Show image description.

[tiger2808]

Have a client who would like the name of the image to show up when you mouse
over it.

But not a rollover action.

I've seen this a handful of places - even forums - where you roll over the
title of the forum and a description appears in your broswer next to your mouse.

I've never use this type of thing - and searches on "image", "image title",
"image description" - and other to no avail...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

For an image:
<img src="your pic.jpg" alt="Name of Image" width="100%" border="0">

For a hypertext
<a href="myHyperlink.html" title="Name of File or Description" target="_blank">myHyperlink</a>

Actually, you would want to use the title attribute for both, since only IE
shows the alt tag as a tool tip (incorrectly).

I did do that Murray, thanks for the tip though.

What I'd like is beyond these two procedures. Maybe it's java - I don't really
know - but I swear I've seen image that whe yuo roll over them a description
appears over the image. Not flash and not a traditional rollover.

And it is multiple-lines. (Like a 4 line description) - I know some forums can
do this - but I think you can do it to images too.

Also - the above procedure doesn't work in Safari - or atleast I can't get it too. Firefow, it will, but then it truncates the sentence.

Javascript, not Java. They are different as night and day....

Google "overlib" and use that.....
