Hey everyone,
I am working on a project and I have a bunch of images and I need it so when you mouse over on an image information on the particular image will show up on the same page (like to the left in a box). I am not sure what to use, I think java is the way to go but am not sure what to look for. Please let me know if I am not explaining this very well. Thanks in advance for the help.

What you're describing is relatively easy to do with JavaScript (not Java). Here's an example:

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
  <script language="javascript">
    function showMsg(msg)
    {
	  display = document.getElementById("display");
	  display.innerHTML = msg;	
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body>

  <img src="image.jpg" onmouseover="showMsg('Hi, you\'ve just moused over me.')" />

  <div id="display"></div>

</body>
</html>

Javascript code in the page.
