  Hello. I am new to wordpress and am trying to learn how to use xml. For my first lesson I am trying to figure how to use this bit http://wow.allakhazam.com/dev/wow/item-xml.pl?witem=9470.

  I am thinking with xml is how this guy made it so when he hovered his mouse over an item, it displays the info. Example: http://www.frostbolt.com/.

  Any help in telling me how he did this would be greatly appreciated to the fullest degree.

  Nope, what makes it to display the info is not XML but JavaScript which is not allowed here at wordpress.com for security reasons.

  If you wanna do something like in the example you’re giving, you’re better off downloading the software at wordpress.org and host your blog elsewhere. Then, you’ll be able to do all this kind of stuff.

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks for the info. Did not notice he was hosting his own until you said so. Thanks, I suppose I can live without the feature.
