How do you create pop up boxes like those on downloads.com. I am talking about the ones that pop up when you mouse over a donwloadable program, they tell you the file size, number of downlaods, and date added. To see what i mean just go to a download.com and select any of the categories and then select a sub-category and then just leave your mouse on a program without clicking. The pop up will show up. So i really need to add something exactly like this to my site, how do you do it? I really need help with this.

    It's a DIV tag populated with data from a database that is set to invisible in CSS on the page load, but is set to visible on the mouseover. Here's their source for the DIV tag: I'm pretty sure they're using .NET here in an AJAX type way, but there's nothing to keep you from using another scripting language like PHP in the same sort of way.
