Hey,

Well I looked at the website and these little help popups are really
nice.  I am actually thinking of adding something like this to the web
application I currently work on.  The thing is, you are missing some
files.  If you look at the source code for the web site they have these
files:

<script src="../scripts/pint_common.js" language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../scripts/pint_printcss.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../scripts/vs_rollover.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../scripts/menus/init.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../scripts/pint_initcleanup.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../scripts/glossary_monitoruniversity.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>

Here is a link to one of them (this link you gave is not actually
correct, if you look at the src it has a ../ at the beginning so you
have to go one level above before going to scripts):
http://www.viewsonic.com/scripts/pint_common.js

You see, in these files all the onmouseover events are attached to the
words along with many other things going on.  I would make sure you have
all these files first and then try to edit them to fit your needs.  Hope
this helps.  Good Luck.


Later
