Hi,

Is there a simple way of achieving this effect which I'm sure most of you who are on facebook are familiar with.

What I want to do is when someone hovers over a picture, I want to have a box pop up to the top of it, and in this box I can display external information about that information.

Anyone done this kind of thing before or know how to do it?

long time since I had to do that, you may want to search for the onHover event in javascript. if by triggering that (instead of onClick) should work.

A whole bunch of jQuery tooltip plugins is available.

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you for that to both of you. Now that I know they're called "tooltips", I'll definitely look into it.
