hover over image, and make popup box appear??

[macman]

Hi Everyone,

Any help here would be much appreciated. What I would like to do is have a picture of a horse, that’s the simple part and when people would hover over certain areas (i.e. face, legs...etc), a popup window would appear explaining the characteristics of what you should be looking for in a good horse. I hope that makes sense.

Not sure if that type of thing is covered in bluevoda?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask

Thanks,
Gary

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the info here brilliant. One problem with this example though, here's the example for that site

How can I get it so that I don't have Link1 appearing on my pic. What I mean is that on my horse image I don't want to have on the head of the horse the actualy word "head" appearing as hyperlink and that when you hover over it the explanation appears.

I would rather no word there, just the user hovers over the region of the head of the horse and magically the pop-up would appear. Otherwise all over my pic I going to have about a dozen hyperlink words (head, neck, legs, back...etc....)

Hi, you can replace the text with an image? if this is any help. if you can find an image of a little red dot or arrow or something similar, you can use the code below for an image. You could even place a small BV shape on the page & make it transparent so it cant be seen & use this as the text replacement. For the 2nd link, just right clik on the image & copy the BV gif code. IE: this one was (bv04601.gif)
Good luck.

<a href="#" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()"><img src="bv04601.gif" border="0"></a>

Nice to see this hover-over thing can be done fairly easily . . . just wanted to get this thread into my list of subscribed threads. Thanks.
