Making Text appear "onClick"

[biff198]

So, here is what I want to do.

Say I have a small image (100x100). I want to be able to click on the image,
and have a few words of text appear near it. Then, click on the image again,
and have a few more words appear near that. Finally, on clicking it again,
have both sets of text disappear. I have been looking all over trying to find
how to do this, but many places offer examples that are close, but not exactly,
what I want. I don't know enough programming of this sort to edit it well, and
the places that give examples rarely inform on how to change it the way you
want. Can someone please help? Thanks.

You mean "tooltip"
Trustme...half of the people that comes in this forum always ask for this
And those Newsgroup are sick of it, so any suker asking for this won't get any
help

I email, how to improve, by saying, there should be a update patch so it auto
installs: the way to do a tooltip in the Dreamweaver

The best way you could get this would be from the use of some custom
javascript.

Clicking on an image and displaying text next to it is not at all difficult;
you can use show/hide layer, or set text of layer, or swap class, or any of
a number of different techniques, to get that.

Clicking on an image, getting text, then clicking on it again, getting more
text, and finally clicking on it a third time, and getting yet more text
would be much more difficult.

A brute force method would be to have three duplicates of the image, each in
a layer, and all superimposed. Make two of the layers hidden and the third
visible. Click once on the image, reveal the text, *and* hide that image's
layer while simultaneously showing the next image in the stack's layer will
set you up for the next events. A new image with a new set of links has
been revealed by this. Clicking on that image will reveal a new chunk of
text, and will again hide this image's layer, and reveal the next image's
layer.

The last step would be left up to the reader....
