Java code for 'ToolTip'

[slinky]

I saw a cool feature on a website recently where OnMouseOver on a
'Topic Name' in a Topic Forum would pop-up a, for lack of a better
word, ToolTip like I am used to seeing in MS-Access. Although this pop-
up (not a new IE Window) would have room for previewing several lines
of the topic's text before one would decide to open the Topic in full.
Any clues how to do this. I'm using MS Visual Web Developer Express,
VB, ASP.net, but I do have some embedded Java script that works fine
on my .aspx pages.

Thanks!!

Java is a completely different language from Javascript.
See para 3 of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript

I'd try posting the question to comp.lang.javascript.
