a short time ago someone posted the code for a pop up box when the cursor hovered over a text link - same as for an image.

had a search and can't find, can anyone remember where or what it was.

Cheers

>> pop up box

Technically, if I understand you correctly, that is a tool-tip. Popups are brand new browser windows.

>> he cursor hovered over a text link

Like this :

[a href="www.example.com" title="tooltip text here"]Anchor text here[/a] (replace [ with < to produce actual HTML)

This would cause "tooltip text here" to appear on hovering over the link

<technical pedantry> >> same as for an image.

Actually, this is a misimplementation of the RFC in Explorer. Browsers SHOULD show the content of the title attribute on mouseover, not the alt attribute in the case of the IMG element. This is because the title attribute may be applied to many elements, whereas alt is IMG specific. Also, note that the title attribute is NOT the same as the < title > element. Confused yet? </technical pedantry>

It could have been Overlib either - http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/
