acronym vs onmouseover tag

Hi,

I have a question about hyperlinks, acronym titles and onmouseover. What
I`m trying to do is create a pop up window appear when the mouse moves
over the hyperlinked text. Acronym tags would work if I could create
text with tables because what I`m trying to display is a miniature
monthly calendar. If including html code for table effects within the
acronym tag is too much, is it possible to upload the image as a jpg
file and run it similar to a onmouseover tag?

Hi,

Acronyms are for acronyms, not tooltips. The title attribute is
available to All elements but BASE, BASEFONT, HEAD, HTML, META, PARAM,
SCRIPT and TITLE.

over the hyperlinked text.

Generally, popups are bad and depend on the user having javascript
enabled. They can also be blocked by the browser, or by browser plugins.

Acronym tags would work if I could create

Acronym is not a tag, it is an element.

If including html code for table effects within the

acronym tag is too much, is it possible to upload the image as a jpg
file and run it similar to a onmouseover tag?

Onmouseover is not a tag. It is an attribute, and depends on the user
having javascript enabled.

For a monthly calendar, you should have the text in the calendar, or at
least part of it. Not everyone is going to notice a tooltip.

Further, visitors not using a mouse are going to have problems. Better
to stick with a hyperlink and a title attribute for that A element.

OK, thanks arb. I guess, what little i know of html, I`ve been

exhausting it to death. What I`m trying to do is similar to what already
exists in blog software, xml, etc. I don`t want to make the transition
to this format language yet because I`m still learning html.
