How to create a pop-up in the same window

[ghurty]

How would I go about making it that when someone moves their mouse over a  link, a small window opens up and displays info.

 

I dont want it to be a real pop-up, rather it is part of the current page, just overlayed on top of a section.

 

Thanks

You do a remote image rollover

A what?

There are two different kind of popups you can use. CSS popups, which just pop something up while you are rolling over the link. Here are some tutorials:

Or else you can use a lightbox, which is a javascript method that is more flashy. This window will stay open until clicking close:

Check them both out and see which one suits your needs.

Here is an additional thread about "tooltips" as I would call them.

try these:

 

if u dont want a navigation ..

even add the code like

<a href="#" title="YOUR MSG GOES HERE"/>YOUR TEXT</a>

 

or

 

on mouse over show the div on top of it by setting the div position as 'absolute'
