[Resolved] Mouse Over properties in PHP

[kcgame]

Hi,

I am wondering can i do stuff like MouseOver properties in PHP. I would like to display a help text when the cursor is over an icon. How can i do that?

Any help/comment is appreciated. Thanks.

javascript or some other client side language like it. php is all server side so once the html is on the users webbrowser, php is out of the picture.

Does it means i still save the file as .php? And provided the web host supports Javascript?
Can i achieve it by purely HTML (think nope🙁 but just to confirm)

The idea is to process the php file (and yes, it's still saved as *.php) and send output (be it html, javascript, css, image whatever) to the browser. Now JavaScript has to be supported by browser not the server.
As to the Help when over a picture: if it's short line of text then put it in title="your help text" inside <img> tag.

<img src="whatever.gif" title="Help text">

If it is supposed to show somewhere on the page - JavaScript is the way to go.

Thanks for the response, I've just found out that a tool tip can be performed via Javascript. And Javascript is different from Java, as long as the browser supports the Javascript, its ok.

Well, the issue is closed for now🙂
