SVG Pop Up windows

[Victoria]

Hi everyone,

I would like to pop up a new window when the mouse over an icon,
but I don't like to link to another new page, as I will get the
details in the database and then I will add those details as the
text in the pop up window.

Does anyone know how to do this in svg? is it use the javascript?

Thanks!
Victoria

maybe something like this also works with icons?

<big id="tooltip1" title="*">*</a></big>
<script language="JavaScript">tooltip1.title = "this is the new popup text
"</script>

Not in SVG... Maybe in 1.2 but then it would be the title element
child, since title is not a valid attribute...

Jim.
