Hey what's up guys? Well, I don't know if you remember but, I once posted a question about a script that was seen at the microsoft site. Well, the script was that when you moved your mouse over a link, a box would appear with more links. I saw that no one could figure it out. Well, I just did. If this script has been revlealed, I'm making a fool out of myself. If no one has revealed, great. To start, this was a script with when you clicked the link, the box would appear. Well, I went around and played with it and finally got the mouseover to work. Here is how to do it. *No need to download anything.*

/********************************************************************

DIV.clSub{position:relative; top:-5; font-family:arial,helvetica; font-size:12px; padding:10px; visibility:hidden; background-color:black; layer-background-color:background color choice!!}
</style>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">

Hi,

Looked it over a little, pretty nice (some typos). Have you seen the one at www.javascripts.com? Not that different.
