The "Detailed User Info." popup on password_admin\default.asp page does not stay on screen.

I've located this tip (for vertical placement of the overLIB popup) at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/overlib/message/10961.

For vertical placement add this to your head section after the Core
Module has loaded:

<script type="text/javascript">
overlib_pagedefaults(VAUTO);
</script>

However, it does not seem to affect the placement of the popup. I placed the script after the line loading the Core Module. (Line 102 in the default code, assuming that is the line loading the core module). and before the <!--#INCLUDE FILE="header_inc.asp"--> line.

The three lines of code I added do reside outside of the head section. The tip suggests placing it in the head section. I don't want to attempt to modify the code for the ASPProtect application in order to get the overlib_mini.js within the head section to satisfy the tip's suggestion. They didn't write the application and I'm not about to guess.

Do you have any suggestions on where to place this script to have it work or how to keep the "Detailed User Info." popup on screen?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Again, you are so correct.

I modified the mouseover instead. Simply specifying the popup location keeps it on screen. Sometimes it is at the top of the window when the user hovered on is at the bottom, but the popup stays on screen.

In the remote chance another user is wondering the same thing.

Here is the original code (within line 286):
<img border="0" src="../images/note.gif" onmouseover="return overlib('<%= JavaMessage %>',CAPTION, 'Detailed User Info.', FGCOLOR, '#FFFFFF');" onmouseout="return nd();">

Here is what I added:
, RIGHT, BELOW, SNAPX, 10, SNAPY, 10

Here is the result:
<img border="0" src="../images/note.gif" onmouseover="return overlib('<%= JavaMessage %>',CAPTION, 'Detailed User Info.', FGCOLOR, '#FFFFFF', RIGHT, BELOW, SNAPX, 10, SNAPY, 10);" onmouseout="return nd();">

Thanks for your simple honest answers!

I was playing around with this I have found that people might use using these variations of that code change even better... just some small changes

, RIGHT, ABOVE, SNAPX, 10, SNAPY, 10

or

, LEFT, ABOVE, SNAPX, 1, SNAPY, 1
