Is there a way in VSD, using the mouse over function to have a text box pop up with text when i move over the object that is mouse over enabled.

What I want to do is have a button that will move over when a user moves their mouse on it and either a. a text box pops up; b. a mini page pops up with text; or c: when the button is clicked, the page scrolls down to an area with text.

Oh yea - one more... can I link from one area of a web page to another area of that same page?

Can I have more than one link color on the same web page?

Probably No No and No.

You are wanting to do quite advanced things there and you would need to add extra code either in the html or CSS.


I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.

Hi Wayno,

I made an example for you to show (probably) what you mean here; www.johnvanhulst.com/anchors What you want can be done, but as tassietiger says, it needs some HTML (very simple though).

1: If you mouse over the 'text example' object on the page, it shows
a: a new object with another text
b: an 'ALT' text
c: Clicking on the object opens a new page with text. You can close this page on the page itself (a very small piece of javascript is needed for this, inserted with the HTML tool of VSD) and of course you can make links on this new page.

2: To go to 'sections' on a page, you need a so-called 'anchor'. The HTML needed for this is really very simple, I inserted it too with the HTML tool.

On the example page itself you can download the VSD design that does this all for you (and any other one who might be interested :)) If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them.
