Mouse Over Help Text

[petsounds]

First post here so go easy on me :)

I have some text fields on a JSP form, when the mouse rolls over these fields I would like to display some help text in a pop-up, not like an "alert" pop-up, maybe an "information bubble" - one that appears when the mouse is over the field and then disappears automatically, with the user not having to do anything...

Ideally, the help text should come from a property file...

Ive messed around with 'onMouseOver' event but cant get very far with it...

Any help is appreciated guys...

Thanks...

Thanks, I was going to use that but how do associate particular input fields with entries from a properties file?

<form>
<input type="text" alt="This is text">
</form>

I think this will work, i didn't test it yet...please try..
