So I'm writing up a couple technical documents to put on the web. these are aimed at people who might not know alot of the terms used, so I'm also including a glossary, directly linked from the words in the text. (kinda like wikipedia)
I had the idea that if I could have a mouseover popup the definition without navigating to a differnent page, it would make reading alot easier.
so what I want is a mouseover popup that displays a breif clarification, but if you click, it takes you to the full glossary entry. this is similar to the effect of the "IntelliTXT In-Text Advertising" used in AT (and other's) articles.
I assume this is some sort of javascript behavior, but I can't seem to find anything on it. hundreds of tutorials on rollover images, but nothing on text.
how would you go about this?
thanks in advance.
