I'm just beginning to delve into the world of javascript, so please be kind if the solution is obvious.

I have a vBulletin forum. In the sidebar on the forum home, I have placed text links to Amazon products. I would like to be able to alter the link so that when a user hovers/rollsover/mouseovers the text link, a thumbnail of the product appears near the cursor location. These images would be stored locally, not from Amazon. I've been Googling for a few days now and I can only find script that changes an existing image in some way or displays a textual "tooltip". The tooltip thing is kind of what I'm aiming for, but with an image rather than text.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for any reply.

look at my site, http://www.web-screenshots.com, and tell me if it's what you are looking for.
The preview script is derived from http://www.frequency-decoder.com/200...ink-preview-v2 and the pictures are coming real time from my service.

Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much. Just one thing - the frequency-decoder site mentions CSS edits ... is this done in CSS and not javascript? If so, that's really foreign territory for me, but I can give it a shot.

I'll investigate further. Thanks for the pointer, tripy!

If you really want javascript, it can be done too.

Thanks so much for your pointers, folks. I ended up going with a different solution, but the pointers sure helped a bunch.
