How can I have a pop-up window when mouseover text?

How can I have a pop-up window when mouseover text?

(OP)
I would like to add pop-up message boxes with additional information and a list of question within a form.  I have tried using the onMouseOver, but I can't seem to get it to work.  Example: '1. Are the elbows at a 90 degree angle?'  I would like the message to say 'Posotion that does not force shoulder or elbow beyond neutral.' when the mouse is over the question.

RE: How can I have a pop-up window when mouseover text?

Try changing the question to an anchor: then you have a mouseover event eg

CODE

<a onmouseover="alert ('oi')">This is a question</a>

That's great, except that you have to click OK to get rid of the message.  I need the message to show only when the cursor in on the question and disappear when not, without any response need by the user.  Is that possible?
