Greets fellow designers, let me first post an example of what I am going to be talking about.

http://www.thottbot.com/?f=w&name=&loc=Ran...3=&c3=gt&v3=&e=


now located on that page is a bunch of images and such inside of a table, (those who play this is probably a familiar site)

what I am trying to mimic is the tooltip you get when you mouse over an image, I have gone so far as to even take the source from the page and try to modify it for my own to no avail

Located on the site i have put together for my guild a listing of what we have in the guild bank but i would like to move it to it's own page and do similiar to what you see in the above link for each of the items.

If anyone can possibly give me a hand with this by writing a source that I can edit or telling me how to go about it by linking me to tutorials I would appreciate it.

Again thank you for your time and consideration in helping me.


PS: I have tried to do it with the alt="blah" part of the img src code and that doesn't work whatsoever

The Alt= "tooltips" are used only by IE. The W3C Standard uses the title= "tooltip". These will only produce a single line of text, and the size of the tooltip is Browser dependent, also. Hav a look at Tyssen's reccomendation. That'll work.
