i need to make a small text box with information on a object, for a website that i am doing and i thought of using the onmouseover command to do that so that when they moused over the object the little window would pop up. the only problem is that i don't know what goes after the

<span onmouseover="".....> i just want to put a small text box with information on that object

if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated

you have to write a function that will display a floating div at the mouse position, such as This One


Or you could just use the title attribute on the element.

I don't recommend inline event handling.
