Has anyone seen a mod that highlights keywords and pops-up a tooltip when hovering over?
eg

David, I guess you're experiencing the Microsoft Smart Tags, because I don't see any tooltips.

Interesting article on that subject: http://www.winnetmag.com/Windows/Article/ArticleID/26371/26371.html

However, I will try and work out a function for this...seems easy to create ALT tags or something.

Just an idea:
It would work with something like this ;
"...we've got Snitz, and its...."
Now we want the word Snitz to be Tooltipped with the text "The Best Forum Around".
The HTML code for this would be
"...we've got <a id="tt" title="The Best Forum Around">Snitz</a id="tt">, and its...."
So, if we would use the URL="" /URL function for this it would be something like [ALT="The Best Forum Around"]Snitz[/ALT]
We'd need to check the ALT text for illegal characters (clean it up), but I guess it would work!

Found it, http://vibrantmedia.com/site/products_01.html
It done using javascript, view the source of the forum above, the code is at the bottom. It would be a nice mod to have, i'll look at the code and see how easy it would be to "adapt".

David, the TITLE function works also! No need for a Java script!

I am trying to figure it out, but I'm stranding...^&@* REPLACE functions...I always mess them up...

TITLE is okay for static text but the example above has formatting and links in the tooltip.

Could use http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/ for it
