Thread: Text displayed when you mouse over images?

Hi,

Okay, so here's what I'm attempting. I am building a "contact members" page, and I have a background image with a bunch of houses on it. What I would like to do is have each house equipped with emails and other contact information for a certain member so that when you mouse over it, the information pops up. Is there any way to do this?

mistake???.lol

click right on image > click properties > Alternate Text .......................

Ok, but when you do that... you get one person's information for any part of the picture you look at. I want to target one specific area of the image for each person... is that possible?

demuredawn,
You could place as many transparent shapes over your picture as needed and add the various peoples details in the shape's 'alt text' or you could add something along the lines of "Click here to view Andrew's Contact Details" in the alt text and then make use of the new 'popup feature' in BV10 and then let the 'link popup window' display "Andrew's" contact details.

Cheers,

Thanks for the idea, Play. I think I figured out how to make it look like I want. What I'm doing is cropping out a specific area of the original image, saving it to the pc, and then uploading it into photobucket. I then go under "insert-extra-rollover image" and place the direct link into the image fields for both original and rollover. Then I click over to link and enter in the url type "mailto" and enter the email address. After this, I insert a text field, and use this so that everyone can see where a certain person's information will be. I then convert the text to an image. Seems to be working. Tedious though, lol.
