I'm using a link description code from here to pop up a brief description of the links when a visitor hovers over them (code below). It works fine but I have new links that I wont to add descriptions for. I try and add a new line under thebit but I then get a message saying "an error has occurred" and asking whether I want to continue running scripts. This message also displays when the links are hovered over. Is it possible to add more descriptions for the new links and how do I modify the code to do this?Code:// ######### popup text
Thanks,
