$333.33/day is my goal!
I am looking for a good tooltip mouseover that follows the cursor and knows when to re-position itself. Here is what I am talking about (mouse over any image) only I am thinking about adding some transparency to the dropdowns (if it is supported by all current browsers).

Please help point me in the right direction! Thanks
 


Here's a couple to start with.

Dynamic Drive DHTML Scripts- Popup information box II

DHTML Tooltips: Pop-up Layer Onmouseover


Those two are text-based examples. They can be modified to use display extra markup/images without much effort.

On something like this, for the more experienced, I'd recommend just making a function from scratch. Mainly because a lot of the libs' out there are going to be geared for a single use (as seen in the previous links) and you'll end up rewriting most of it anyway. Not to mention a lot you'll find are extremelly dated.


If you're just looking to show a dialog in a less fancy method, there's several CSS options out there that will eliminate the usage of javascript totally. These options are great basic image galleries, etc...

Dynamic Drive CSS Library- CSS Popup Image Viewer

Hoverbox Image Gallery




Give us a little more info on the type of content you're wanting to popup. I'm sure there's one of us here that can point you in the right direction.



best of luck.
