Custom shaped tooltip with page inside - Where is the script ?

[pamelafluente]

Hi
I have seen on some web pages a nice type of tooltip.

See for instance http://www.programurl.com/software/tooltip.htm
and mouse over on Javascript (first box left).

Can anyone point me or provide the script to realize this kind of
tooltip, which I like.

Thank you,

Pam

Hmmm... This looks like a custom script by the adverts provider. It doesn't
really do much more apart from showing a hiding a box:

foo.display='';
foo.display='none';

Anyway, I guess you'll love overLIB, a World Wide Web classic:

Do you mean that's not a "real" tooltip ?
I also found
http://www.texsoft.it/index.php?c=software& m=sw.js.htmltooltip&l=it
instrunction to do a tooltip. But...

But i find a little boring that rectangular shape.

Could anyone show how could I replicate the first type of tooltip (the
one on http://www.programurl.com/software/tooltip.htm). I do not know
much about javascript, just use some common sense and cut and paste.

I would like to be able to put it on my page.

From a user viepoint (like I am) the first tooltip is quite of impact

(even though a programmer can find it too "easy" to do ).

"Real" tooltips are generated by client software and their shape or colour
are defined by the GUI library the program is using. The page you mention
uses plain old HTML.

As I said, it's pure HTML. JavaScript merely moves the box around the page
and shows/hides it. Create a box with the desired design and that's all. As
for having non-rectangular shapes with transparency, the only portable
trick is using GIF files with a transparent colour.
