Help pop-up text for Web

This is a simple DHTML code to simulate the notes hotspot popup in Web.
Step 1:

This function will create a pop up text. Specify the location of the tool tip by adjusting the Top and left parameters. 

function ShowIt(tipmsg)
{
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('BeforeEnd', '<DIV STYLE
="position:absolute; TOP:100px; LEFT:12px" ID="TheTip"> <TABLE
Style=border-style:solid Style=border-width=1px bordercolor="000000"
CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0><TD BGCOLOR="ffffCC">'+tipmsg+'
</TD></TABLE></DIV><SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript> ');
}

Step 2:
This function will clear the popup text when the mouse is out from the label. 

Loseit()
{
TheTip.innerHTML=""
TheTip.outerHTML=""
}

Step 3:
<A href="http://www.Yahoo.com" OnMouseOver="Showit()" OnMouseOut="Loseit()">Yahoo</a>
