Pop up text boxes on mouseovers

I'm looking for an easy way (and the easiest tool to use
between Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash [and I'm guessing
'Fireworks']...or maybe Flash---I have Studio MX2004) to create not
a 'pop-menu', but 'a Pop-Up TEXT box' on a mouseover event.
For example, please perform the following steps to see what I
would like to do:
1)Google 'Product Demos'
2)Click on 'Blackberry' link at top of list 3)A selection of
product thumbnails appears...click on any product link 4)A Flash
presentation loads....Click on 'Interactive Views' in the lower
right-hand corner.
5)Go to the upper left-hand corner and click on 'Included
Applications' to see the text pop-ups activated when you mouse over
parts of a graphic (in this case, each icon)....AND THEN...click on
the next one in the list, 'Handheld Features' to see text pop up
boxes activated once you mouse over the textual captions (or
pointers).
This is the effect I would like to achieve when a user mouses
over a section of a figure or illustration, or over a textual
caption itself.
Thanks!

  • How to create pop-up text boxes?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if it's possible to make pop-up text boxes/windows in iBook Author? For instance, I can click on a text on the layout and a window pop-up with another text, in my case, they're references/citations. If this isn't possible in iBook Author, is there work-around for this, preferably, in iBook Author itself instead of creating widgets/imagest for every instance of the references. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Hoa

    The glossary offers this capability. However, using it for that purpose might be a bit confusing, especially if you also have "real" glossary entries.
    I'm not aware of any other way to create a pop-up.

  • Creating 3 links each with pop-up text box on the same slide

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a slide that has 3 links and each link has a pop-up text box. I do not want to separate the pop-up text into separate slides. I have it so that there are 3 click boxes and each have the action "show" the proper text box. I also created another click box that acts as a close button where the action is to hide the pop-up box. I have an extra click box hidden on the page to make sure the user stays on the page and not automatically advance.
    Once I have the user click on the first "link" it shows the text box. Once the user clicks the close click box it takes the user to the next slide. I just need it so that it shows the user the pop-up text and then when the user closes the pop-up and returns to showing the 3 options/links. So it basically refreshes the slide instead of going to the next slide.
    Thanks,

    This will be a little tricky to achieve. This is because per default Adobe has decided that any interactive object (like a button or a click box) that has a user defined action on it (like continue, pause, open URL etc.) automatically continues to play the project when clicked.
    Therefore when you click your button it will show your textbox, but it will also continue to play on your timeline.
    You can read some more about it here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/479725?tstart=0
    I did something similar to what you want one time and I just created a bunch of click boxes and made them very small and put them in a corner. The click boxes were placed on the timeline with 0.2 seconds between the pauses. Then I created my "real" buttons to show/hide the text boxes and placed them on the timeline before the other click boxes.
    The result is that once a user clicks your button it will show the text caption you want - continue on the timeline and pause at the first click box. When they click another button the same will happen. Just make sure that you have a lot of click boxes (I think I put like 30) and make sure that your navigation button for advancing to the next slide is set to "go to next slide" and not "continue" as that would make it pause at all your click boxes as well.

  • How can I add an image to my pop up text box built in Fireworks?

    Hello all,
    I have already built my page (a map) with all the pop up text boxes in Fireworks and imported them into my Dreamweaver page, but I would like to add an image in that same pop up box as well as the text. I tried going back to Fireworks and editing the pop up box, but there is no option for adding an image alongside the text. Is there a way I can go into the code and add the image? This is a line of code for one of the pop up boxes:
    <td rowspan="4"><a href="javascript:;" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore();MM_menuStartTimeout(0)" onmouseover="MM_menuShowMenu('MMMenuContainer1016121037_0', 'MMMenu1016121037_0',25,23,'Plaza_map_r11_c6');MM_swapImage('Plaza_map_r11_c6','','Plaza_ map_r11_c6_f2.jpg',1);"><img name="Plaza_map_r11_c6" src="Plaza_map_r11_c6.jpg" width="30" height="28" border="0" id="Plaza_map_r11_c6" alt="" /></a></td>
    I'm trying to avoid rebuilding the whole thing in another program! Thanks very much in advance.
    Pam

    If you have more than one of these, then I would add a class rule to your css style sheet
    .fltleft     {
         float:left;
    }.fltright     {
         float:right;
    Then add this rule to your image.
    <img name="Plaza_map_r11_c6" src="Plaza_map_r11_c6.jpg" class="fltleft" width="30" height="28" border="0" id="Plaza_map_r11_c6" alt="" (add new image here) ?>
    This will position your image to the left in the container. You can then add the fltright in the same way.

  • Pop up text box

    I want to be able to press a button on my page and a small
    text box will pop up. I don't want anything to change on the page
    just a small text box poping up beside the button on top of the
    page. Dose anyone know how i can do this.

    Here is one suggestion: look at this web page and read the
    customization settings. I believe it will do what you want. I love
    it and it is free, unless you care to make a donation! This is call
    "Tool Tip".
    http://www.walterzorn.com/tooltip/tooltip_e.htm#download
    Here is what I did with it. (Click on one of the photos, then
    hover over items in the next page. IE is a little spotty in
    performance, FF is excellent.)

  • Black pop up / text box

    I suddenly have a black & white pop up or text box appearing on my Mac. It seems to describe in the text field every action I make on the computer including what I am typing. At the same time if I am on a webpage it highlights each cell or window describing what it contains and makes it impossible for me to scroll through the page always popping back to where it is highlighting. I suspect my three year old is responsible for this! Please help if you can.

