Ok I searched here on how to make pop-ups, I am teaching myself css and html. Like I want to know everything (at least almost all of it). And I found how to make a pop up to a text link. The problem is it works in Firefox, but when you click on the text links in IE it just does nothing.

the code is
Wildlife Conflict Resolution

Can anyone tell me what I might of did wrong, or what might work in IE. I tried javascript but IE wont just load it, it warns about activex content. I just want a pop up with the information, with no toolbars or status bar. If you can help, Thanks.

The code you have above works fine in IE. I think there's some confusion here. You say that the above link does not do anything in IE, then you say that you tried JavaScript and it gave you a warning message. That link above is using JavaScript!

I think the problem you are having is actually a non-issue. When you have a localHTML file on your computer with JavaScript, you will get the warning message - but it is only when you run it from your local machine. If you upload the file to your webspace and open it throught he web, you will not get that message. You probably got that message from an earlier attempt and then somehow diabled the warning bar - which would explain why you don't see anything now.

What kind of Pop Up message are you trying to acomplish? Not a simple ALT tag? which pops up for like 5 seconds, and then disapears?.. I.E....
< img src="YOURimage.gif" border="" Alt="Text you want to Apear on Rollover">

Also works for text. Is that the popup your talking about?
