Creating Balloons or pop-ups in dw8

[lkips]

Hi
I am creating a site that uses a map. When users run the mouse over a specific location I would like a balloon (not sure if this is actually what it is called) to pop-up with a picture, a brief description of the picture and a link to another page. How do I do this?
Thanks in advance

This is will have to be done with Javascript, and CSS.

Use a DIV and CSS to make the pop-up look the way you want to.
Then via javascript use the OnMouseOver to change the display to visible dynamically.

.mypopup_visible{
width:200px;
height:200px;
border:...;
etc...
display:block;

}

.mypopup_hidden{
display:none;
}

<div id="mypopup" class="mypopup_hidden">
<img src="">
<a href...>link</link>
</div>

[green]\\on your mouse over location, it can be a link inn the map something like[green]

<a href="#" onmouseover="mypopup.classname='mypopup_visible'" onmouseout="mypopup.classname='mypopup_hidden'">Hover Here</a>

You can do it on an image map section or whatever you are using as the map.

Hope this helps

essentially look into what DW refers to as 'show/hide layers'
