<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Simplest way: for IE only
(although I'm not sure of Netscape 6), you can use the TITLE attribute in just
about any tag. The basic syntax is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<A HREF="bob.html" TITLE="You can see this when you leave the mouse over this
link for a second">Bob</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> There are more involved,
cross-browser DHTML versions that you can learn about by visiting <A

and looking at the positioning, hiding, and showing tutorials.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers,</FONT></DIV>

question</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi,<BR><BR>I'd like to implement a menu using mouseover (I
guess) so<BR>that a brief explanation of each menu line pops up when
the<BR>mouse passes over it. Like the "hints" that Windows shows<BR>when the
mouse stays on a menu icon.<BR><BR>Could someone point me to some
code?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Pete<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Javascript
