How can I make a pop up bubble with a shadow appear when I hover over something.  I am trying to use spry tool tip but I can't change the shape.  Grrr. Thanks!

    Spry has been deprecated and is no longer officially supported by Adobe - http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framew ork-availability.html

     

    And for your requirement, there are tons of jQuery plug-ins that can do the trick - they're all tried & tested to be cross-browser compatible. They can give much better visual appeal as well.

     

    One of those is - http://code.drewwilson.com/entry/tiptip-jquery-plugin

     

    If you want to learn how to code one, there's a great tutorial here - http://jqueryfordesigners.com/coda-popup-bubbles/ - this tutorial showcases the tooltip used on http://www.panic.com/coda

     

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the help.  However, now I have to learn javascript as well as

    Jquery?! Sheesh.  Ok, though.  After taking some basic tutorials on these

    scripting languages I have tried to install my first Jquery Plugin for a

    tooltip from http://calebjacob.com/tooltipster/.  I have successfully

    linked the two needed css and js files into my site, added jquery from

    google to my site, and added the correct script and links.  The plugin

    still doesn't work and when I edit the css or js files associated with this

    plugin no changes happen to the webpage.  In fact, I can delete them if I

    wanted to and nothing would happen.  What do you think the problem is?!

    Nvm, somehow it's working.  I figured it must be something up with the

    class name and function statement.  I don't know what I did but I'm not

    asking any questions haha.  Thanks.

    Are you asking us to guess what you've done with your code?

    Please upload your project file(s) to a server and post a link here.

    We'll be glad to help.
