How do I create Pop-up Baloons?

[dansphere]

Hello all, Could anyone help me with something? I would like to know a really simple method of creating a pop-up baloon when ever I hover the mouse over a word. Here's an example. I've looked at the source code but can't make sense of it.Any help is appreciated, Dan

They are using something similar to:http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/To do this, you will not find a "really simple method of creating a pop-up baloon" but this is one of the easier ones to use.

...or try something with 'aboslute' position divs, like:css:

#yourDiv {  position: absolute;  visibility: hidden;  }

then in the onmouseover event of your link or whatever, use something like:

document.getElementById("yourDiv").visibility="";document.getElementById("yourDiv").top=event.x;document.getElementById("yourDiv").left=event.y;

please note the 'something like' :)hope I helped
