Tooltip widget?

Anyone know of a widget for use in iBooks Author that allows the author to create tool tip links for specific words or phrases in your book? I have seen something similiar to this on many web sites over the years. You can mouse over a word and get a tool tip that displays a definition, etc. about whatever you moused over...
I am wondering if anyone has ever done this before, or knows how to? If so, please share how. Thank you!

I can imagine a widget that had javascript mouseovers for it's own content, if that's what you're asking - remember you’ll need to make sure that they work for both touch and mouse operation.

  • How can I use the tooltip widget on individual images in my thumbnail gallery?

    Hey guys
    I've got a client that is insisting on not having the caption text visible on each picture unless you could click or hover over a little information button. But I can't get the tooltip widget inside an individual image's lightbox (hope this makes sense). I have very little coding knowledge and was hoping someone would have the answer to this?

    Does no one have an answer to this Was hoping that someone could save me on this dilemma.
    A side question, has anybody used a different gallery with muse before?

  • Tooltip widget text shadow dissapears

    When typing text over one of the tooltip widgets section, the text shows up, but the shadow on the text is missing.  . 
    Is there any way to get the text shadow to propely appear when its over a tooltip section?  (it works over just the general page)
    thanks!

    Hi Renee
    The image that you are trying to change is a simple image inserted in tooltip, you would need to replace the image using assets panel.
    I have tried to explain here , created a short video for you :

  • IFrame hack for IE6 in Tooltip Widget

    The iFrame, that is called up in IE6 to cover form elements
    doesn't seem to get placed right.
    Obviously, this issue has to be viewed with IE6 since that's
    the only browser that uses the iFrame hack built into the Tooltip
    Widget.
    The following page shows some samples but the iFrame always
    shows in the wrong place:
    http://www.onuma.com/plan/test.html
    The only way the iFrame almost matches, is when I place the
    div tag containing the tooltip right behind the bold text:
    http://www.onuma.com/plan/test2.html
    I actually noticed that Adobe's
    Sample
    Page has the same problem but since the background is white and
    the page is pretty long, one doesn't notice it. When you look at
    the page with IE6 and you scroll over one of the tooltip texts, you
    can notice the scroll bar on the right of the browser window
    slightly moving. That's because the iFrame gets pushed into the
    bottom of the page.
    Is there any way to get this iFrame positioned correctly?
    Thank you,
    Thomas

    Has anybody used the Tooltip Widget and tested it with IE6
    with the standard SpryTooltip.js and SpryTooltip.css? Would it be
    possible to show some examples?
    I'm having difficulties with the position of the iframe that
    is displayed to cover certain form fields in IE6. This becomes
    especially apparent when the background isn't white and/or the
    trigger is a bit wider since the iframe seems to get positioned
    always in the same relative position to where I add the div tag (or
    at the bottom of the page if I don't use absolute positioning).
    If anybody can provide me with a sample of the Tooltip Widget
    being used on a page with non-white background or even with form
    fields it would be very much appreciated.
    I'd much rather ignore IE6's buggy behavior too but too many
    users are still using it...

  • Muse tooltip widget

    I have inserted a tooltip widget on the home page of a website www.guidetothelakes.co.uk mid-way on the left. if you hover over the widget it opens as it should, click on one of the entries and it takes you to the relevant page. All Okay. Now if you click on the back button of the browser, (Safari) the widget is still open until you click around and then it dissapears, not as it should. If when on the page entered via the widget and you click on the Lakes & Cumbria menu button to go back, the widget is closed as it should be.
    Am I doing something wrong, the settings are set to close on roll out of trigger and target.
    Does any one have any idea's
    Thanks, James.

    This fault does seem to just apply to Safari web browser, so I think all is okay with the Muse side of things.

  • Muse tooltip widget has problems

    I’m placing a graphic with states in the trigger area of a tooltip widget. The tooltip pop up shows up correctly in preview or preview in web browser modes, however the trigger does not allow a user to see the icon states, nor can the user click through to go to the link and to achieve rollover, or click, or active states.

    This fault does seem to just apply to Safari web browser, so I think all is okay with the Muse side of things.

  • Help! Slideshow made w/Tooltip Widget: Triggers stop the autorotation

    I made my first slider/slideshow with the Tooltip widget. It works great, the four panels are in rotation every 6 seconds. BUT... if I click a "back" or "next" arrow, or the circular triggers I have at the bottom of the slider, the panel goes to the panel I wish to see, but then the animation stops autoplaying, which I don't want it to do. I don't see a setting to prevent this. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I did some more digging and I found a few threads in this forum that describe my issue, and they say that's how it is, and currently there's no option to resume auto play except for reloading the page in the browser. Still I would guess there's some code hack that could be inserted into the script, but I have no idea how to do that. Kind regards-

  • Tooltip widget - fonts display/preview as italic

    Tooltip widget - i am using web fonts such as helvetica and arial and applying Bold, but when you preview or the site is live they display as italic...why?

    hi there attached images the Muse text is stacked callouts. also, when the user rollsover the 3 "menus" at the bottom (out travel, about travel & contact us) they get 3 different callouts but the last one stays open, anyway to make that disappear without a close box? thanks

