Go to this site http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/default.aspx

Move your mouse over a MOVIE title (kind of off yellow) and a box will pop up.

The box will have a link to "click for program info, video and more".

That link goes to a lame tvguide.com review of the movie. Wouldn't it be cool if it could be redirected to an IMDb title search? That opened on a new tab?

That's the general idea.

Can someone do this?

hi there... i started on it. just modified my old script. see if you can do anything with it:

I can't do anything with it because I don't know javascript.

It conflicts with my css http://userstyles.org/styles/1788 and hides everything on the page. I can use either your js or my css but not both at the same time.

When using your js alone there are no popup boxes at all. The cursor changes to a hand pointer when it hovers but the box never pops up and the link isn't clickable - unless there is something else that it blocking it from opening.

yeah its not css... i was in the process of changing the popup function-- which doesnt do much in the script.

basically, i targeted it out for now.
