Mouse over address view

Not sure what the proper term is, but I would like to view the destination of a link when I mouse over it. Some browsers show the destination address at the bottom of the browser window. How do I get Safari to show the same?
Thanks.

Click "Show Status Bar" from the Safari View menu.

Mouse-over Text Viewing doesn't work

When I go to my hosting company's webmail site in Internet Explorer, I can run my mouse over an e-mail subject listing and the first few lines of that e-mail will show up without clicking on the link. When I do it using Safari, nothing pops up so I have to click on each message to see any of the text in the e-mail. (Same thing with Firefox, by the way.) Is there anything I can do, or is it the website's fault (and if it's their fault does anyone know what's wrong)? I have tried both enabling and disabling pop-ups in my preferences, to no avail. I'm pretty sure it's not a pop-up thing, because it's not a new window that opens, rather it's like a flash thing appears.
One thing I noticed, when I mouse-over an e-mail subject in IE, everything works fine. But when I mouse-over in Safari, nothing opens AND the status bar shows the following text:
Run script "openmsg('21','Inbox',%20'message')"
I tried searching the forums and knowledge base but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance!

Hi!
Ok, now I'm a little bit confused
For testing, I deleted all Mouse InputDevices out of my xorg.conf. In ServerLayout I specified the following:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Dell Notebook Keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Now it works all perfectly.
On my laptop I have synaptics touchpad and a external usb wheel mouse. Is it deprecated to specifiy all devices (for example mouse devices) in xorg.conf? I'm consfused, because I thought the synaptics touchpad is a special device which needs complicated configuration ;-)

When I mouse over a hyperlink on a page in 4.0, I can no longer view the URL address in a narrow horizontal bar at the bottom of the page, nor view the "load progress" of the URL when I click on it ... which I could formerly see in the same narrow bar.

In Firefox 3.6 and previous, I could always view the URL of an embedded hyperlink by mousing over the link and checking a narrow horizontal field at the bottom of the web page. When clicked on, that hyperlink would begin loading the desired page, and I could watch as Firefox logged on to the remote server ... at least to the extent of knowing that the server had been contacted and that the page was loading. It's like "flying blind" now -- I can't view either of those things.

Firefox 4.0b7 eliminated the Status bar, it is replaced by the Add-on bar. When you mouse-over a hyperlink, the URL appears in the Location bar to the right of the current URL in slightly faint type. The page loading indicator is on the left side of the Tab, but it doesn't show the progress as before, only that the page is loading (or not).
You can restore the functions of the old Statusbar with the '''Status4Evar''' extension. The three Statusbar items are in the Customize Palette. <br />

I would like to see the actual email address in a Tool Tip when I mouse over the From address

I use Thunderbird to access my IMAP email account with a non-enormous ISP. Thunderbird is a great email client.
One thing I really miss when using Thunderbird vs. going to my email using a browser: in the browser, when I mouse over the From email address, a tool tip pops up showing me the actual email address, not the alias (or whatever it's called). Please see the attached image for an example of the mouse over tool tip. Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird?

more misinformation and urban myths here than facts.
1. Thunderbird blocks remote images by default.
2. Thunderbird does not allow scripts in mail. If they are there they do not run.
3. The only link SPAMMERS or anybody in marketing gets to you is when you download their remote images, run scripts in the mail or click on links to go to their web sites.
4. When I or a spammer send a mail to say [email protected] Most mail servers will refuse delivery unless the address exists on their server.
5. True spammers do not care if a large percentage of the mail they send is to dead email addresses and they make little or no effort to validate active addresses. Corporations like Walmart, Woolworths here in Australia, Ebay and Paypal are very interested.
With that knowledge, you are now aware that opening the mail tells a spammer nothing even in the remote chance they are interested.
Oh and the source of the urban myth is Microsoft whose mail clients allow scripting, remote images and uses the file extension of the file not it's mime type to determine how to open it.
That is the difference between a mail client where the developers think security first and one where the developers give the user what they want and try to tack on security after the fact.

Why does moving the mouse over an IMAQ image display slow the GUI down so much?

