Dialogue box???

I'm not sure if that's what they are called, but how do I do the little
yellow box that appears, for example when you place the mouse over a picture,
or on a link, or whatever. Please dont post the HTML answer, because I'm not
very good with it.

Thanks!

umm, youre new with computers i take it? the little yellow box usually
appears just by hovering over the object, beit links, shortcuts on your menu,
etc. if it doesnt appear after a few seconds, then the object wasnt meant to
display one.

To answer the question: they're called "ScreenTips".

In Frontpage, first select the text you want for the link, then go to Insert
menu, Hyperlink. type in the page to be linked in the "link" field as usual,
then up the top of that dialogue there is a button labelled "Screentips" (or
similar)

Click on it and enter the message you want in there, then click OK out of all the
boxes. Preview the page.

I think this only actually works in Internet Explorer browsers, but not sure.

If you've done it for pictures, then the idea is the same.

These are called screen tips. Most, if not all, HTML
elements, including unlinked text, can have one by placing
a title in the tag.

< p title="Screen Tips Text">Yada Yada Blah Blah Blah</p >

Not sure what the level of browser support is, so don't
put vital information in them.
