    Creating Popups When Hovering

    andrewmcgibbon Community Member
      Does anyone have any suggestions for adding a popup text box when you hover over a specific piece of text? Is there anything inherent in Dreamweaver CS3 that would allow me to do that? Any add-ons anyone can recommend?

          Use the title <span title="it looks like this">attribute</span>.

          Or get Boxover - http://boxover.swazz.org

            I'm sorry, I'm not understanding what that first line means?

              can you use this technique for images? if not, is there a similar one?

                Put the title directly in the image tag? But sure, boxover works for
                images.

                  It gives you an example of how to do what you asked for, at least to the
                  extent that you described it.

                  Use the title <span title="it looks like this">attribute</span>

                  Put that code on your page, and hover over the word "attribute".
