Hover over comments?
-
I was wondering if it’s possible to add (via additional code) hover over comments to WordPress hosted blogs.
You know, hovering the cursor over a word, link or picture and additional text would appear in a box.Thanks in advance for any help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can use “cursor help” for words
<span style="cursor:help;" title="ADDITIONAL_INFO">WORD</span>Hovering over an image or link will show the title of the image or link.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I have some additional questions though.
Where do I insert this code? Into the part where I write a blog post?Do I replace the WORD word with the word in the text (Moon or Fire for example?).
I understand that I replace the WORD with LINK if I want a link to have a hover over comment? I also don’t get how I am supposed to add this to an image. I don’t get any code when I insert an image (I haven’t checked the html mode yet for that).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Ah, you put the code into the html editor.
Yes, replace “WORD'” with the text Moon or Fire.
Replace “ADDITIONAL_INFO” with “big round thing at night” (for example)Images will show their titles when you hover over them. So edit your image as usual and put the title in the appropriate line.
Links can also have titles, which will appear upon hovering:
<a href="http://LINK_URL" title="TITLE">WORD</a> -
wow thanks for this info… this is a great way to give a dictionary definitions to text without having to link to another page.

Well dlager!
You are right, and you are welcome!I used to use the cursor help a lot but then forgot about it. This question reminded me about it. Useful to include explanations of terms not familiar to readers, yet it does not clutter up the posts.
