IE is fine.. this is using <acronym> or <span> - If I use soemthing like <a href onMouseover="showtip(this,event,'My text tip to display.')" onMouseout="hidetip()"><font size="2">MyLink</font></a> then nothing in firefox, but fine in IE.... any suggestion.. Also these mouseovers seem to diappear in a few seconds, how do I get something that stays around for a while so they can read the text... thanx, -HQ

Do you have a webpage that uses this command in the way you describe, Thanx, -HQ (in reply to womble)

Do you have a webpage that uses this command in the way you describe That was just an example. I was assuming that your hyperlink was linking to another page. I've used both the title and alt attribute on images on this site. There are differences though in how IE and FF show tooltips (hence why when I remember I use both alt and title). This site has info on the differences between IE and FF, and explains how IE and FF render the alt and title attributes differently - http://www.computergripes.com/firefoxsites.html#Tooltips As Kitka says though, you can control a lot more using css. _____________________________ ~~ "A cruel god ain't no god at all" ~~ ~~ Erase hate.

Since my CSS expereince is pretty much none existent I could not figure out how to get your link / routine to work http://psacake.com/web/jl.asp Obviously pasting it straight in does not work... What do I need to do / learn to get this to function? ANy websites or help would be much appreciated.. thanx, -HQ (in reply to womble)