I have a large application with several vi's running simultaneously under labview 8.6.1. When I mouse over an image display control in one of the vi's, everything slows down a shocking amount in all the other vi's. The windows task manager does not show a large increase in CPU use. My pc is has a quad cpu with 4GB of RAM, and the CPU and memory loads do not appear to be terribly taxing to the system. However, many of my vi's apparently come almost to a standstill if I just move the mouse in a circle around my image control.
This looks like it is largely a GUI display issue. If I make a new vi and put a while loop in it that only displays the iteration loop number to an indicator, I can see the iterating occurring, then stopping totally when I mouse inside the image display control. When I stop moving the mouse inside the control, or when I move it outside the control, the interation loop number jumps up, as if it had been incrementing behind the scenes the whole time. So only display of the interating was halted.
This problem occurs even if the vi with the image control is not executing. If the vi with the image control is open but not running, and I mouse over the image on it, the other guis all come to a screeching halt.
Does mousing in the image display control really utterly crush all other guis in all other labview windows? Is this an issue inherent to the image display control? If so, is there anything I can do about this?
Also, this issue is not entirely limited to display. I started looking at it in greater detail because this issue also exposed what I think is a race condition in my code. I have a vi that acquires an image from a ccd and puts it into an IMAQ image.ctl. This image then gets passed up to a vi up the call chain, and is put on a queue and sent over to be de-queued by a vi that has the image display control. Here's the kicker: when I mouse over the image display control, the image successfully gets acquired inside the subvi, and if I probe the wire leading to the output IMAQ image display.ctl, I see the image. If I simultaneously probe the wire coming out of the subvi one level up the call chain, the image gets lost about half the time. This only happens if I am mousing in the image display control IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND SEPARATE VI. If I bump up the priority of the ccd image acquisition vi to 'highest priority', the problem only happens about 1% of the time, and I really have to mouse around to make it happen. Still, it's disturbing that mousing in the GUI in one window results in a failure of a separate subvi to simply pass an image up the call chain. I understand that IMAQ images are referenced rather than passed by value, but I don't see why there should be a failure to pass the image up the call chain. I've looked for a race condition, but can't find one.

I have finally been able to replicate the behavior that you are seeing on another computer once the image was large enough. Here are a few notes about this behavior:
First. The UI only slows down when the images are large, 16 bit images. The reason why this is unique to 16 bit images is that they can only be displayed on the front panel as 8 bit images. The workaround that Weiyuan suggested to change the 16 bit display mapping hints towards the root of the problem...that any time a mouse runs over the indicator, Windows asks the entire image to re-draw (having a separate indicator overlapping the image will create the same behavior). With a 16 bit image, not only does the image have to re-draw on the screen but the 16 bit pixels need to be mapped to 8 bits. When setting the 16 bit display mapping to Full Dynamic, this requires mor computation/pixel than 90% dynamic or one of the other mapping schemes.
This is expected behavior if your program is running and you're trying to display a large 16 bit image. To fix this behavior there are a couple options:
Change the 16 bit display mapping to something other than full dynamic. You can choose which 8 bits to display or if you want to map the bits.
Resize the image just for viewing purposes on your front panel (since you aren't going to view every single pixel of you image on the screen). You can use the IMAQ Resample.vi to do this. This will allow you to take your 1500x1500 pixel image and only display a 500x500 pixel version.
If you are interested in viewing small details of the large image, consider just displaying a smaller region of interest at a time.
Let me know if any of these solutions work for you. Good luck on your application.

