Hi,

i've been working on a webpage that uses the javascript tooltip mouse over script.
I've made a script.
It works great
Here it is:

put tooltip div just before </BODY>. */

- <a href="#" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()">M1 Garand</a><br><br />
- <a href="#" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,1)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Thompson</a>



<div id="tipDiv" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:100"></div>

</body>
</html>

But when i want to have more links, the script doesnt work anymore.
Ik can do a maximum of 2 links.
Normaly i thought it just had to add a

Code Download source

messages[2] = new Array('images/guns/[newimage].jpg','[New description]',"#000000");

And then at the bottom

Code Download source

<a href="#" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,2)" onmouseout="hideTip()">[NEW LINK]</a>

But it doesn't work.
Only the events: 0 and 1 work.
As soon as i get a event 2 it doesnt work anymore.
None of the events work.

PLZ help me!!!!:(

Code Download source

messages[0] = new Array('images/guns/m1garand.jpg','M1 Garand',"#000000");
messages[1] = new Array('images/guns/m1carbine.jpg','M1A1 Carbine',"#000000");

Your problem is here. You have added a #2 event. You also need to add it for the messages areas as well. Also, keep in mind that the first call is actually [0] and not [1].

It's fixed
The problem was a <br> tag
The <br> tag was not allowed at the end of the

Code Download source

messages[0] = new Array('images/guns/m1garand.jpg','M1 Garand',"#000000");

tag

This was my wrong line:

Code Download source

messages[0] = new Array('images/guns/m1garand.jpg','M1 Garand',"#000000");[b]<br>[/b]

Now is it:

Code Download source

messages[0] = new Array('images/guns/m1garand.jpg','M1 Garand',"#000000");

And it's fixed;)
