Stuart,

You have correctly put an ALT tag in the IMG tag. You will also need to put a title tag in the <a href .....> This will give you the little box that you want.

You may also prefer to add the words in the same way that you have for Home so that users can see what they are going to go to before they hover over?

Hope that helps

You will need to add text under the icons as you have started to do, otherwise working out what they mean could result in brain strain!

I am having a spot of bother with that bit!

Whats supposed to happen is when a cursor is placed on one of the icons a small 
text box should open stating what the link is.

The problem is it only works properly in Internet Explorer. It works to a 
fashion in Opera but displays the full http path rather
than the link text.

It does not work at all in Firefox and Flock. I haven't tried with Konqueror 
yet.

The word "Home" that is seen under the middle icon is actually a place marker 
and does not appear to be fully connected to the icon
activity. This seems to act as reference point as to where you are in the site 
as a result of clicking on one of the links. It only
seems to work with the second icon (news and events) which seems to generate a link to 
"index.php". However I cannot find any reference
to it in that file.

Below is the "links.php" script which controls the icon behaviour:

//here you can change the top links of the templates counting from left to 
right.
//millennium series templates by www.joomla-templates.com

$cool_link_1 = "index.php";   // your link
$text_link_1 = "Homepage";    // The Alt text on IE ( yellow tips )

$cool_link_2 = "index.php?option=content&task=section&id=1&Itemid=2";
$text_link_2 = "The News";

$cool_link_3 = "index.php?option=com_weblinks";
$text_link_3 = "The Weblinks";

$cool_link_4 = "index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=3";
$text_link_4 = "Contact Us";

$cool_link_5 = "#";
$text_link_5 = "EDIT THE FILE LINKS.PHP";

$cool_link_6 = "#";
$text_link_6 = "#";

$cool_link_7 = "#";
$text_link_7 = "#";

$cool_link_8 = "#";
$text_link_8 = "#";

$cool_link_9 = "index.php?option=content&task=section&id=2&Itemid=25";
$text_link_9 = "F.A.Q.";

Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

(If you need access to the site to resolve then e-mail me and we can arrange 
the necessary access)

That is really a much better template - I like it.  Well done

Hi All

I've dropped in a new template and fiddled with the content layout a
bit. Please take a look and feed back any comments/suggestions.
