Pop Up Text

Have you been to a webpage when you've moused over some of the text and a pop up box appears. You can do this in LibGuides with a little bit of effort, just follow these steps:

1. Select edit text
2. Use the plain text editor
3. Insert the necessary code at the appropriate spot, see code in the image below.

4. You will also need to add this code to the Custom JS/CSS Code on your guide

This is what the example above looks like when live at: http://libguides.jcu.edu.au/content.php?pid=170116&sid=1433014#4561080 (mouse over the purple bold text). Bronwyn Mathiesen has also used it on the Business@JCU guide, see an example at: http://libguides.jcu.edu.au/content.php?pid=272838&sid=2488044 (mouse over the bold green text).

This is quite useful for terminology and providing additional information on your guides.  Free free to get in touch if you want some assistance or more information.

The images and information have been added to the Guide for Authors.
