Yes, but with text and having it come up just to the right.
(on the site I am designing, on the bottom of the page I have the dates 1950-1959 listed, and a name of a popular car from that year. I want to be able to click on the name of the car and have a pic pop up to the right. It wont let me do a mouseover in VSD due to the overlap.)

Use the examples at the bottom of my site. The code for the text links is in a separate HTML box then the picture load area so you can drag them where ever you like.:)

Here's another way to pull this off.

Eric, Under your second example, I am working with your example 4, less link. I followed you directions but I must be doing something wrong. Here is what I have and where:

(VSD) Header: copied and plaste exactly from Dynamic site

(VSD) HTML box, BODY: <a rel="imgtip[0]" style="text-decoration:none"><font size="5" face="Andalus" color="#800000"><b> Mercury</b></font></a>

ddimgtooltip.js file: tooltips[0]=["1950-Merucry.gif"]

Now, I do not have the image in a subfolder, just under the main folder. I was trying to understand this a bit, but does the VSD "imgtip[0]" point to the .js file? And if so, should the match? I see in the .js file it says tooltips[0]. I made them match but it did not work. You seem to have 'dummy' proofed your instructions, but I always seem to find way to screw up the easiest things up.

Your link is setup properly. You don't have to have the pic in a folder as long as your link reflects that. Your .js file looks to be tweaked correctly. The [0] tells which image to load in the popup which is determined by the editing in the .js file.

Did you add the two files to the Root of your site.
1. ddimgtooltip.js
2. ddimgtooltip.css

If this all checks out and it still doesn't work post a link so I can verify the code on your page.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

ok, I may be getting some where. I republished everything, piece by piece and what I have now is a small white square at mouseover. This happened after I republished the .js and .css files.

I will let you take a look and see what you think, but I am starting to think I have a corrupt file/files? I will reload them again just to make sure they are all good.
