I hope nobody thinks I'm an idiot for asking this, but I can't figure out how to configure the calendar so that when you mouse over a link for a post on the calendar, it shows a tooltip withe the title of the post as if you put a title="blah" in the <a href> So what i'm saying is that I want to but can't do this:

I worked a previous hack that did something similar - it was pretty easy to modify it to do this.

Example

I'll package up a zip file and make it available on my site.

It should be noted that IE and Mozilla/Netscape handle line breaks in the title attribute differently. IE will wrap the tooltip at line breaks which is very convenient but against the HTML standard. Netscape/Mozilla shows a funny character where the line break is so I put in a ", " for non-IE browsers to separate the post titles from the same day.

Yep, that is what I did as well - I think it makes the calendar a really nice part of the blog instead of just kind of being there, looking nice, but adding nothing of real value.

I guess I should package THAT up at some point too... ugh Smile

Ok, posted a "Calendar Plus" that has both hacks, plus more steamlined code and options to turn the features on and off.