    Turn off VoiceOver in the Universal Access or Accessibility pane of System Preferences.

  • How to do pop-up text box like this?

    On 1-800-Flowers website home page if you hover over the thumbnails a text box pops up in the the bottom right corner, is there an action in GoLive that can do something like this? It's nice how they have everything in one cell and when doing a onmouseover it does the "shadowOver(event,this)".

    Thanks,

    Is it possible to just have a text message pop up in a box (table) onmouseover? Such as:
    http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/popinfo2.htm
    I've been working with this script but it is required to have this javascript within the head.
    Thanks,

  • HTML Snipit? Pop Up text Box?

    I'm having trouble finding an HTML widget that will pop up a small text box, not a whole new window, on mouseover.
    I my blog, when you mouseover a term, a small text box pops ups with a definition - kind of like a op up footnote.
    Thanks

    Do you mean the fact that iWeb snippet creates iframe on page so it's limited by boundaries? Meaning you can create the title text for mouseover but it will get cut off by the boundaries of the iframe that html snippet creates on the page.
    The previous issue with boxover is that the script needs to be set in the head of the page which requires post-publish editing.
    Anchors. Iweb can't do anchors....unless you want to edit code.
    On a side note:
    I don't really know what the un-related issue of anchors has to do with this thread.

  • Pop-Up Text Box on Hover of Text

    I've been looking for a solution on how to make a box of text pop-out (but not into a seperate window, just to sort of appear) when someone hovers/puts their mouse on a line of text.
    The box would disappear when they move their mouse off the text... or is their a way to make it appear in it's own box if they do actually click on it too?
    I know there is the rollover image function but I can't figure out how to manipulate it to do what I need.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can I add specific text to Template via pop up text box on opening file?

    In most word processors it is possible to create a template that asks you for specific text when you open it, so that you can have the letter three quarters written within the template, and only need to replace names, addresses, date and so on.
    In Lotus WordPro for instance, before I even see the file, I have to fill in a dialogue box with the persons name, the subject of the letter, and four or five specifics unique to them. The WP then adds this info into the letter, and all I need do is to occasionally write a further full paragraph.
    How do I do this in Pages? I can't seem to find anyway to do it at all. I have a suspicion I might need Apple Script, but I'm not sure how I can do that. I have a book of how to code, but I don't know where to store the macro, nor to write it yet - the book's just there if I need it.
    I want to open the file, and then be asked one item at a time for the personalised answers to questions that occur in every report/letter.
    Any ideas?
    TIA
    Mac

    Thanks for your suggestions, Magnus, you really have had a good think for me - I appreciate that!
    What I am doing is report writing in which 90% of the report is the same for everyone. Except the cover page with Name and Address details, and Report title; the initial section which is the same for everyone except for specifics such as amount to invest, reason for investment, term to invest over, things like that.
    The end of the report is the recommendations section which is where I use freetext to create a bespoke solution - this cannot be automated.
    Just automating the cover page and the intro section save me huge amounts of time which I can then use on research and fund analysis, leaving the principles of investment section pretty much the same for everyone, as here I'm describing the principle and theory.
    After I created this Report Template my average report creation time went down from about 3 to 4 hours, to about 45 minutes. I guess the automation itself doesn't save as much time as the templating does, but it allows me to concentrate on the important bit and not worry if I have left something out - or in - that changes the overall thrust of the report.
    I cannot load Lotus WorpPro on Parallels, nor on Virtual PC, so the lack of automation really is a pain here. I see it as a weakness of Apple products for business, as I am sure Microsoft do which is why they have dropped VBA support for Office 2008.
    I have got NeoOffice as well as OpenOffice for Mac on my system, but really they aren't atable enough to use, and the formatting is pretty flaky. It certainly isn't completely consistent with Office itself.
    So, I am left with the conclusion that progress only means a reduction in features!
    But maybe I'm missing something?

  • Is there a way to create a link within a document that will pull text from the document and open it up in a separate text box within the document?

    I am trying to link sections of an form within a PDF back to instructions within the same PDF document.  Instead of having this jump back to the page within the document I would like for it to pull up the identified text within a separate pop-up text box on the same page where the form lives.  Is this possible?

    Hi gwebster,
    Instead of linking back to the instructions page, may be you can use tool tips or comments so that the instructions can be seen besides the text.
    Regards,

  • How to pop-up a text box for a grid item on a user defined table?

    Hello,
    I have a user defined table with a grid & one of the columns is for comments. What I'm trying to do is to pop up a text box when double clicking in the column field. This would be the same as the Item Details column in the Sales Order ittems grid.

  • 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>

  • How do I back-link to a text box, pop-up, or sidebar?

    I can make a hyperlink from a text box, pop up window, and sidebar to a bookmark, but can't make a return link to any of these? Is it just not possible, or did I miss something.
    Thanks.

    I don't know what you mean by "unique link/bookmark pairs." I believe all bookmarks are unique.
    You just said what I said.... Thanks for confirming.
    A bookmark needs a link to work. A link needs a bookmark to work. Those two things create a unique pair that work together. A & B. To B from A.
    Are you asking how to back-link or how to bookmark?
    You cannot create A & B and then expect the user to do: A ▶ B ▶ A
    If you want B ▶ A, you need to create another pair: C, D
    Put C next to B and D next to A, then the user can do: C ▶ D, which in effect takes them from B back to A.
    Now you have two unique pairs: A/B & C/D
