Nested Bubbles

Is there any way to create a nested bubble with html?

Scenario.
Mouse-over the word nested.
A bubble appears with the word bubble inside.
Mouse-over that word.
A bubble appears with the word html inside.

Is it possible to do that using inline html code?

There are many tutorials online for pop ups.  Try it out with putting the nested code inside the original code.

Look at the code here:  http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/tooltip_shadow/tooltip_shadow.html

glenn, thanks

I see the bubble (called a tooltip there) but I don't see where I can nest them.

I also don't see the code you are talking about.

I see now...  How could I nest this?
<a onmouseover="showTooltip(text for tip);return false" onmouseout="hideTooltip()" href="#">Roll over me!</a>

Open in new window

put the same code inside the first tootip.
You may need to experiment with determining exactly where.
I have never done this.

You could also open an iframe (page  where you control the size, within a page) and put a single nested bubble in that.

An iframe is undesireable her.  I am looking for a specific example that I could replicate of how to create a nested bubble.  

Further assistance is greatly appreciated.
Never actually tried it myself.

The best I can offer is create a pop up from sample code and try putting the same sample code somewhere in the original pop up.

I know how to create a popup that has a link to another webpage, but that is not the same.

Feel free to close the question with no points awarded and re post.
I will not reply.

I sure don't.  Perhaps I should have asked that question first.
Yeah, I have never seen it at all.  But at least you will be on the right track with jQuery.  Thanks for the points, and best of luck with the project, ~Ray
