Enabling alt-text pop ups

While I generally use Firefox, one of the features I find useful in Internet Explorer 8 is that "alt text" appears as a small popup on mouse-over. I've searched Firefox and Firefox Help to see if there was a feature that could be enabled for this, but have not found any references at all to alt-text. Can Firefox show "alt text"? If not, is there an add-on? If not, please submit this as a suggested feature to add in future releases.

title= was introduced later for images, and Firefox being the stickler for standards will show the title but not the alt="descriptive text"
The alt= is what shows if the image does not appear (no found, for instance),, it was/became a requirement because it supposedly would help blind people read the pictures -- that was dropped (there are better methods) and so was the requirement that alt= be always used. The two are not the same thing.
If you want to show Alt= in addition to titles there is an extension, it is messy and I believe one I tried placed a tooltip that couldn't be dismissed once you moused over it -- I'm sure it improved or others have done better. Anyone writing code now should certainly be using title.

  • Problem while creating text pop-ups in image maps

    Hi,
    I need to create a text pop-up on an image, on mouse hover. I tried creating bookmarks to link with the image map and it worked. The problem is when I click on the text pop-up in the image, it goes to the bookmark (which is created in a separate topic), but I don't want it to go to the bookmark which is in a different topic. Is it possible to stay on the image itself without going to the bookmark?
    Regards,
    Latha

    Hello again
    The option I mentioned would indeed work inside a CHM.
    There is possibly a way to accomplish what you are wanting, but to do it would require lots of JavaScripting. The simple fact you are asking if it can be done suggests that you aren't comfortable working with JavaScript.
    Cheers... Rick

  • One large picture needs several text pop-ups

    My main menu is going to be a single large painting of which the different parts of it will, when clicked, navigate to other pages. This part works fine.
    What I am having trouble with is labeling the parts.
    I know that roll-over images only work one-for-one, so I can have exactly one text box rising above the image. The trouble is, there are seven parts of the painting that need to be so identified. I tried dividing up the image but the seams show - they look terrible. I am hoping I could get suggestions from this forum.
    Thank you so much.

    Hi Zander,
    first: your website works fine in my IE8. Your: "What I am having trouble with is labeling the parts." I don't understand in the right way, I'm sure: Do you want that people can see your hotspot fields or not?
    If yes, you could draw lines (I used a thin red) into your "main_index.jpg". After that, you can overdraw them with your hotspots to facilitate visitors search.
    If not, there was a thread some days before about the visibility of hotspot borders in a browser. The unanimous opinion was, that you shouldn't remove them.

  • Since I uploaded Firefox 4.0 on my iMac, I get a lot more pop-ups. Pop-up blocker is enabled and the pop-ups are coming from Firefox (that is, there is a star in the location bar). Any ideas how to get rid of this nuisance? Thanks!

    I am running OS 10.6.7 on an iMac.

    Yes, I'm using the default theme.
    I've only installed some add-ons. Everything else is as it is upon initial installation of FF4.0.
    Apart from the "Status-4-Evar" add-on, I'm using the same set of add-ons as I had in Firefox 3.6, again just the default theme, and had no issues with stretched icons.
    I've tried turning "hardware acceleration" on and off, but it makes no difference, the stretching will occur either way.

  • How Do I STOP pop ups FROM enabled when I Have disabled them to pop up it happens when I am workin on an important document a real pain

    I have i web based stock system and it requires pop ups I have enabled for the pop ups and things work fine the all of a sudden my pop ups are blocked and the only way to continue I have to reboot my computer

    Hello fisherman66,
    Firefox usually doesn't block pop-ups, especially if you allow them, but extensions and some security software can block pop-ups.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Glossary tab doesn't display and Glossary pop ups don't work

    TCS 3.5 (FrameMaker 10, RoboHelp HTML, version 9)
    Windows XP version 5.1 sp3
    Internet Explorer 8.0
    My apologizes if this should be in a different forum.  Also, from searching I have found that the problem is usually that the DLL has not been loaded -- I have done that. So I am at a loss. Thanks in advance for your help!
    Problem: My .chm output does not have a Glossary tab and the Glossary text pop-ups in my topics do not work.
    Background: Since I am new to TCS 3.5 I'm going to give my entire process. Quite frankly I'm not even sure if my entire process is correct.
    Steps:
    Before I began: I loaded the HHActiveX.dll. Here's the proof:
    Create a blank project.
    Import master page (File > Import > Master Page).
    Load project settings (File > Project Settings > Import).
    Link FrameMaker Book (File > Link > FrameMaker Document)
    Configure Properties (Right-click the book file in RH and click Properties).
    In Properties, select Convert FrameMaker Table of Contents and give a name.
    In Properties, select Convert Glossary and give a name.
    In Project Manager pod, right-click the Glossary topic (System Management GLO) and click Set as Default.
    Update Project (File > Update > Update All).
    Run Glossary Hotspot Wizard (when running wizard, select the glossary topic that was set as default in step 8)
    Edit the UpdateMarkedGlossaryTerms.jsx script (change the GlossaryName variable to the Glossary topic created in step 8 and change the GlossaryStyle variable to TextPopUp)
    Run Update Marked Glossary Terms script (In Script Explorer pod, right-click the UpdateMarkedGlossaryTerms.jsx script and click Run).
    Run graphicinreferencepages.jsx script (this inserts my note graphics from FM reference pages)
    Configure Microsoft HTML Help layout.  Here's the properties file:
    16. In the properties file I selected the Glossary topic that I had set as my default in step 8.
    17. Click Save and generate.
    Result: In the .chm file (and in View Selected Item in RH) when I click a glossary term in a topic, I get "This program cannot display the webpage". Also, the Glossary tab is not displayed.

