Javascript mouseover text bubble?

[Tony]

The onClick mouseover alerts would do the job, the only problem is,
you have to click "ok" on every pop-up text box. Is there any other equally
simple way to accomplish this without a lot of javascript code?

I've looked through the many javascript sites but when I encounter
popup mouseover text bubbles, they usually come at the expense of a
lot of code. The nice thing about the alerts boxes is they're quite lean
and simple, the two drawbacks are having to click OK, and, for a text bubble
mouseover usage, the "Ok" which appears in the pop-up box is superfluous.

How about using title attribute?
If that is not enough, see the tooltip code on my site.

That's just the thing I was looking for.

If that is not enough, see the tooltip code on my site.

Those may come in handy some time too!

Thanks,

This one is easy to customize.
Very well documented so all you have to do is follow the examples and get
what you want.
each mouse over can be different.

The others I've looked at are complicated to make changes with.
