hey all,

this might be a no brainer but how do you add a tooltip mouse pop up text box to a hyperlink as a brief description of what the hyperlink is?

Thanks

Chris

is excellent and would recommend this to anyone who wants to make their hyperlinks with tooltip popups

simple to use and very effective - very stylish too

acutally there is one issue

when you scroll down the page the tooltip appears relative to the top of the page and not the hyperlink positioning

if a clever sod can tell me how to fix this - undoubtably with a major code rewrite as the hyperlink postition is not a constant positioning within the browser window - workaround is to only use it where the browser isnt scrolled down i guess

is this correct to position the popup near the moused over link or is there something that is creating the above error

}

function MoveToolTip(layerName, FromTop, FromLeft, e){

if(ie){eval(doc + layerName + sty + ".top = " + (eval(FromTop) + document.body.scrollTop))}

if(ns){eval(doc + layerName + sty + ".top = " + eval(FromTop))}

eval(doc + layerName + sty + ".left = " + (eval(FromLeft) + 15))

}