    Welcome to our community, Linda
    In RoboHelp, if you open the Glossary pod (View > Pods > Glossary > Select Glossary) do you see terms and definitions listed there?
    If not, that would explain it as the Glossary has no entries.
    Assuming it does have entries, you may simply need to enable the tab by clicking View > Pods > Project Set-up. Expanding the Windows section in the pod and double-clicking your CHM window.
    A CHM window looks like this:
    If you don't see a CHM window, you will need to create one. If you do see a CHM window, double-click it. Then ensure the Glossary is enabled.
    Keep us posted! Rick

  • Ugly pop-ups in RH7 on Safari and Firefox

    I have text popups in my RoboHelp 7 project (webhelp). I
    upgraded the project from RH5. The webhelp I'm doing
    is for Safari and Firefox running on a Mac. The text popups
    display ok on Firefox
    (except that the popup box isn't self-sizing). The popups
    also display
    on Safari, but in addition to not being self-sizing, each
    popup
    displays a label at the top, which is the name of an htm file
    that
    RoboHelp 7 apparently created. (I can see these files in my
    Help
    project even though I didn't intentionally create them.) Has
    anyone
    encountered this? Any ideas about how to fix the appearance
    of
    text pop-ups in Safari?

  • IPad letter pop-ups

    can you enable to letter pop-ups when using the iPad (like the iPhone keyboard does)?

    Do you mean the hidden keys? I have no idea what you are asking really but if you mean the hidden keys like when you tap and down on the "e" for instance and you get other options - yes it works on the iPad.

  • Open comment pop-ups for highlighted text (on Adobe Reader for Android)

    On my computer, I use the software Docear which allows to import highlighted text and comments from pdf documents. This function in Docear only works, if the reader copies highlighted text into the comment fields at the moment of highlighting. When using a reader on a PC, the settngs can be adjusted in order that this works. (Preferences>Commenting>Automatically open comment pop-ups for comments other than notes).
    It would be very practical for me to do this on my tablet (Android). However, as far as I know, this is not possible in the Adobe Reader for Android. Or is there any possibility to do this? If not,would it be possible to include this on a wishlist?

    Hi,
    This functionality is not available for Adobe Reader on Android. However, we have made a note of the same and shall try to incorporate it in one of our future releases.
    Thanks,

  • General protection fault with alt-tabbin​g and pop ups

    Hi,
    This is probably a case of me doing something I shouldn't, but I figured out a while ago that I could get resizable modal pop ups by doing something like this:
    SetPanelAttribute(panelHandle2, ATTR_SIZABLE, 0);
    InstallPopup(panelHandle2);
    SetPanelAttribute(panelHandle2, ATTR_SIZABLE, 1);
    This is almost certainly a hack, but it seems to work and I get modal pop ups that the user can resize and maximize.  However, the run-time engine does not seem to like this, and I am getting general protection faults when alt-tabbing between the main application window and the pop up (which both have taskbar buttons).  The address where it crashes, at least on my computer, is 0x684F5E34 which is in cvirte.dll.  This also seems to crash in the release configuation.
    I've attached a small sample application.  In order to see the problem, launch the application, open the Pop Up, and alt-tab a few times between the two windows.  On my development PC this will generate a general protection fault after a few times (often the first time).  I'm running CVI 2012SP1 on a Windows XP Pro PC.
    Any insight would be helpful.  Thanks.

    What I don't understand is how you can switch between main and popup panel since the latter is displayed with InstallPopup: I never succeed in getting focus to the main panel when the popup is active, and it is not even listed among windows in alt-tab procedure. If I select the main window in taskbar, the popup immediately comes up and gets the focus.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • How do you re-enable pop-ups on an email account?

    I recently disabled pop ups by error on an e-mail that was taking me to Sign in page. Now it redirects it.

    Hello,
    Try doing this:
    Type about:config in the address bar
    Search dom.disable_open_during_load and set it to false
    To re-enable the Pop-up blocker, set dom.disable_open_during_load to true
    Hope this helps!

  • We are still getting pop-ups even though we have the pop up blocker enabled via tools

    pop ups continue - enabler is enabled through options. we just got a
    warning "to display this page, firefox must send information that will repeat any action ( such as search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

  • How do I enable pop-ups -- generally or for a particular site. (Tablet version 9 or 10)

    I have a corporate page that requires pop-ups to load. Actually it requires two pop-ups to load. So stock android 3.2 and Dolphin both choke with a "cannot open second pop-up window" message even after pop-ups are enabled.
    I'd like to see if Firefox for tablets will work, but I can't get past even permitting the first pop-up.

    When the site tries to launch a pop-up and Firefox's Show/Always/Never page appears in the background, a message appears in the foreground - "The page at ... says: The session manager window failed to open because your Web browser is configured to block pop-ups."
    When I click OK in that foreground box, that box and the background Show/etc page disappear. I.e., I never get to say, "trust pop-ups for this site."
    Is there any way to do this manually?
