I am really having trouble (as my name suggests) with making a code that will display an image when i mouseover another image. I want this new image to be displayed like a title attribute.

Any thoughts?

Hi

Do you just want text to increase in size or have a picture attached? Little unsure as you say you want it to display like a title attribute?

The text, text-color, background-color (and background picture) can be altered on mouseover using CSS

but if you want anything more than that I belive javascript would be needed.

I'm also not really sure what you want to do, but I've created a lot of image rollovers using the so called "sliding doors" method - you can see what I did here: www.jessweiss.com/webdesign.html. Basically, you create an image with two halves and have it switch to the opposite half when you rollover. If you google "sliding doors" and css, you will find a ton of information. Hope that helps.

You can do the same for three images (well, 1 image with 3 parts to it), you can change the image to align left, middle or right in the div so you can have normal, rollover and active.

I did use it a couple of years ago - you can see it here:

Hover your mouse over the names

- they loved it.. the same effect is on the main menu

I apologize for my lack of clarity so i have found an example, if you hover over one of the images, a decorated alt tab will appear and this is exactly what i am looking for (and yes i have already tried getting the code from the source, didnt work

)http://www.addictinggames.com/index.html

I gave you a solution, it can easily be adapted to do exactly what you referred to. You're just going to have to do some WORK to implement it.
