Hello
I build some sites using some old software server package from years back.
I would like to find out how or is there software i can purchase here from CoffeeCup that allows me to do the following.

I want to put text or a button on webpage so that when you mouseover it, a picture or a text block opens beside or near it on same page.As well can the pic or text block be fairly transparent so you can see slightly the original page underneath. Is this a flash item? or a HTML process?

some help on this would surely be appreciated.I am willing to purchase software and learn. Please pont me in direction.

Here is a quick example I found to show what i mean. mouse over the links of products list and a pic appears of that item to the right.

Hi. I see no one has replied. CoffeeCup does not have a software that will duplicate this. The example page you gave seems to be using a .cgi script for that affect. I think it might be possible to create it using javascript. Best guess to find a script would be to google 'mouseover' or 'rollovers' or any other keywords to describe what you are looking for. You'll probably find a javascript turorial site that might have a ready-made javascript that you would only have to modify the info of the images to get it to work.

Let us know if you find anything please?

Hi There,

I have a suggestion if it's not too late for you. Attached is a .doc file with a file example of what you maybe looking for.
