Title Attribute Timeout

[allanm]

Hi,

I have some inline help icons on my site that users mouseover to receive small 'popup' help messages (like ALT tags). I'm doing this by using the TITLE attribute e.g.
TITLE="Please select a location from the drop down list.."

I have a requirement to make certain messages longer (which therefore take longer to read) but IE's TITLE-mouseover popup limit is approximately 7 seconds which is too short.

Does anyone know how to extend the timeout limit or an alternative way of doing this? There must be a way to make the popup disappear when the users mouseoff the image.

Thanks all
-Allan

You can create a similar effect with more control using DHTML. Here (http://www.walterzorn.com/tooltip/tooltip_e.htm)is the first example I found, which seems pretty good and easy to implement. If you want to try others, just do a search for DHTML tooltips.

Thanks a million IKLOP, that's exactly what I'm after!
