Thread: mouse over menu

My friend is doing a site and would like to have a pop up mouse over link box. I was going to recommend java script. This is his first website and I am building my second, I've been helping him out. I think the simplest would be best (when isn't it). Any opinions over what would be the easiest way to do it?

I keep in mind when I started structure web sites. Creating a dynamic menu’s meant creating a series of images, one for the static image, one for the mouse-over image, and at times a divide image for when a click occurred. After this, I piled on the JavaScript to preload the mouse over images and change the images, depending on which menu button had the mouse cursor over it.
This in itself was boring, Not only because I had to create up to 3 separate images, but also because it increased page load time, as well as being a pain when the time came to create a new menu item for the same site. With the evolution of CSS over the past couple of years, however, this process has been greatly simplified.
This answers will show you a very simple technique to create mouse over menu’s that load almost instantly, that look great.
