onMouseOver="myHint.show(8)"

the box pops up showing error message, has any one used this script. and solved the problem.

script can be found on

Without seeing your code I'd have to say that you have typed my Hint.show(8) instead of myHint.show(8).

At a guess you have not created hints.js and/or hints_cfg.js corectly or you have not included them correctly into the head of your document.

A url for the problem page would help us to help you.

Regards,

Dai

Carmen,

Do you have files called hints.js and hints_cfg.js in the same directory as this page? If not then that is your problem.

The page on internet.com you point to is actually quite misleading as it give the impression that all you need to do is cut and paste the code into your page, but in fact you need (at least) two other files containing the javscript to make this work. I suggest you visit the originator of the code softcomplex.com and see if there is a clearer explanation there of how it all works and where to get the required files.

Not your fault, like I say it is badly presented at internet.com ;)
