This may be overkill but I often use popups for this. I like the control I
have over the content and the ability to include graphics.
<HEAD ....
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var oPopup = window.createPopup();
var TipsDisabled=0;
function richToolTip(fld,wideness, leftoffset) {
var lefter = 0;
TipsDisabled = top.Get_TipStatus();
if (TipsDisabled==0) {
if (leftoffset==-1) { lefter = window.event.screenX - (wideness *
1.4); }
else if (leftoffset == 2) { lefter = window.event.screenX - 140; }
else {lefter = window.event.screenX - wideness; }
var topper = window.event.screenY -140;
oPopup.document.body.innerHTML = fld.innerHTML;
var popupBody = oPopup.document.body;
oPopup.show(0, 0, wideness, 0);
var tallness = popupBody.scrollHeight;
oPopup.hide();
oPopup.show(lefter, topper, wideness, tallness, window.document.body); }
}
function ContextHelp(iContext) {
var sType = document.frmMain.hdnSchType.value;
var bResult = 0;
bResult = top.GlobalContextHelp(iContext, sType);
