Non-link Text Status Bar Rollovers in Netscape
I'm working on a site where I have a lot of technical acronyms appearing in the documentation. I'm trying to get it so that the viewer can highlight with the mouse an acronym that he/she does not understand and a definition will appear.
I tied using TITLE="definition" but that only works in IE. I tried using status bar rollover JS, which works great in IE but in order for it to work in Netscape it needs to be a link. However, I don't want it to be a link for various reasons. Does anyone know to solve my little predicament here?

Well I probably don't have the answer that you are looking for but you can use the anchor tag on text and it won't be a link.
In Example...
<a class="nonlink">TEXT THAT AIN'T NO LINK</a>
Then you can effect it with your Javascript in Netscape.
Just use some CSS to make that text either match your site or to make it distiguishable from a link.
That should probably fix your problem.
