Andrew,

Thanks for your reply. Actually, Mckinney provided the similar solution a
few days ago.  The real problem is that I can not pass the value of id to 
getElementById() in the following code:

========================================================================
document.getElementById("'+id+'").onmouseover=function(){
	clearTimeout(TIMER);
document.getElementById("'+id+'").style.visibility="visible";
}
	   	    
document.getElementById("'+id+'").onmouseout=function(){
TIMER=setTimeout('document.getElementById("'+id+'").style.visibility="
hidden"', 500);
}

============================================================================
It complains that  "document.getElementById("'+id+'") has no properties"

This is where I got stuck.  This is the link to the complete code:
