Hello, I'm taking an intro to web design class. (the next unit we will cover will be CSS to give some idea of where I am at in the process.) In a frameset page, sometimes if you hold the mouse over a menu button, it displays the content of that folder. is that considered rollover behavior? Mindy

It might. "Rollover behavior" is more or less anything caused by placing your mouse over an element.

How could I have it show the contents of the menus when the mouse is over them?

I think what you're referring to is dynamic html
or DHTML for short
Usually javascript that shows submenus of the main menu that appear when you mouse over them. This post has been edited by jimlongo: Sep 3 2006, 08:20 PM |

How could I have it show the contents of the menus when the mouse is over them? Simple, just use the title attribute. example: CODE <a href="mypage.html" title="my page">my page</a> For images and objects you can use the alt and longdesc attributes. Would you also try to write your code with Accessibility in mind too please. So the above code (made accessible to disabled people) would look something like this: CODE <a href="mypage.html" title="my page" accesskey="h" tab="0">my page</a> Translated into english that means the following; CODE accesskey="h" means that users can use the Alt and h keys to select this particular link. CODE tab="0" Simply means that this link is first in the tab order (pressing the tab key will scroll through the tab order you have created for each page).

I'm quite certain I misunderstood - but if I didn't, please keep in mind that ALT and LONGDESC are not intended for use in creating "tooltips", but rather as a stand-in for the image and a link (an URI) to a document with further information about the image respectively. |

I'm quite certain I misunderstood - but if I didn't, please keep in mind that ALT and LONGDESC are not intended for use in creating "tooltips" and most browsers will not treat them as such (the prime exceptions being Netscape (but only upto version 4.x) and Internet Explorer. |
