I would like to create an effect where, when the user moves their mouse over a certain object in the current webpage, a popup opens which displays some variable content, e.g. a URL, and the popup automatically closes when they move the mouse off the object. I think I can code this (rather crudely) with CSS if the source of the popup content is part of the page, but I need the content to be obtained from a remote URL.
The effect I am looking for may be seen if you have software like McAfee's SiteAdvisor installed - search for something in Google (say) and every result has a small icon attached (e.g. a green tick, or a red cross). Mouse over the icon and a McAfee SiteAdvisor popup appears; and it disappears when you mouse away. Has anyone investigated how to code this effect, and maybe even succeeded with it? I guess it will probably involve some Javascript as well as CSS, and thus may be beyond scope for this list. But I hope that one of you can point me in the right general direction for it. A very happy holiday season to you all Cheers T Trevor Nicholls Casting the Void ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
