Mouseovers...

[raciviusdawn]

how do you make these different and not just the generic box...

for instance on images with Alt tags when you mouseover them it shows your Alt tag in a box...how would you change the box into something else like on this site http://www.rockstargames.com
if you mouseover the images they have like a quote box with the Alt tags.

and also, how do i make text and a link in a pop up box? like when users mouseover a link a message would pop up detailing that item and also providing a link to purchase that item...i tried in Dreamweaver but the pop up will only let me do text and not a url+text

Well for starters, that's Flash. Dunno how to do it in normal web pages, maybe there's some dHTML or summat that could do it? Or java.

[raciviusdawn]

yeah i know it's Flash but i was thinking the sameprinciples would apply..

what about the pop up message question of mine?

You could use layers.

that's cool Rico...any idea about changing what's in the Pop up message to texts/links

[Ricoool]

there is a place in the "head" script that writes:

[code:1:40b7099f2d]// tooltip content goes here (image, description, optional bgColor, optional textcolor)
var messages = new Array();
// multi-dimensional arrays containing:
// image and text for tooltip
// optional: bgColor and color to be sent to tooltip
messages[0] = new Array('red_balloon.gif','Here is a red balloon on a white background',"#FFFFFF");
messages[1] = new Array('duck2.gif','Here is a duck on a light blue background.',"#DDECFF");
messages[2] = new Array('test.gif','Test description','black','white');[/code:1:40b7099f2d]

just have to remove the images, unless you want images, and then write the text you want
