Popup Alignment
Hello, im hoping someone can help me. I have a site that is using onmouseover popup to show definitions and footnotes throughout a very long document... the problem is when the linked word is too close to the right side of the page the popup still goes to the right of the cursor and ends up off the page so cant be read. Is there a way to make it see the right edge of the screen and stay within view area?
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Can you post the code you're using now, might be easier for someone to adjust it than redesign which may not be suitable for you. Not the whole function, just the onclick value if it's not a function call, else the function itself

Hi, here is a sample of the code....
this is the sample of the call... the popup will happen when you run your mouse over the words FIRST NATION.
First
Nation
I hope this is what you were asking for

Ahhh, tooltips are different to popups but we should be able to come up with something ...
does the Activate() function contain any positioning values?
try change the ToolTip to the following
#ToolTip{position:absolute; visibility:hidden; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100px;}
all I've done is removed the px value on the 0 and rearranged the order, also removed the z-index.

oh thanks busy! i'll try that....
Tooltips are what popup when you hover your mouse over something... its not really a window, just a small note with a description or tip in it. moving your mouse off turns it off...
(hope i described that correctly)

It's an advance form of HTML's title="" using Javascript
HTML = mouse me
Javascript you are able to control the size, shape, colour, include an image ...
depends how it's written, will work in most browsers
