Viewing hover over text opens more text detail

hover over text opens more text detail



User: Susan R. 4 years ago
Is there a way to let a user hover over a word or phrase and have it open a box that offers more detail? I'm looking for something like "Comments" in Review mode in Microsoft Word. For example, I am listing names of workshops and would like users to be able to hover over a workshop title and see what that workshop is about.
Thank you!

The item you are referring to is called a tooltip. In its simplest form, the browser will display the text entered into the title element of an HTML tag when it is hovered. Probably the best way to do this is via a styled <mark> tag with a title attribute .

The styles to paste into the Head Code box in the Page inspector...

<style>
mark{padding:2px 5px;background:#888888;color:#FFFFFF}
mark:hover{color:#00FFFF;background:#000;cursor:pointer}
</style>

... and the HTML

Hover <mark title="More info about something">THIS TEXT</mark> for more info.

I used to make widgets that appeared as styled tooltips when text was hovered or clicked but these are now redundant. Hover tooltips are pretty much useless nowadays since over 60% of you visitors will be using touch devices which don't do hovers.