One more nugget: Chart zoom with the "Mouse Over" effect

Hello all.
Just read my signature first, it might explain a lot. I do not intend to compete with Darren and I don't think this "nugget" (at least it supposed to be one) will amaze any of the LV veterans and this forum is rich of them. But maybe it will bring some new ideas to some of you or maybe it will be useful for some LV beginners (like me). It is very likely, my code will have some lapses, but please be gentle pointing that out to me. If you feel a need, you can always optimize the code and develope it further. Just don't forget to share!
So back to the point.
I am developing a project using LV. In my program there is a waveform chart which has to show 4 plots. Depending on the length of the X Scale, it sometimes gets hard to see the plots clearly because of their density.So I decided that I need a tool, which would zoom the chart in. And this is what I have came up with after a few "Google" searches to check which part of the bike is already invented and also a bit of programming by myself.
Maybe you guys (at least the veterans) know the BetterVIEW Consulting LV example where they have implemented the Mouse Over effect. So a part of their example has been used in this tool and part of the credit must go to them. I thank them a lot
This tool uses a cluster and its property of visibility to show/hide the cluster depending on if the current position of the mouse cursor is in the desired range or not. The program also gets the image of the chart and returns the subset of the image. The subset is taken for the area arounf the mouse cursor. So if you move the mouse, the zoomed in area will also chage in response. After that, the subset of the image is zoomed in for better view.
The user might chage the zoom factor during the execution. Also it is possible to turn the zoom option On or Off if you don't wish to see it for the moment.
This is how the front panel looks like:
And this is the image of the block diagram (see the attached files for the vi, the VI Snippet tool distorts the code too much, so I haven't added it):
I haven't found anything the same in the forum. Yet I'm a newbie here and I don't have that much experience surfing it. If it wouldn't be something new (in the forum, not necessarily to some of you personally), just ignore the thread. I hope this was worth your time and your attention.
Good coding
Message Edited by Giedrius.S on 02-11-2010 12:46 PM
While evaluating my code please have in mind that I am a LV novice. Therefore sometimes my code might violate some coding rules that I have to learn about myself. But how else could I do that...

Very nice Giedrius.
It takes guts to "step up to the chalk board" so I will do what i can to give you some ideas to think about. This is similar to the type of feedback I offer durring our in-house code reviews.
1) The floating property nodes outside the loop are not sequenced by wires so they could execute after the loop starts. Sometimes this could cause weird errors. Seq with the error cluster.
2) Property nodes can be re-sized so you can apply more than one property setting in the same call. Property node have to execute in the UI thread (which is single threaded) so using a single nodes will force a single context switch rather than one for each.
3) Setting the same property repeatedly in a loop just burns CPU. THe Scale min for both X an Y can be moved outside the loop ?
4) THe Wait Until Next ms" function does not get used in any of my code. It is not a way to get a fixed wait but rather a random wait. If you code completes 1 ms after the next multiple, the delay is double less 1 ms. If you have multiple loops using them and it f the delay for each are not unique prime numbers, then the "Wait until next ms multiple" is a good (cough cough) way of getting them all to wake up at the same time and fight for the CPU.
5)An Event Struture to monitor mouse enter/leave and mouse move (this would have to be a sepearte loop) is easier on the CPU than polling.
6) Is that math in the case to handle the Chart position on the FP? If so then using the property nodes for the chart to find its postion will let you code adapt to GUI changes.
7) Right to left wires are not well recieved.
8) A Bundle by Name is prefered over a "Bundle" since it is self documenting. I know the Picture function so I can see that is the rectangle you are specifying but reader not famliar with that function would not be able to "READ" the code without poking at it.
9) THe event structure would also help with setting the Zoom factor. Only poke it when you have to.
That is all that comes to mind at the moment.
Again thank you!

On my own website vdha.us, I am now getting many words that are purple and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens trying to sell something. IE-9 does not do this. How do I turn this off in firefox?

Sirs,
The below URL came up immediately when I tried to access our Newfangled website this morning http://vdha.us :
http://surveyprizecenter.com/survey/claimgift-GT-kw-7b.php?t202kw=Vdha.us&trimmedKeyword=Vdha.us
I prefer to use Firefox and very seldom use IE-9. but now I might be forced to remove Firefox 4.0.1 and resort to using IE-9 because of this situation.
I don’t know how spammers can use our website to exploit their spamming, but I can only imagine the complaints I am going to get from our Board of Directors and members about this.
Can you make them stop, or at least explain how it is that anyone can do this without our permission.
We have never allowed advertisement on our website and don’t plan on starting now.
I am now also getting many words that are purple with two lines under them, and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens automatically trying to sell something. How do I turn this off?
I would appreciate any expediency in the return of an answer that you can provide.
Kindest Regards,

