mouseover ToolTip Script

[Chimbo]

Someone please help.
The very first line in the script below appears to be needed, with the ajax.googleapis.com part.

OK, but there's a whole bunch of other stuff, and I've successfully converted it all to my site, and it works like a charm. I'd just like to know if there's a way to make it work without that line. Like an alternative to that line, or at least help me understand what it does.

I've tried removing it, the "src" part to the end of the statement and sure enough, it keeps it from working properly.

What is the work around, if any, instead of having that line?

Thanks,

Chimbo



Tooltip script:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ddimgtooltip.css" />

<script type="text/javascript" src="ddimgtooltip.js">

This line
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
is a link to the jQuery javascript library hosted on googles server. jQuery is needed for the tooltip script to work. If you will you can download it, and put it on your own server, but you still need a link to it. There is really no workaround if you want to use this tooltip script

Thats fine, but it seems like for the code I've learned to implement, there is still some 'secret' code, which I'd rather know what it does, instead of blindly having to use it.

But thanks for your help, I'll go through this too.

It isn't a really "secret", and you could easily look through the jQuery API to learn more about it.

Removing the line is possible, but would require a complete redesign of the script.

If you prefer to avoid jQuery, then here is an example of another tooltip script that doesn't require jQuery:
