hi all
need some help, what i want to know is how do i have a link that when some one roles over it a image shows up.

is there a java script that does this or better still is there a way of doing it with out useing java thanks from patrick

hope you all know what i meen thanks

Here's a great example of what css can do without any javascript.

Assuming you have the rollover image in an images folder on your server, and a link named roller, try this css:

#roller a {
background: url(images/image1.gif) no-repeat top center;
}

#roller a:hover {
background: url(images/image2.gif) no-repeat top center;
}


HTH

hi thanks for that but what it is am after is the image to show up separately like if you role over an image and you text shows up saying what it is.

i want this to happen on links but not text showing up i want it to be an image thanks hope you know what i mean

Are you saying you want an image to appear somewhere else on the page when you hover over a link ??
If that is the case, it can be done with CSS:

i want the image to float / aprear just nere the pointer as i role over it

K, then the link I gave you will tell you how to do that. You can position the image to come up wherever you like.

ok thanks for that

hi that link doestn show you how to put a differnt image some were its just text pluss you cant put it were you wasnt it

http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo2.html this one does images but how do you have the image show up some were els

Add a style tag to the image with:

position: absolute;
left: ***px;
top: ***px;

It's pretty clear you're in over your head if you can't figure out how to change the values to move the image. I suggest some study at www. w3schools.com.
