How's does this guy get his HTML hovers this way?

I'm new to CSS, but I have a basic understanding of HTML. I'm confused, and this guy isn't being very helpful:

How does he make his friends list work?

It works so that when you hover the pictures a new block of text shows up for each one in a seperate space. I'd like to do something similiar, but I don't know what it's called or where to start with the code. Any help or ideas would be greatly appriciated

You can see the code here:

The easiest way to do it is with fireworks (macromedia).

Or learn javascript.

Aight... this is fairly simple... and I am sure there are more than one ways of doing this. The one from top of my head:

Create a table with three cols, keep the middle col empty and inside the left and right col define new tables, each cell of which will contain a pic.

In the middle col of the main table create a div and give it some name eg '%26lt;div style="width:300, height:300" name="desc"%26gt;

Now you need two javaScript functions say uhmm showDescription(name) and clearDescription() ie the first function takes (some var) name as input then using if(name == 'whoEver') creates a description eg desc = 'whoEver is blah blah blah'. Then populate the div with this variable desc.

In the %26lt;img%26gt; tag of all the pics you put, add onMouseOver and onMouseOut events, ie %26lt;img src="abc.jpg" onMouseOver="javaScript:showDesc(name)" onMouseOut="javaScript:clearDesc()"%26gt;

Sounds complicated? Email me at rohit.chaurasia@tcs.com and prolly I can write for you a sample code.
