How to make a javascript label when you mouse over on a link

dramaking

I wanna make my own description label using javascript.
usually, in HTML, we can do like this...
<a href="http://...link" title="description label">link</a>
so that when we mouseover the link, it will display description label in a label around the mouse... However, it can't show a large description... that's why I wanna make my own label which can show more details...

here is the example which I saw in website...

when you mouse over the "uploading" "photos" and "website"(which are highlighted and underlined into green color), it will have a nice and big description box... and that's a kind of what I wanna create in javascript!
THank you!

I tried viewing the link in both IE7 and Netscape 7.1 but i couldn't see what you are trying to show.

Anyways, I think i understand what you want. Yes, it can be achieved by JavaScript. You only have to call a javascript function onMouseOver which creates a div tag(with the message you want) and then displays it at the mouse co-ordinates. This div can be hidden onMouseOut.

There might also be better methods of doing it.

Hope this helps.
