newbie question...

(WebDesign) Keywords: web
Sorry if this is terribly mundane, but I'm finally getting into the swing of making my website, and I have a design problem.
I'll try to explain what I'm looking for: I want what looks like two in-line frames on the page, one that contains a number of text links (ie, About, Writing, Links, Email, etc), and the other that appears blank until you roll the mouse over the text of the text links. Then I want a description of the link to show up in the second frame. Normally, I think I'd just use two frames and a target command of some sort (I did it once before), but this time I don't really want the second frame to be a frame. I want it more like a transparent (invisible) table cell where the background of the main page can show through. I just want it there as a blank spot so that words can show up there on mouse-over of my text links.
Am I coherent? It's late. maybe not. Anyway! If anyone knows what I'm on about and can help, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
