Question for all of the HTML aces out there (Audi related)...
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>

Huh? Then why do all of the banner ads at the top of this forum have it?...
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?

Sounds like your talking about the ALT tag...
In the image tag, you can assign text that will appear when you hold the mouse over it.
<!-- <img src="whatever.jpg" alt="This text will show up"> -->
<!-- <img src="whatever.jpg" alt="This text will show up"> -->

I think you're referring to the ALT tag.
I don't know about in Dreamweaver, but the HTML way is to do something like:
<IMG SRC="audi.jpg" ALT="This is an Audi">
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.

Those are what we call "Alt Tags"
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.
