The popup would have to do an AJAX call, or you'd have to push all your info down in your initial HTML. Beyond that, it's just a popup.

Much as I loathe it, the ASP.NET AJAX library has this[^]. Personally, I'd view the source to learn how to do it myself. It looks to me like it just uses mouse over and mouse out events. You could fire a timer in mouse over to make it wait for a hover.

ok thanks something do it with javascript but Customer Name how can I take and send popup I will use var els=document.getElementsByTagName('a') method?

If the customer name is on the screen, you can look it up with jQuery. Don't use straight js, use jQuery. If you don't have that info on the client, you need to get it via AJAX

because information will come from database according to Customer Name

Christian Graus 8-Jan-13 19:58pm

OK, so an AJAX call then
