Shadow81 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ok, firstly, can this be done using css only... if not, would someone be so kind as to create me a javascript that will achieve what I am looking for? I cannot find a snippet anywhere What I am looking for is a way to make help text appear in a box explaining what the link leads to. Basically I have 4 boxes with text inside them. The first 3 are links, which lead to different sections of account configuration. The 4th box on the right is the "Assistant" - and when a user hovers their mouse over one of the boxes I would like text to show in the "Assistant" box explaining what can be configured in that category. When the mouse is NOT hovering over a link, the "Assistant" box will have text in explaining that when the mouse hovers a link, information will appear here to assist. I hope I have been able to explain it well enough for you guys to understand. Ive attached an image to try help explain.

Shadow81 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi, ClueTip looks good, but I cant seem to find how to use it in the way I described anywhere. The other thing is, the box on the right, the "Assistant" automatically sizes itself to fit text inside it, I am conerned that ClueTip would just kind of hover over it, and potentially overlap it? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
