Rollover Text

[itheperson]

I have a page with a list of links. When a link is rolled over, i need a description to appear somewhere on the page. I used the textfield method, but i need to have a link in that text.

Thanks.

Is this what you are looking for?
<a href="wherever.htm" onmouseover="document.all.test.innerHTML='This is the description'" onmouseout="document.all.test.innerHTML=''">the link</a>
<div id="test"></div>

yea thats cool man, thanks. However, if i want a link href to change too (im generating the list thru php and mysql) how can i change the href address?

I tried this, but it doesnt work :/

onmouseover= "document.all.link.href='address.html';"

then...

<div id="test"></div> <a href="" name="link">More info.</a>

Thanks again!

Is this what you want?<a href="wherever.htm" onmouseover="document.all.test.innerHTML='This is the description'; document.all.the_link.href='test.htm'" onmouseout="document.all.test.innerHTML='&nbsp;'">the link</a>
<div id="test">&nbsp;</div>
<a href="" id="the_link">changeing link</a>

The link i have for the rollover is a javascript popup window.

<A HREF="javascript:void(0)" ONCLICK="open('list.php?p=<? print("$id"); ?>','product','toolbar=1,location=0,directories=0,status=1,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=64 0,height=430')" onmouseover = "document.all.test.innerHTML='This is the description'; document.all.test2.innerHTML='This is the description2'; document.all.link.href='************';" title="Click for more information."><? print("$title"); ?></a>

What i need is where those stars are, i need the the same link as it is in already (

"javascript:void(0)" ONCLICK="open('list.php?p=<? print("$id"); ?>','product','toolbar=1,location=0,directories=0,status=1,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=64 0,height=430')"

)

But how can i arrange it so i can get that into the description but not chuck out errors?

This is getting a lil complicated eh :confused:

Ah well thanks anyways :cool:

To be totally honest, that was a bit confusing. ;) But you can try this and let me know if I'm on the right track. :)

<A HREF="java script:void(0)" ONCLICK="open('list.php?p=<? print("$id"); ?> ','product','toolbar=1,location=0,directories=0,status=1,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=64 0,height=430')" onmouseover = "document.all.test.innerHTML='This is the description'; document.all.test2.innerHTML='This is the description2'; document.all.link.href=this.href;" title="Click for more information."><? print("$title"); ?></a>

I'm not sure, but you might also want to try switching this:

document.all.link.href=this.href;

to this:

document.all.link.onclick=this.onclick;

Let me know if I got close that time. ;)
