Hello everyone

I will try and explain this simply!!!!

I have a gallary of pictures on a page. when i hover over a picture i have set the alt text to be description…..thats fine

but.. i dont want to use the alt text. I want to hover over the picture and somewhere else on a page it displays the description, this could be text or an image.

so every picture when hovered over will show the description in the same place.

I hope someone can help

Regards

Melvyn

[CODE]
<script type="text/javascript">
function showDescription(text){
document.getElementById('information').innerHTML = text;
}

function clearDescription(){
document.getElementById('information').innerHTML = '';
}
</script>
<img src="/img1.jpg" onmouseover="showDescription('This is the text for the description, it can be whatever.')" onmouseout="clearDescription();"/>

<img src="/img2.jpg" onmouseover="showDescription('This is another description, it can also be whatever.')" onmouseout="clearDescription();"/>

<div id="information"></div>
[/CODE]

Success!
