This functionality is already provided (and even supported in IE4) through HTML 4.0's TITLE attribute. The only thing not possible today is the setting of a background colour and other presentational details for the pop-up, but style sheets are a better place to solve this problem. ><def > underline="dashed" > bgcolor="yellow" > action="click" > content="A new medium for exchanging information"> > The Internet ></def> > is an oversized ad. <span title="A new medium for exchanging information">The Internet</span> is an oversized ad. With TITLE, the user does not need to click on the text. -- Liam Quinn Web Design Group Enhanced Designs, Web Site Development http://www.htmlhelp.com/ http://enhanced-designs.com/
