sub categories pop up java display

**Sushigal** · 30 Apr 2010, 11:38 AM

Currently I have my subcategories on display all the time because a mod was installed, we've decided this looks too messy and would like it so that when you hover over a main cat, it's sub cat menu pops up I believe this would innvolve java script? I'm a beginner to all of this so if someone could shed some light I would be most grateful and if anyone knows if and how easily it can be done that would be very helpful. Maybe there's a categories mod?

Many thanks

You could maybe just use html, if the category is providing a hyperlink when moused over, you could just add a mouseover tip; screen tip. Just have to find out where that html is being generated, and maybe update the link, to look like below, title is the text you want to display on mouseover.

<a href="thelink.htm" title="mouse over screen tip">
Text the link shows as in web page</a></p>

I'm not sure as I said, how it's actually working, because I just started, but I'll give it a shot