The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

Mouse over - how to select text

Hi all,
I trying to build a function that when the mouse is moved over a text, then that text is selected and some actions are performed. At the moment I am using the g.drawstring() to place the text inside a jPanel, remember the XY coordinate of that text and then, when the mouseMoved event is trigger I compare the mouse position with the original drawing coordinate. It works fine if the string is single character, but it gets very complicated when the string is made up of several words "Hello Java" and I would like to select only the "Hello" or the "Java", as I don't know in advance the XY coordinate of the second word, as the font is not proportional (what I am doing now, is search for the " " and set boundaries of each individual word within the string...a bit cumbersome, but kind of works
My Question is:
is there a better way to place the string on the panel, other than the g.drawstring() that can make reading and identifying much easier? perhaps, placing the string inside some kind of other component which the mouse that 'identify' to be over more easily?
thanks for the help
P.S. I have read some posts, which address specific questions; mine is more a question on best architecture/availability of Java.components/API that can be used to do my task in the best way.

thanks for your reply.
I am basically trying to draw a node and edge pattern, where the nodes are the text strings and the edges are simple lines. posX and posY are the coordinate of where to strings are drawn. Now, what I would like to do is to move the mouse over and highlight (for exampl) the string but only single words, not the whole string (which could be, for exampl, "Hello Java"), so highilighting either Hello or Java, depending on where the mouse is. But I need to place the string (or the JLabel or JText) at specific posX, posY coordinates inside my JPanel.
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
/** SOME CODE*/
Font font = new Font("Arial Unicode MS", Font.PLAIN, 20);
g.setFont(font);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawString(textString panelXSize/2-posX, panelYSize/2-posY);
g.drawLine(panelXSize/2, panelYSize/2,panelXSize/2-posX, panelYSize/2-posY);
}

In WebHelp, when I mouse over a link, the font size changes.

Either after I generate to WebHelp or View in RoboHelp, when I mouse over a hyperlink text, the font changes from large to small text. My step is a 11pt font, my body text is 10pt. It appears the 11 pt. font switches to 10pt font when I mouse over it. Any way to fix this?
Also noticed that when I have a note at 9 pt, and mouse over a link, the text changes to 10pt.
So now it appears in most of my topics with links within a step or note. In a body, the text appears fine (or stays the same) when you mouse over a link.

Not believing that either.
You should be able to edit your CSS in a text editor. If you are not sure what to do, set up a simple project using your CSS. Any text will do and create a link.
See the Contact page on my site and follow the instructions there.

Display of IPTC description during mouse-over in filmstrip

Windows XP SP3, LR3
When you move your mouse over an image in the film strip, you get a temporary popup showing the IPTC title and description fields from the image.
Unless I have missed something, this behavior can not be changed.
This can be a problem when the description field is VERY long. It can cover up a significant portion of the screen and can be very annoying.
I have a number of pictures where I have a VERY long narative about that particular picture. It is annoying as I move over these images in the filmstrip and see huge popups momentarly appear.
There should be some way to either disable this feature, or at least limit the amount of description field that is shown.
Gary

Thank you! I should have thought of that myself. Now that I think about it, I knew that what was displayed there was controlled by what you have set in View options.

Images in Table move on Mouse Over

I made a simple table-based photo gallery.
On mouse-over, a coloured bar appears at the bottom of the selected image. At the same time the image moves upwards slightly, presumably the same distance as the width of the coloured bar.
Depending on the position of the image within the table, either one or more rows within the table move at the same time.
I received some feedback from a viewer that they do not like this movement of the table
Can you suggest any way to make the table more stable, i.e. remain still during mouse-over.
See: http://www.eyta.org.uk/photos.html

First, I don't like table-layouts. They're last century's layout approach. Nobody uses table-layouts anymore. We use CSS floats now.
Photo Layout example:
Alt-Web Templates :: CSS Semi-Liquid, Photo Proof Sheet
Secondly, if you're adding a border on hover, you need to add similar same sized border for the non-hover state. Otherwise the jumping is inevitable owing to how the CSS box-model works.
Example CSS:
a {text-decoration:none; border-bottom: 1px solid #FFF}
a:hover {border-bottom: 1px solid #000}

