| After the pointers I received in this thread, I began developing my own "Tool Tip" JavaScript when I ran into a very nasty problem in Internet Explorer 5.5 and above. (short: Tool Tips will not cover up IE's drop-down listboxes).I had a day invested, and began a search for the IE drop-down coverup solution when I came accross what appears to be a pretty well developed tool-tip JavaScript by the name of "Overlib". Overlib has a support forum, regular daily posts, and has had many browser specific corrections. There are several 3rd party plug-ins which provide shaded drop-shadows, persistence, and more features than I want to mention here.If anyone is interested, here are the URLs:The Core Site3rd party plug-ins (good demos here)The forumIf anyone has a better alternative Tooltip than this, please let me know. I'm always looking for better solutions.Sam |

| I didn't know Microsoft offered both a "popup" object and a "tooltip" object. I have not used either but I did read the feature bullets on both pages. Adding the features of both together, they don't have the configurability of overlib, but the do support inclusion of Submit buttons, which Overlib does not support.I couldn't get Microsoft's Popup Demo to work in Firefox or Netscape.The Overlib demos are scattered among the plug-ins, but the CSS demos (scroll down the page to the demos) are interesting and are supported in Firefox, Netscape, Opera and IE. |

I've done something to this effect: http://overlib.boughner.us/plugins/fadeinout_commands.htmlReally nice, if only MS would start working on IE...do they ever plan to release a new major update as in redo :).In other news today, Mozilla's Firefox is being developed by a 19 year old who used to work for Netscape communications at 14!!! Is that even legal :)...read it on yahoo..amazing stuff: www.blakeross.com.Jon
