I am trying to implement a feature i have been seen around lately. When a mouse hovers on a div/image some text is rendered on it. How can this be achieved using rails ? also what exactly is this feature called ? Just like this site.

1Have you examined the page you linked to to see how it works? I'd guess that it is just an absolutely positioned `` on top of the image that is bound to a hover.– mu is too short Aug 25 '13 at 00:29

It's a roll-over, created easily using JavaScript. This isn't a Rails thing, though Rails could serve a page containing that JavaScript. – the Tin Man Aug 25 '13 at 01:44

@Joshua I've removed the `ruby` and `ruby-on-rails` tags; this question has nothing to do with either of those technologies. – deefour Aug 25 '13 at 02:35

The thing about web programming is that you need to know html, css, javascript, and a server side language like ruby (ruby-on-rails). You don't create rollovers with rails. You create rollovers with either css or javascript.
css: http://accessibility.psu.edu/rollovers
js: How to show hidden divs on mouseover?
css and javascript are both things that can go in a web page.
jQuery is a library that can make programming javascript easier.
