rollover labesl in html???

[Brian]

I have in the past seen little rollover labels on on images in html,
similar to what people do in flash. What I am talking about are little
labels that for example appear when you roll over an image. How is that
done? DHTML, CSS, XML??? Could anyone point me in the right direction?


Thanks a bunch!
Brian

I was looking for a script to show the title in the browser when viewing
the page whe the mouse is over the image.

Thanks,

I think he actually just needs to use the alt property, either that or a
fancier JavaScript tooltip type thing.

[Murray *TMM*]

But the alt attribute is NOT a tooltip and is only erroneously shown in IE.
The title attribute, as I showed is exactly what he/she is looking for, and
will be displayed cross-browser/platform.

I just tried that and that is not what I was looking for. What I wanted
to do, is called a hoover caption in Flash, not sure what it is called
in html. Something that will display when the mouse is hovering over the
image. Like a on rollover, but hovering with the mouse tip.

I am assuming it would be javascript or something of that nature.

Thanks for the continuous help!!!

It is the title attribute.

Create a new page in DW.

Insert an image from the current site.

Select the image and press Ctrl-T to get the QuickTagEditor. Click right
before the ">" and enter -

title="This describes the image"

and press return.

Preview. There you have it.

Thanks for the help. I put the tag in there but I can't see it. I am on
a mac, could that be the problem? I am previewing it in IE and Safari
and both don't show it.

Thanks,
Brian

Go here -

Hover over the central image montage. Do you see a title appear. That's
what you want, I think.

Ok, my bad!!! So sorry.
For some reason there is a delay of a bit before it shows and I must
have been so anxious that I never saw it. Yes, that is what I wanted.
And easy to do also.

Thank you so much, sorry for the confusion.
Brian

[Murray *TMM*]

You're welcome! Yes, there is a slight delay. And, there is a timer on the
visibility, too. But it's a great way to sneak SE pregnant keywords and
phrases into the content.
