Hey all,

This seems like it should be simple to me...
I have several pics. When a user moves their mouse over a pic, a
javascript popup appears. When they move their mouse off the pic, the
popup disappears. No problem.

Recently I decided to turn the popup text into links. I accomplished
this with no errors. My problem is that the popup still disappears when
the user moves their mouse off the pic. IOW, the mouseover focus
doesn't transfer to the popup. I'm thinking I need to convert the
javascript popup into a full-fledged menu to accomplish this.

Does anyone have a useful link or info on this kind of
dynamic-menu-over-image-file-scenario? 

Thanks

Add an onmouseover to your popup that is the exact same as your 
onmouseover for the image and make sure the image and the popup overlap 
one another. It is the basis for most div-based menu systems.
