I was wondering, how you would make it so that if you were to hover over a link, it would show it a little bordered box some text, like a description right over it when you hover over it.
@ZeroKilledMay 09.2008 — #html allow you to set a tooltip for every element. the attribute is [b]title[/b]: [code=html] <a ... title='description here'>link</a>[/code] however, this feature isn't customizable. you can build a js code to do 'tooltip', but in reality isn't a tooltip, they are html element positioned over the link and dynamically displayed with the aid of javascript. can't point you to a sample because never had done one.
also, for semantic purpose, i prefer to use the [b]title[/b] attribute no matter if it isn't customizable. also, be aware that the [b]title[/b] attribute work even if javascript is disabled. as i had said before, it is an html feature. you make the choice.
@ZeroKilledMay 10.2008 — #sorry, can't help with that. i mean, i had never seen a solution for that. maybe is a browser setting or a html standard that only allow a maximun number of characters. don't know. in this case, maybe you are more interested on javascript tooltip.
