browser compatibility

[eraguet]

hi,

I am looking for a description of all the test you have to do on browser to see witch one it is, and then the diference of code between them to write something.
My aim is to have a word definition whitch is displayed when it is onMouseOver (and on every browser).

Thanks

It cannot be done with JavaScript as 13% of users do not use JavaScript. Try instead:

<span title="That is to say." lang="la">Id est</span>

I believe what you are referring to are called tooltips. Here is a link to a site that has an excellent script that I believe works with most if not all browsers:
http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/

He has different variations that are quite good.

He has different variations that are quite good. But those methods will fail 13% of the time. The method I propose will work all but a very few very old browsers. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#adef-title.
