Thread: Adding a pop up box

I think this might be in the tutorials because I remember seeing this somewhere but I checked and I could find the answer.
Is there any way to add a symbol that when the mouse courser hovers above it - it opens a box that explain what is written next to it ?

sort of a "what is this ?" question mark that you see in a lot of websites.

Thanks.

Can use this script in a html box LINK

great link.
But what HTML code should I use if I just want the pop up box without it linking when you press on it. I'm not very familiar with HTML so if you can just write the script that would be great.

Hi, follow the script a instructed & use the code below to suite the html box on the front of your page..

With a link

<a href="http://www.collectors-info.com" class="hintanchor" onMouseover="showhint('Your hint text here..', this, event, '250px')">[?]</a><br />

Without a link

<a href="#" class="hintanchor" onMouseover="showhint('Your hint text here.', this, event, '150px')">[?]</a>

I already have it written with a "#" but still when I click it it sends me to the top of the page. Isn't there any way that it won't do anything ?

Hi, strange! try...
<a href="#nogo" class="hintanchor" onMouseover="showhint('Your hint text here.', this, event, '150px')">[?]</a>

Excellent! It worked.
Thanks.
