For my own reasons i wanted to try to create one of those popups that appears when you move your mouse over an item in the game World of Warcraft. This effect is used on many fansites of world of warcraft, such as www.thottbot.com
I was interested in making this popup without javascript, so this is my result doing it with CSS2 alone. I’ve tried to keep the HTML tidy, but it can probably be better… Wish i could have that parent selector, that i think is coming in CSS3
I sadly had to use some hacks - most of my time was used on making it work in IE 6, which i think was some good training.
Without further explanation:

(Oh, it’s only tested in Mozilla 2 and IE 6 - So there will probably be bugs in other browsers)
