an image doesn't need to be a link in order to use the alt attribute. just add alt="your text here" to the <img> tag :)

I'm not sure if i explained that right so i'll try again..

What i wanna do is make it so a message pops up when you hover over a certian part of an image (image map) but i don't want it to be linked so is that possible?

now I see what you're asking :)

you could try using the normal image map code, but leaving the href="" attribute empty (just like that), or taking it out altogether

Taking the link out work.. Thanks for that :D

Now is there a way to change the speed in which it alt pops up? :lol:

the text popup thing is called a "tooltip".
check this link for a number of different variations on it...
