The alt attribute was not designed for this task even though ie insists on using it this way. If you need big boxes like the example page shows, a sample css solution can be found at <http:// meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo2.html> and <http:// www.tjkdesign.com/articles/css%20pop%20ups/default.asp> The major drawback to css popups is that to be compatible with ie6 and lower, you must use an [a] element as the container, which means you can only put inline elements inside of the popup such as spans and images. If your popup needs a heading and a paragraph of text, you can make it look the way you want using spans, but people without css will see it as a part of the link text, all run together. hth -- Roger Roelofs "Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns!" ~Allison Gappa Bottke ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
