Without even messing around with JS, let alone AJAX or other stuff that involves trips to the server for more data, you can give tooltips to links and images with plain HTML: <a href="link URL here" title="tooltip text here">link text here</a> <img src="image URL here" alt="tooltip text here"> In text-mode browsers, if anyone still uses such things, the images will additionally show as their tooltip texts rather than just the opaque and useless placeholder text "[IMAGE]". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
