:confused:
okay so i've searched everywhere for this, and i'm not even sure it can be done, so i'm coming to you fabulous people for help.

here is my test page: http://www.jessicabongiorno.com/test/testpage.html

in the first sentence of the main paragraph, the first link says 'pearloid dot fret markers'. if you mouseover it, you'll see a menu tooltip that comes up with additional links. i want that to stay the way it is, it works fine.

NOW... what i want to do, is go a step further and mouseover 'pic 1', and have it show an image. i've seen this done by hovering over a link OR an image, and then the tooltip pops up the image. but i can't seem to figure out how to get it after i've already created a tooltip and need yet ANOTHER one.

im babbling now, but hopefully you guys understand.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks so much,
jessica

You might be able to 'nest' another tooltip (like the Rich HTML Balloon Tooltip (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/balloontooltip.htm)) inside your pop-it menu, though I've never tried that, so I couldn't tell you if it would work or not. If it did, I think the pop-it links would be limited to showing the balloon tooltips, and would not be able to function as regular links also.

I'd start by installing both scripts and writing the linksets in the pop-it menu to call the balloon tooltips, like so:

linkset[0]='<a href="#" rel="pic1balloon">pic 1</a>'

I might try later. Alternatively, you could use something like lightbox (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/lightbox2/index.htm) to show the pics when the pop-it link is clicked. That way, you could see the pic full-sized without having the user leave the page.