  • "Close" button in Tooltip Widget not working

    HI, I hope I'm not doing something stupid here...
    It's my understanding that choosing "Stay On Rollout" in the trigger options for a widget and adding a "Close Button" would basically give you tooltip that fades in and stays open until the close button is clicked—fading it back out. If this thinking is correct than the functionality is broken in the Tooltip widget. Running Mac OsX 10.7.3

    Muse support staff answered this almost 8 months ago on their old support wiki.
    http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse/topics/close_button_doesnt_work_on_any_widgets
    Close button does not work, they realize that but just haven't come out with a fix yet.  There is a messy work around - you kindof have to hack your tooltip widget a bit. But here is the explanation below:
    I found a wonky work-around. Instead of closing, I put a next button and made the second tooltip blank. With the type tool, I changed the ">" for next to a "x" and made it the same color as the background so it would disappear into the background after "closing".

  • 'Tooltip' widget in phone view menu

    I'm looking for a tutorial that uses 'Tooltip' widget for instead of the accordion.
    I want to set the button as the trigger and in the target just add a regular Muse menu, but can't figure it out.
    If you can think of an alternative i would look at that too: open to ideas but I don't like where you need to go back and flip the accordian panel closed.
    Many thanks!

  • Tooltip Widget: A forgotten widget!

    I wonder what the Muse developement team did with the tons of request made in the previous beta forum. Did they got stolen or lost, because am still amazed that even bugs observed and incomplete development features noticed and mentioned in the forum was thrown out See this link:
    http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse/topics/tooltip_mega_menu_problem
    http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse/topics/tooltip_widget_doesnt_disappear_with_on_click_op tion_selected
    and the official release. No effort was made to correct or improve on it. Even when a beta tester defended the team
    http://support.muse.adobe.com/muse/topics/toolitip_widget_tripping
    The tooltip widget was not updated or corrected especially the close button bug.

    Oops, the page cannot be found.
    Yeah I noticed this too.  I'm sure they have their hands tied with defined roadmaps provided by the executive/core teams at Adobe - nontheless Muse has slipped through the cracks in a very unstable fashion.

  • Is there a way to combine the best of slideshow and tooltip widgets?

    I am trying to produce a sliding menu similar to the "Now Playing" movies listed on this website : http://themoviehouse.com/   
    where you can mouse over and a box pops up and stays up so that you can click links within the box. The catch is that I need this box to disappear when the mouse is not on it so that content behind the box is again visable.
    I have seen this on so many websites so I assume can build this in Muse.
    Obviously with tooltip the box does not stay open. With a slideshow, the box does not disappear when you are done.
    Is there a way to combine the two or is there another widget that allows me to create what I am looking for?

    Install the Apple Configurator (osx only) and it will cache the iOS update on there after it's been installed once.  From then on each device you plug-in will take the update from Apple Config without having to download it.  I have this setup on a macbook air and it saves me a lot of time.
    The updates are device specific so make sure you update one iPhone 4, one 4S, one 5, one iPad etc before heading out to sea.  I thought installing the update on an iPhone 4S will work on an iPhone 5 but the first iPhone 5 I connected needed to download.

  • Tooltip widget bug? Shows up correctly in Muse preview, distorted content on business catalyst.

    This is a cross question from Adobe Muse Bugs, as it also affects business catalyst.
    I have 3 panels on my tooltip.
    3 different descriptions for each one.
    Preview mode shows up accurately on what I have designed, but when uploaded to business catalyst, only the distorted description from the first tooltip panel shows up.
    The descriptions are really just rasterised text, with a translucent rectangle behind it.
    This issue is not observed when viewing exported html file. Browser used to test is Google Chrome
    What is the problem here? The widget? Muse? Business Catalyst? Chrome? And how do I fix it?
    I'm not sure how I'd upload the html files here, but the link for the hosted site on Business Catalyst is here: Home

    Ok, I've checked the site linked here with Safari.
    It works normally, so I'm thinking it's a Chrome problem.

  • Add hyperlinks to the tooltip widget in muse?

    Ok. here is an interesting question.
    1. I added the tool tip widget to a site design in Muse.
    2. I clicked on the trigger & went to the muse toolbar to select hyperlink, I then added the desired hyperlink.
    3. The "hover" finger pops up, but clicking does nothing.
    I've checked layers and order to make sure nothing is blocking the trigger, all seems normal. Am I using this in a way it's not intended?

    Oh well that's a whole different thing.
    Click on the orange hyperlink and add your tooltip text

  • Dreamweaver CS4 hangs while trying to insert Spry Tooltip widget

    I tried it several times - through Insert panel, and Insert - Spry... menu in Dreamweaver. It hangs deadly right after insert operation.
    So i had to make it manually, inserting the code and attaching CSS+JS files.
    I've already made an official request to Adobe (and just in case - i'm using XP SP2).
    Any ideas?

    As i discover it now, an attempt to insert ANY Spry widget leads to hanging the Dreamwever. Something went wrong with it.
    How can i fix this?
