overLib is from Eric Bosrup (http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib)

This class is just a driver/container, so most of this wonderful
work is done by Eric Bosrup! Keep this in mind...

This is a class.overlib demonstration with a link Move your mouse over the link.

<?
    include("class.overlib/class.overlib.php"); 
    $ol = new Overlib();
?>

This is a class.overlib demonstration with a 
<a href="#" <? $ol->pover ("class.overlib is working"); ?>>link</a>
Move your mouse over the link.

The pover() method works like the over() method with one exception: pover() prints out the js data, over() returns a string with this informations. The needed parameters for both methods are the text. Optional to both methods are the caption and a status text. Try this:

move mouse over this link

<?
    $res = $ol->over("class.overlib is working", "Warning");
?>

If a status text is supplied as third argument, this text will be shown in the browsers status bar:

move mouse over this link

<?
    $res = $ol->over("class.overlib is working", "", "Warning: class.overlib is working");
?>

With the set() method you can change the design of the create popups. As example, to change the font of the popup:
move mouse over this link

<?
    $ol->set("textfont","courier");
    $res = $ol->over("class.overlib is working");
?>

Here is list of variables that can be used to changed the popups - note: you can use the lower case name of the original overLib commands here. Example: the textfont would be TEXTFONT in overLib.
