is, but, dosen't seem to be working...That's because you need to hold your mouse over it 'till it comes.And if you want a linebreak you can just push enter and continue your text. I don't know if this works in all browsers, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
