I'm building a map and making each building on the map clickable and while that is done, I'm now putting in names to appear when the user mouses over.

This is what I have thus far:

<area shape="rect" coords="362,372,399,432" href="www.link.biz" target="_self" onMouseOver="Testing">Testing</a></p>

Somethings missing but I'm not sure what....any advice?

You need to create an event handler in javascript.

<script type="text/javascript">
function Testing(label)
{
   document.write(label);
}
</script>

Your link should also pass a parameter which in this case would be the text you want to display for the current object the mouse is over.

onmouseover="testing('label');"

You probably would want to add a handler for when the mouse is moved off of the object, which will set the label back to nothing.

onmouseover="testing('');"

If I understand you correctly you don't need to use JS for this. All you you need to do is add the title attribute.

title="this will appear on mouseover"

Thanks!

no problem.

I guess you can mark this as solved.

I will. Also, I tried out the MouseOver command and with "title", it was unnecessary.
