How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

Hi people,
I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
<div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>

  • The "text in a yellow box" that appears when I hover the mouse over a selection or help tag.

    The "help tag" (Or in most cases the unwanted tag)  often is in the way of what I want to look at.
    This is especially true when you are looking at an item that has it's own pop up giving you a description or information.
    When you hold the mouse over say.... a movie icon in XFinity, the icon of the movie expands and gives a brief synopsis, date and actors of said movie. 
    Unfortunately, I cannot read the synopsis for the "Help Tag" blocks all the content forcing you to try different ways of pointing to the movie icon so you can read parts of the discretion from every angle of approach then piece it altogether in your mind.
    I DO NOT want "help tag".  It is extremely annoying and time consuming ergo it des not "help" it hinders.
    Can it not be disabled (Like balloon help in OS 9) so you do not have to feel anger and frustration every time you see that yellow tag?

    Ooo, I did not notice the article was from 2007.  Thansk for pointing that out.  I don't think I am going to try it.  It seems that with all the "little" apps the seem to keep growing in numbers, someone will come up with a solid program that would wok through system prefs.  I would pay the normal $20.00 for an app like that.

    This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

    Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
    From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

  • How do I set the buttons on my website to trigger an iFrame when I hover over them?

    How do I set the buttons on my website to trigger an iFrame when I hover over them?  At the moment they work when I click on them.
    I have tried everything to try and get them to work when I hover over them.
    If anybody could point me in the right direction or give me any help it would be greatly appreciated.

    I think this would pose a major usability issue for touch screen devices that have no mouse and thus don't respond to mouseover/hover.  In that sense, OnClick is much more reliable.   But to answer your question, you would need to invoke the event with JavaScript.

  • Is it possible to hide the yellow box that appears when you scroll over any object in the form?

    Is it possible to hide the yellow box that appears when you scroll over any object in the form? This box contains the item name or caption.

    Hi,

  • How do I delete the "Add-On" pop up box that appears when I start Firefox

    Every time I open Firefox a pop up box appears for add-ons. It is blank and does nothing. I close it and other one appears and I close that, then firefox starts. It's not a big thing, but it's a pain. It does not appear when I start IE8.

    You can try http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can also try to delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

  • Is there a way to make the spell check work on the entire web page without making the content editable? Or at least those boxes that appear when you enable spell check on the entire page, can you make them disappear?

    I found an addon that allows you to spell check on the webpage but it make the entire page editable and these boxes appear on everything i highlight. Can i get rid of the boxes?

    I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged  a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
    There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
    I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround

  • I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 OS, and I want to know how to disable the small window that appears when I hover my mouse over a tab, bookmark, etc.

    Okay, so when I'm using Firefox, say I have multiple window open, I hover my mouse over a window's panel at the bottom of the screen and a small box appears telling me about the webpage on that panel. The same thing occurs when I hover over a tab or a bookmark, it's very annoying and frequently blocks my cursor when I'm trying to work. How can I disable this feature?

    I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.

  • Option for replaceable text in text fields? - as opposed to the box that appears when you hover

    Is there any way I can add text that is seen inside the text field until a user begins to fill in that field? I'm creating a form to use with some of my company's vendors and I need to provide examples or directions for filling in the field and they are just not getting the hover over the text box to see the information.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    You can use a custom Format script like the following for text fields:
    // Custom Format script for text field
    if (!event.value) {
        event.value = "Instructional text goes here";
        event.target.display = display.noPrint;
    } else {
        event.target.display = display.visible;
    Do not place this script anywhere else other than the Format event.

  • What are the boxes that appear when I scroll over them at the top and bottom of a Pages document, and how do I get rid of them?

         While types a blank document on pages, there are "invisible" boxes at the top and bottom of each page, and they only appear when I scroll over them. Does anyone know what these boxes are, and how i can get rid of them from my paper?

