[Javascript] Newbie: Menu question

Pete,

    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:

         <A HREF="bob.html" TITLE="You can see this when you leave the mouse over this link for a second">Bob</A>

    There are more involved, cross-browser DHTML versions that you can learn about by visiting http://www.dansteinman.com/dynduo and looking at the positioning, hiding, and showing tutorials.

Cheers,

Peter

  Hi,

  I'd like to implement a menu using mouseover (I guess) so
  that a brief explanation of each menu line pops up when the
  mouse passes over it. Like the "hints" that Windows shows
  when the mouse stays on a menu icon.

  Could someone point me to some code?

  Thanks,
  Pete
