How Do I Make Text Appear In A Box On Mouse-Over Of Item?

[voiceover]

I have 10 items listed on a page.
On Mouse-Over of any item, I want instructional text to appear in a Help Box near the item list.
The same Help Box with different text must be used.
How?

Stack the text boxes, use page.hideobject("text") to hide all the text you do not wish to display on Page show Actions.

Then on Mouse over your menu / text, use PageHideObject ("text1") and Page.ShowObject("Text2"), you will need to reverse this on Mouse leave.

Hope this is understandable.

You could also use the set text action to set the text of a single textbox on mouseover, and set it back to "" on mouseout.

Yes, that's a lot more elegant, as long as you want the text formatting to remain the same.
