This Script is a play on the Pop-up Tool Tips seen in Windows all the time. Only in this case it's combined with a Marquee effect. I think if used wisely, it could be quite an effective tool for your Web page.
Here's a peek at what is making this happen, this is the code I used for the link below.
<A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/~prof_al/examples/examples.html" onMouseover="showtip2(this,event,'Check out Prof Als SandBox for all the examples used in the class.')" onMouseout="hidetip2()"> Go to Prof Al's SandBox</A>
The portion in red represents the text you want shown inside the scrolling tool tip. Note that for the scrolling tooltip script, there is no need to “break” text if it is very long; it is a scrolling tooltip, after all!
Visit Prof Al's Place Go to Prof Al's SandBox.
The Script code that is placed inside the <BODY> can be found below in the TextArea, just copy and paste it. There are several variable lines in the Script code that those with “brave hearts” can experiment with to change the way it appears on the Web page.
