Can popups links appear like rollover links?

Hello everyone.

I designed a site (http://www.thimbali.com/product.html) and with the
products, a description pops up, when they are clicked on. Can I have the
products behave like rollover links and change color? Can anyone tell me how
to do that?

Thanks!

Chris,
I'm not seeing any descriptive text popups. When I mouseover your menu, I
see an animal shape above that particular menu item. Clicking on the
products page, I see a list of products on the right side, but no links or
popups...
In other words, I'm not entirely clear what you are after ;-)

Hello Nadia I think I know what he is on about because im having the same
problem lol.
If you goto his products page and move your mouse over Sheep Placenta Powder
for eg and click on it you get a browser window appear. Can when you hover
over the product for example appear as a rollover link??

ah, ok. I 'moused over' those links and I didn't see anything happen. It
is not very intuitive ;-) It was only when I clicked on the link that I saw
the pop up.

When you have a string of text that you want to add a behaviour to, you need
to give it a null link that is: "javascript;:"
without the quotes. So Chris' link would be like this:

<a href="java script:;">Sheep Placenta Powder</a>

Once you have your links set up correctly, you can then use css to change
the color of the active link and change the color when you mouseover the
link.

These links will help you style your links
Pseudo-classes and container styles are what you need - here are some
tutorials for you to get started with.

PS: Do not use DW properties box to do this please.

CSS is your friend

create a new css sheet or add the following to your page at the top in
the <head> somwhere

a:link {color: #FF0000} /* unvisited link */
a:visited {color: #00FF00} /* visited link */
a:hover {color: #FF00FF} /* mouse over link */
a:active {color: #0000FF} /* selected link */

If you are not already use CSS to style out text. if you are still
using <font> tags ... shame on you.
