floating alt cursor

or something...

[Rischen]

Hi,

I'm looking for this... thing but I can't even think of how to describe it properly to do a search on it. I've tried 'floating alt cursor', 'alt cursor' and stuff but I can't find what I'm looking for. I'm sure y'all will know what I mean. It's that thing you find on some websites where when you hover an image (often a question mark) you get something kind of like an alt and kind of like an imgover function where the image (often more information on something) sort of floats with the cursor if you move it near the original image.

Anyone know what that is, where I can find the code, etc?

Really appreciate it,

Rischen

Try searching on: mouseover help text. Or some variation on that.

Could this be done with imagemaps/javascript by any chance?

Hi, I believe this is an request for a "tooltip" type popup. A internet search for "dhtml javascript tooltip" should do the trick. Or you could just go to [walterzorn.com ]
