Advertisment/definition description stuff

[jojo_slash]

Hi I found that some site(like eldergreek) will show advertisment when you put your mouse arrow over some definition words and the advertisment describe the word. How do they do that? Is it possible to do that just using html? Please advise. Thanks!

there are several ways to do this, most commonly it is done with javascript but it can be done with CSS.

a.tooltip {  z-index:24;  color:#FF5E2F;  position:relative;  border-bottom:1px dashed #FF5E2F;  text-decoration:none;}a.tooltip:hover {  z-index:25;  color:#7a7a7a;  border-bottom:1px dashed #7a7a7a;  text-decoration:none;}a.tooltip span {  display:none;}a.tooltip:hover span {  position:absolute;  top:2em;  left:0em;  border:1px solid #F0D070;  padding:3px;  display:block;  width:245px;  color:#D0A010;  background-color:#FFFFE4;}On the text you want to tooltip you add a link (HREF) with a hidden SPAN tag, like so: <a class="tooltip" href="#">This text is shown and gets a tooltip<span>This text is shown on hovering the link</span></a>