    Those are the Header and Footer spaces. You remove them using the Document Inspector. Uncheck the "Headers" and "Footers" checkboxes shown checked here:

  • How can I make the Counter move from inside text box to inside Footer?

    I am tweaking a page. At this point, I cannot move the Counter and the Email Me icon from the bottom of the text box to inside the footer like someone here said he does.
    Why do the Counter and the Email Me icon resist being moved?
    I am in Graphics mode. I never had this problem before.

    Lorna,
    I'm not sure why you can't move it down into the
    footer — by inside the text box, do you mean the page
    "content" or "body" section, or did you somehow get
    the icons into a text box? I know that you can
    "force" a text box into the footer (or header) by
    selecting it, then dragging it while holding the
    command (Apple) key down at the same time.
    Hope this helps.
    Bob
    Bob,
    When I say Text box maybe I am not using the right word. I am referring to that entire space on the page which is dedicated to receiving documents or images. If you have a lot of pictures or words, then that text box/space has to be lengthened to accomodate.
    I am saying that the two icons -- Counter and Email Me -- are sitting (or were sitting. It's morning now and honestly, I can't recall from last night!) at the very bottom of the text box/space.
    I made a Footer (55 pixels) specially to accomodate the Counter and Email icons. The problem, as stated, was/is that those icons would not budge from where they were sitting.

  • How do I set the opacity/transparency of a text box

    Hello,
    I am trying to make a simple applescript to make a "FPO" which will be transparent at 50%
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2014"
      tell active document
      set FPOimage to make text frame with properties {geometric bounds:{".25", ".25", "1.5", "4.2"}}
      set contents of FPOimage to "FPO"
      tell paragraph 1 of FPOimage
      tell paragraphs to set justification to center align
      set point size to 125
      set applied font to "Arial Black"
      set font style of paragraph 1 to "Regular"
      end tell
      tell text frame preferences of FPOimage
      set vertical justification to center align
      set opacity to 50
      end tell
      end tell
    end tell
    BUT ITS NOT WORKING...help?

    I figured it out...
      tell FPOimage
      tell transparency settings
      set properties of blending settings to {blend mode:normal, opacity:40.0}
      end tell
      end tell
    thank god for the internet, i do hope this helps anyone else looking to do the same thing. Next challenge is to make a dialog box so that the user can put any text in it and color they want.
    - Cheers!

  • How to remove text box that appears with a red pin in maps?

    In Apple maps, when I type in an address, it comes up on the map with the address in a text box and a red pin below it.  I've read that you need to delete the address in search to get rid of the red pin.  I want to get rid of the text box so I can see the map around the address I am searching. The text box blocks a lot of the area if you are trying to discern where on a street this address is, etc.   How can I do this?
    thank you,
    Michelle

    Thanks for the idea.  I did it as far as it would go and it is actually covering the area I'm trying to see.
    Knowing that if I clear the search, the area is visible.  However, when I tried it and did some adjustments to the app, changing they view, it jumped back to my home address so I had to start over.  I assumed there was a way to keep the pin so I don't lose my location and clear the text box as we don't need to keep seeing it as it is up in the info bar.  It sounds like this is not designed into the app.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Wish to create an interactive indesign document with moving boxes that grow when hovered over

    Hey guys,
    I am using indesign cs5 to create an interactive flashpage.  We want to have a series of boxes floating around the page and when one of them is hovered over it increases in size.
    We are able to create the floating boxes and by duplicating the boxes and grouping them, we a re able to make them grow.
    However, instead of growing towards the centre of the screen they seem to grow towards and then off the edge of the page.  Would anyone be able to advise me as to how i can force them to grow towards the centre or even create a boundary they cant go over
    I have attached dropbox links to the flash file below
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6338755/Box.swf and

    For what end product? HTML? SWF? PDF? Offset print? (I don't think so, but I might as well ask.)

  • How do you get rid of the drop down box that appears when you go to type in an email address or username?
