I use the title="" attribute in my "a href" tags to provide a mouse over description of links. The descriptions show when moused over, but disappear after about 3 seconds. Is this a client side configuration, or can I program my page to have the popup remain as long as the mouse pointer is over the link? -Ryan Adams Free Computer Tips and more:http://RyanTAdams.com Paid Tech Support: Black Diamond

Have you tried using alt="" ? If that doesnt work, I'm pretty sure it's a client side setting where the browser controls the duration. Another way of doing this would be to popup a floating DIV using javascript when the mouse is over the link or object you want to display info on.

The alt="" attribute is only used for images. Due to the complexity of the page, JavaScript and/or CSS is no possible. Any other ideas for allowing the tooltip to remain indefinitely? -Ryan Adams Free Computer Tips and more:http://RyanTAdams.com Paid Tech Support: Black Diamond

The tooltip is controlled by the browser - there's no method to alter it's behavior from browser to browser. If the page is so complex why would a JS/CSS solution be out of the question? The only time a JS solution would be out of the question would be for pages that are NOT complex which are meant to work with non JS enabled browsers. Michael J

I'm trying to get popup message previews working on phpBB v3 message board. I should have said that implementing a JavaScript or CSS solution was to complex for me. IF you are curious, I am currently using this mod to provide mouse over previews: http://www.phpbb.com/mods/db/index.... I've managed to get some CSS to work, but my limited CSS ability results in the CSS "tool tip" getting stuck in the row which contains the message title. I've been unable to get it to overlay everything on the page as the title="" tooltips do. -Ryan Adams Free Computer Tips and more:http://RyanTAdams.com Paid Tech Support: Black Diamond
