how to get a descriptive rollover

Freeway
1

I am sure this has been asked a 100 times but how do I get a descriptive rollover like the buttons in this forum? For instance roll over a photograph and a caption pops up with a description. Is the only way to do this slave images? I would quite like to get it working with EE content, but one step at a time.

thank you

There is an option in FW for Alt Text

With a graphic on the page selected look in the Graphic Inspector - 3rd tab along (Item Output Settings) and you will see a check box to enable Alt Text. FW helpfully puts in the item name for you but you can change it to anything you want.

This is what IE viewers will see when they are browsing your site.

You can also use ToolTips to show a floating description of a link by adding the description in the Title section of the Edit>Hyperlink dialogue.

Have a look at OverLib http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/

There are many similar scripts out there - this is just one.

It can also be done with CSS
