Thanx Zai. I never got far enough with HTML to recognize that. It is a shame it can't be forced to last longer cause I have to keep re-hovering to finish the reading with some.

Hey there Strife. Thanx for that. Only problem for me is to avoid spam I use Google chrome (I have never got a single spam ad with it in months of use (not one!!) whereas I used to get spammed every few minutes with both IE and Firefox). But from what you and Zai are saying the hovertext is not in the wiki but in my viewer/browser thingy. So even if I haven't got a solution I have learned something new about computers.

Whether or not it could be considered a good idea to do this - How would one change this Template to show the hover text for longer? I am interested in 1) It lasting longer (I think I am a little dyslexic) & 2) How this would be achieved (a breakdown of the way the Template code functions in this respect). -- Eddy (talk|contribs) 19:31, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hm... It's HTML. A title parameter in a <span> tag. I think the duration of the title is determined by the browser you're using. I don't think there's a chance to make it last longer without something that's more powerful than HTML... But I'm not an expert.
