is it possible to change the text displayed using the onmouse over event

[vicki_b]

I have a joke on my home page and I want to be able to hide the answer until the user puts their mouse over the question. My question is firstly is this possible and secondly if it is possible how do I go about doing it???

Thanks

Vicki:confused:

You mean like have a tooltip contain the answer?

If so, you should be able to do that with the title attribute.

e.g.<p>blah blah <span title="answer">question</span></p>

Thanks but I was thinking more along the lines of a mouse over that simply either replaces the question with the answer or displays the answer on the next line. Is this possible???

<div onmouseover="this.innerText='your punch line'" onmouseout="this.innerText='your funny joke here'">Your funny joke here</div>


Something like that?