Xcelsius/Dashboard Design - mouse over capability doesn't work/losing hover

Hello there, I am currently in a tough situation. If any Xcelsius gurus can provide me with a solution, I would very much appreciate your help.
I currently have a dashboard with pie chart component in the default view. It has a radio button with two values. The mouse over doesn't work when the dashboard is loaded. However, when I make a selection in the radio button, the mouse over works for both the options. I have noticed this is a bug but if anyone has a solution or way around it, let me know.
Another issue - I have a 'All' view and 'Region' views in the menu bar. When a user clicks on a particular Region, then clicks all and goes back to a region, I lose the drill down capability on the pie chart thats on the Region view. initially, the mouse over and drill down works fine. However, after going to the All view and coming back to a region, this capability is lost. It acts the same way as the problem above. User can't hover nor drill down. If anyone has a solution to this, let me know.

FYI this is the article on the main forum page:

Creating an interactive CV: mouse over / roll over pop ups, embedded documents and videos

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to Adobe Acrobat Pro and new to this forum (1st post here!). Greetings from Spain... and apologies for grammar mistakes and misleading explanations (in advance). I have been checking this forum and googling quite a bit, but I do not get to many conclusions (maybe I sleep few due to our baby!).
I want to create an interactive CV with the following characteristics:
1) CV in 1 page in a PDF document (no problem here!)
2) Hyperlinks in the text which open embedded files (pdf of others) hidden to the viewer but which are in the pdf document. Possible? (I want the recruiter to receive just one file). Even better if they could be open in another window (doubt it).
How could it be done? I try add documents and they are attached at the end, so the original pdf gets to have more pages, all viewable.
3) Furthermore, mouse over / roll over pop ups which show you a preview of the file you may open clicking the hyperlink, for a quick view of the content.
I think that this may be done, but using other programs, like InDesign. I just try to add a document, but it's sort of a link to a document in my computer. I may add pdf, pps files.
4) Even more, would it be possible to embed a video which would open in a new window? If not, I tried to add a link to youtube and there was a warning as "this program tries to open a window, if you trust the owner... " (similar safety message) and the very last thing I want the recruiter to have to decide whether to decide to watch it or not.
I know its a questions in its very first stages, but the big point is to know if/what it is possible to do, so that I search in the right direction.
If you have any idea or advice (even if not related to PDF pro, of course), just please let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance. I hope this thread may help others.
Cheers,
tebanseeker

Hi Dave,
Thanks a lot for the input.
(3) Right, I could not find either a way using just Acrobat Pro (I'm using XI). Sad thing that you confirm it... But it looks like you may do it using other programs on the PDF, but I don't know to use them. You may take a look at this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEyJuT8SSME (popup rollovers using Illustrator)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOVRMVdZbVE (popup rollovers using InDesign)
(4) I think that embedding would make the file to big, so I may opt for the hyperlink to youtube option, even if I deeply dislike that message, although youtube is a reliable source for the viewer.
Any other input is very welcome. I am pretty illiterate in the field!
Have a nice weekend,
tebanseeker

Frames with link to Struts do not render before mouse over in IE 7.0?

Roll over to view larger image, click to select

Which combined server behaviors or technologies would allow
me to create a dynamic image gallery of thumbnails that when you
roll over any thumbnail image (images are populated via repeat
region recordset behavior), you can view a larger image. Selecting
a thumbnail would select the larger image version.
I do not need to know how to create the thumbnail images
(this would be achieved via aspjpeg with a repeat region applied to
it) but rather how to make it work as explained.
check out
https://www.schooloutfitters.com/catalog/product_info/pfam_id/PFAM898/products_id/PRO987
for an example.

OK so I'm almost there! A little more help if it's not too much trouble.
I've used the "mouse-over to enlarge" example and it seems to be working.
The images sit together top left (ie. the larger image appears over the top of the smaller image and both top left corners of the images sit in the same x and y position - it appears to grow to the right and down!). Can I change this so that the images sit in the same position bottom right and the image grows bigger, up and right?
Alternatively if it's easier I could do "mouse-over and click", but I need the click to open my image in a new window, sized to the image (so I can still see the main page in the original browser window).
Thanks again
