| Is thier some sort of code for asp or ccs2 that when you put your mouse on a word a little box on the side pop's up with information reguarding that link. For example if the link was .... roster....and you put your mouse over it al ittle box would come up saying .....here you can find information regaurding our clan members.......... I know you can do it with javascript with the on mouse over....but i hate javascript,,,,and im sticking to learn asp and vbscript....plus i cant get javascript to workinside of an asp page....Thankyou. |

| You can do it in HTML, the 'title' attribute of the IMG tag and the 'alt' attribute of the A tag. |

yeah, that was a slip up, actually I wanted to note that I personally use the title tag for both images and anchors. reason being is when an example like this occurs:
<img src="myImage.jpg" alt="Photo Of Me" title="Don't I Look Good!">
If my image does not load properly or is broken, a container will show the Photo Of Me but if I put my mouse over the image I will see Don't I Look Good. The title tag supresses the alt tag in a scenario like this.

Actually, the alternative text appearing as a tool tip is as a result of a glitch in Internet Explorer. Alternative text is only meant to be displayed if the image fails to load and is also used if your visitor is using a "screen reader". To ensure that a tooltip is displayed for an image in all browsers, you should use the title attribute. That's not to say you shouldn't use the alt attribute (in fact, it's a WAI requirement) as not doing so would leave your site unborwsable to the visually impaired, espacially if you use a lot of imagery.

| I think you're getting confused with all the languages, ASP isn't a language, it's a set of components that are implemented using server-side VBScript (which is a language). The above solutions, using 'title' are just HTML. |

considering most javascript is executed on the client side with a web browser, it would be a fair assumption that you are doing something wrong, not the code. perhaps show us some javascript code that is causing you problems. |

a glitch? hmm, never read that but neither here nor there, the post I made in this thread basically demonstrates that and explains why I would use title and alt in an <img> tag. |
