Hi, Dear everyone: I have a question for you. I am just wondering if it is possible to pop up a message(just like in MS products) displaying some instruction when a cursor moves on a link (in a web page) but such message will be automatically gone if the cursor moves away. I appreciate it very much for any kind of help. Have a nice weekend. Yongping [This message has been edited by Yongping Wang (edited August 03, 2001).]

The HTML 4.01 specification suggests using the "title" attribute in the link: <a href="http://www.ibm.com" title="Big Blue">IBM</a> This works in Internet Explorer 5.5: if you move the mouse over the link and stop, it displays the title text in a popup. Netscape 4.75 doesn't appear to do anything with it. ------------------ Phil Hanna Sun Certified Programmer for the Java 2 Platform Author of : JSP: The Complete Reference Instant Java Servlets

Try doing a popup in JavaScript. I have something nice that way that I lifted from someone else's site. Go to http://www.mousetech.com and mouse over the operating system names.
Customer surveys are for companies who didn't pay proper attention to begin with.
