Membership Type "Tool Tip" Information

For visitors new to the YMCA there is bound to be some confusion over the differce between a Full Membership and a Program Membership. To help visitors understand the difference, we have created what is commonly called a "Tool Tip." This is a pop-up window with additional information about what a button (or Tool) does. We've put this information on the page where the question is most likely to come up: the Schedule.

We've added large question marks next to the titles of the Full Membership and Program Membership columns. When a vistor places their cursor over the questionmark, a yellow box appears with a more detailed description of the membership.


The Technology
A perk of this feature is that it has been constructed using only CSS (cascading style sheet) techniques. This means that visitors will not need to have Javascript, Flash, or even images enabled to view the message.
