Well after reviewing the posts I found the link tyssen posted to be more along the lines of what i was wanting to accomplish.
the page located at
CODE
http://tcs.trap17.com/test.html
is the page in reference in this post, as you see the example one they gave the 2nd one on the page works flawlessly or at least to the point that I am satisified where as the link above it works well shall we say doesn't work at all rofl.
The coding for the page is as follows.
CODE
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

var domTT_styleClass = 'domTTOverlib';

<a href="index.html" onmouseover="domTT_activate(this, event, 'content', 'Many weblogs are now sporting this look.<p>i.e. http://blog.codefront.net</p>', 'styleClass', 'niceTitle', 'x', this.offsetLeft + 5, 'y', this.offsetTop + 5);">nicetitles style</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
the .js files are located in the same directory as test.html but yet i can't duplicate the results desired as they have been accompolished with the 2nd link.
any help that can be given to help me solve the problem would greatly be appreciated. If you have any further questions as to my set up feel free to ask and i will answer them asap.
the domTT is located at the following link, as which i have searched for tutorials and what not to help me try and figure out what I am doing wrong and with no avail.
