Looking for a little love in Vodaland

[seahorse]

Hello everyone,
I'm Seahorse. Brand new and already stuck. I'm building my site and now I need to have tooltip text or graphic box appear when I mouse over text or links on page. Can anyone help a babe in the woods? LadyEye suggested I ask how to "add other elements". If you have time share a trick or two please.........
Thank you much,
Seahorse

Well that's better than looking for love in all the wrong places!
(just a little joke!)

One way to do it would be to but a shape behind the text you want to have the tool-tip pop up. Make the shape cover just enough area for the text, set it to transparent, double click the shape and add the "tool tip" as alternate text. If it not a link then it doesnt matter if it is in front of the text or behind it. There is probably some way to do code wise but this is the way I've done it in the past.

Sunchaser - great name!
I love that balloon thing. I tried to put the code in the html of my page but it doesn't seem to work.
If you can shed light on that I thank you. I thank you anyway for your kindness.
