Here's the deal...

When I drag my mouse over the banner ads, a small text box pops up.

How do I assign that attribute to an image on a website? I'm using Dreamweaver3 and it seems like it should be a piece of cake, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Audi content: I want to incorporate this into an Audi site I'm working on. See the link for a sneak peek.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tdlracing.com">TDL Racing</a></li></ul>

if it's a new window, the url should be the location of the image. If it's an alert, it cannot be done.

It's definitely not a popup window.

Go to the banner ad at the top of the page. Put your mouse on the ad & leave it there...VOILA! Text! Now how do I do that?

you'd have to use layers.

In the image tag, you can assign text that will appear when you hold the mouse over it.

&lt;!-- &lt;img src="whatever.jpg" alt="This text will show up"&gt; --&gt;

ALT="HPA Motors Banner Ads" ???

I don't know about in Dreamweaver, but the HTML way is to do something like:

&lt;IMG SRC="audi.jpg" ALT="This is an Audi"&gt;

The text, "This is an Audi." will appear when you move your mouse over the image and leave it there for a second. Note: This only works on IE, not Netscape. Hope this helps.

if you want pics popping out youre going to use DHTML

Their use is limited for us, they are a text description of the image, for 3 things:

1. Images that aren't loading properly
2. people that choose to stop loading pages before all the images all load
3. Computers set up for blind people actually read the image tag and create a sound byte based on it (so I'm told)

Heres one of our image tags....you'll see where it says alt="bla bla"....thats where you put the text you want in the image tag.

<img src="../../images/logo_leader.gif" border="0" alt="Bally Total Fitness">

What you are trying to do is what we call a mouse-over. We use Javascript here, but I am a newbie, therefore I suck really bad at Javascript. I fear Javascript. I'm trying to learn more VB script, then I'll overcome that fear.

This probably doesn't help, but hopefully theres a Javascript guru on the board.

I'm a dumbass and I need to go home.....soon
