modal window with some text onmouseover

i'm not a js programmer AND i'm looking for a modal window that pops up onmouseover (and on click as well) that i can put a graphic and some text into - looking for easy to follow suggestions.

thanks!

Pratima

Try this

<a href='#' onmouseover="window.open ('7.html',
'mywindow','menubar=1,resizable=1,width=350,height=250');" target="_blank" >MouseOver</a>
<a href='#' onclick="window.open ('7.html',
'mywindow','menubar=1,resizable=1,width=350,height=250');" target="_blank" >Onclick</a>

Replace 7.html with your page name that you want to open in Popup window

thansk for the response pratima mcs - the on click is working - the mouseover is not - here's my code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
 
<body>
   <a href='#' onmouseover="window.open ('modaltest.php',
'mywindow','menubar=1,resizable=1,width=350,height=250');" target="_blank"   >MouseOver</a>
<a href='#' onclick="window.open ('modaltest.php',
'mywindow','menubar=1,resizable=1,width=350,height=250');" target="_blank"   >Onclick</a>
</body>
</html>

Open in new window

ah yes-had my pop up blockter turned on! now it works- only problem is, i'm looking for a sort of "frameless" look

sort of like this -

but without the move around the photo feature

for instance something like this would be PERFECT - if i could get it to work onmouseover:

click on "Simple Window Modal"

ddayx10 - this is very cool! very straightforward - it's pretty much exactly what i need. my only quesiton is - i would prefer the modal window source to be a seperate webpage instead of

<div id="modalBox" style="position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; display:none;">
<img src="/img/someimage.jpg" height="25" width="25" />
<a href="#" onclick="return hideModal()">Close</a>
</div>

is there a way to pull that off?

Thanks - i actually ended up using something a little bit more flexible:

http://deseloper.org/examples/modal-simple/ - works great! so far. i was having problems with z-index and position with your solution - but it defintely pushed me toward the solution - thanks for taking the time.
