i would assume i can use javascript ... not sure thought ... how, as simply as possible, can i get a mouseover to create a little yellow pop-up box on basic text (not an image or a link)? anyone have a pre-made script for this? i haven't written in javascript for like 6 years and have no urge to "re-learn" it.

Do a google search for "CSS

Do a google search for "CSS tooltips". That should do what you want.

paragraph tags

You should be able to use a paragraph tag with the title= attribute or the name= attribute...I don't really remember which one it is now that I'm thinking about it, but it's just one of the simpler xhtml attributes....hope that helps
