What is this? Java Script? DHTML?

[7Words]

I've been searching for this particular script. Having a hard time finding it. I've seen them on some websites before but forgot which ones.

i dont know how to explain this, but here goes.
it's this separate window that pops up when your mouse goes over a certain link/text and it display a description in a little window.

another script that is kinda hard to find.
i can find the code for drop down menus. no the regular ones, it's more advance where the mouse goes over the link and it rolls down with other sub links.

anyone know??

i know somebody posted it b4, but i cant find the post.

thx

If you mean the "helpful tips" that show up when you mouse over a link such as the one that says "next newest topic" at the upper right corner of this page it is just an "acronym" used in the html. To find out things like this many times if you just look at the source of the page you will see the raw coding. (just right click on the web page and chose "view source"

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ has a DHTML script the drop menu you described.

This is probably not what you're talking about with the menu...but

If it's the one on my homepage (http://members.cnx.net/reboot/) then it's available at Dynamicdrive.

Hey thx Demonknight and Comtech, that was exactly what i was looking for!

BTW about that script, Demonknioght, how do you open up a link to a different frame in java script?
i know its target="ex" in HTML, but how do you do that in java/dhtml?

can't you still use the Alt="text" in the img tag, to generate the little yellar pop-up help, for images anyway....
