Hi Georg

It does have a background! These are the styles for the text popup:

div#content  li a span {
display: none;
}

div#content li a:hover span {
display: block;
position: relative;
top:
-250px;
left: 10px;
width: 60%;
padding: 10px;margin: 10px;  z-index:
100;
background: #fff;
border: medium dotted #963;
font-weight:
normal;
color: #333;
}



(based on the Meyer one but with a few additions/changes. For example, his
used absolute positioning, but I wanted to use relative.)

Any other thoughts? Anyone? It's really annoying coz I know it must be
something I've done in my stylesheet, as his one works!

The link to the stylesheet is
