Hover box, to see profile information

[Dillon]

Hello, I created a section on my website where users can log in. After they are logged in, they are sent to a homepage, which has a section that displays the other users online. Is it possible to create in php, or javascript, etc. to have when the user hovers over a username, a box pops up and shows their profile information? I pasted pictures below to help show what I am describing. Thanks for any help, I greatly appreciate it

It is most likely css.  Just search on that.

Thanks for the reply! but I was wondering about how to pull the information from the database, so it changes depending on the user that you are hovering over.

If you know how to use the SELECT feature then just put it in a while loop.  This is the easiest way, but this is assuming your using MYSQL.

Yep I am using MySQL, this is what I tried putting in the section, but it didn't load, do you have any other suggestions? Sorry, I am new with php.  :-\

 

while ($onlinename=true)

{

echo "this is a test";

echo $onlinename; }

?>

 

There is nothing significant about the code I did, it should just display "this is a test" if online is true, but it didn't work, do I have the syntax right?

 

Thanks,

Good examples here.

this is more css than java, also the second question is php based mysql so you should probably post it in that section, if you search for drop down navigation menus on google then you can use them as an example so that you can create the effect that you require using the css as a base to learn from.

Oh ok Thanks for the replies, I will mess with it tomorrow, and try to get it to work.
