Hi, I am trying to create my website and I have seen people on here using this thing that is a little text box that appears when the mouse goes over something. The box travels with the mouse until the mouse is no longer over the thing. I have seen it on here before and tried searching but I had no idea what to search for. I have also been looking for an example but cannot find one. So how do you do it? Please help guys! I know you can.

Thank you…
