Compliant and Accessible Information Box

[Jeremy_H]

Hello,

I have a form I ask users to fill out.

Some of the questions people might wonder why I'm asking, and I want to provide them an answer.

After the question, I have some text that says "why?".

I want it so if the user clicks on that, a box will pop up with the answer.

I know pop-ups will mostly be blocked, and I know that opening a new window is not Strict HTML 4.01 compliant.

I thought of title text for the link, but thought it would be awkward for the user to read. (And people would think to click the link, not hoover over it.)

I even thought about using a JavaScript alert box, but discounted that idea since it would only work for people with JavaScript, and the "off-putting" noise it will make.

Is their a standards compliant, and accessible way I can make an announcement work?

I think of one
CSS has a way to display on overing a link text
Pure CSS no JS
Since I did not use it I do not remember where I found it
Do a search and you will find it

Only problem is that it needs to be a link to work
So you could possibly have all the answers on a single page
Overing will display the answers and if they still decide to click the link a full lists of answers will be supplied
