    pop out effect?

    So, recently I've been seeing more and more ads online that have a "hover over for more info" then when you hover over them they expand beyond their normal constraints. You probably know what I'm talking about.

    Anyway, it got me thinking that something like this might be used in a flash game for some cool end result, which leads me to the question:

    How do they do that?

    Agreed.

    Think you might be able to drop a line of code for those of us less html proficient?

    I looked up some wmode stuff, but I had significant trouble finding anything on a floating div tag.

    This is less flash, more HTML. But div is not br. A div is a container, like all block level html elements it can be styled with css, including size and position. In this case, you'd position it absolutely, with a higher z index than the rest of the page content.

    No, not really. In theory I know how to approach the problem, though I've never implemented it. I suggest you ask in the HTML/CSS/Javascript forum.
