Advice Needed for a Website Calendar

[USMDude]

Hi,

I'm webmaster for my business fraternity chapter's website. I want to code my calendar pages on the site to have ToolTips pop up when someone clicks or rolls over a specific event. I'd like to know how to do it. Does it require something like PHP?

The link to the events page is: http://www.dspgammatau.org/events.htm

Also keep in mind that the current layout for the site, including the calendar of events, isn't what my vision for the site will be so anything that will allow me to port it over to my new designs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You will need some kind of scripting language like Perl, PHP or ASP. Check over at Hotscripts for some calendar scripts.

If all you need are tooltips on your links, (if html will work here)
Hover Here.
(if it does not)
simply add a title= attribute to your hyperlinks.
Or, alternatively, you could add a javascript to pop open a window onClick or onMouseOver:

function popup(url){
window.open(url,"","width=600,height=400,top=30,left=200,location=yes,directories=no,status=no,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=1");}

with a link like:

a href='javascript://' onClick=javascript:popup('http://www.yoursite.com')

You could also do the simple href title attribute:

DSP Chapter Meeting
JGH 216 5:15PM

<a href="#" title="More info on DSP Chapter Meeting
JGH 216 5:15PM">DSP Chapter Meeting JGH 216 5:15PM</a>
