Pure CSS Tooltips

Sent by Akins, Chris on 27 January 2005 20:08


Can you expound on this a bit for those of us newer to CSS?  What "other
element" would a person use, for instance, to generate a clickable spot that
would then either show a tooltip, open a small new window, etc. ?

What IE7 extension, and can it be applied to IE6, 5?

Thanks,

Chris
