            position: absolute;
            left: 100px;
            top: 100px;
            width: 100px:
            height: 20px;
            padding: 5px;
            background-color: red;
            visibility: hidden;
        }

    </style>



<script>


   function showcontact(element)
    {
                var contactdiv = document.getElementById('contactdiv');



                x = element.offsetLeft;
                y = element.offsetTop;

                contactdiv.style.left = x + 170;
                contactdiv.style.top = y + 30;

                contactdiv.style.visibility = 'visible';
            }


            function hidecontact()
            {
                var contactdiv = document.getElementById('contactdiv');
                contactdiv.style.visibility = 'hidden';

Naimathullah,

The easiest approach by far would be to set an alt attribute in the img tags.

However, if you want a custom mouseover effect, try the following.

Build the HTML like this:

print "<p><img class=\"realtor\" src=\"images/$image_file\" data-name=\"$fullName\" /><br />$firstname</p>\n";

And the corresponding javascript is :

window.onload = function() {
    var contactdiv = document.getElementById('contactdiv'),
        calculator = document.getElementById("calculator"),
        images = calculator.getElementsByTagName("img");
    function showcontact() {
        contactdiv.style.left = this.offsetLeft + 170;
        contactdiv.style.top = this.offsetTop + 30;
        contactdiv.innerHTML = this['data-name'];
        contactdiv.style.visibility = 'visible';
    }
    function hidecontact() {
        contactdiv.style.visibility = 'hidden';
    }
    for(var i=0; i<images.length; i++) {
        if(images[i].className == 'realtor') {
            images[i].onMouseover = showcontact;
            images[i].onMouseout = hidecontact;
        }
    }
};

Alternatively, with the jQuery library installed on the page, the javascript would be :

$(function() {
    var contactdiv = $("#contactdiv").hide();
    $("#calculator").on({'mouseover': function() {
            var $this = $(this),
                offset = $this.offset(),
                name = $this.data('name');
            contactdiv.css({'left':offset.left+170, 'top':offset.top+30}).html(name).show();
        }, 'mouseout': function() { contactdiv.hide(); }
    }, "img.realtor");
});
