Overlib will probably work for you. It's free. http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/ A quick googling (http://www.google.com/search?q=overlib+textarea) gave a page with an example that deals with the problem you're having, using overlib. http://www.macridesweb.com/oltest/hide.html Caveat Developor! [sic] Overlib is not particularly friendly for accessibility. Make sure you make the contextual help available in some other way that does not rely on javascript. You might consider looking into CSS-powered help popups: http://www.aqvi55.dsl.pipex.com/web/css_popups.htm www.tanfa.co.uk/css/articles/pure-css-popups-bug.asp HTH -- Maximillian Von Schwanekamp Dynamic Websites and E-Commerce NeptuneWebworks.com <http://www.neptunewebworks.com/> voice: 541-302-1438 fax: 208-730-6504
