If captioning is required on pop-up rollovers this can be made to appear next to
your Over image (see WebPlus Help for details).
For pop-up rollovers to work effectively you'll need to position the Normal and
Over images on your page. Positioning is carried out from a dedicated dialog,
where each state image can be moved and resized by dragging (or by setting
absolute pixel values).
To position rollover images:
1. In the Edit Pop-Up Rollover dialog, on the Rollover Graphic tab, click
the Set Rollover Position... button.
2. In the Rollover Position dialog, select an image. The drop-down list
indicates the current selection status, i.e.
• Normal Selection: a Normal image is selected and shows a green
border.
• Over Selection: an Over image is selected showing a blue border.
• If you deselect an image, the drop-down list shows No Selection.
3. Reposition selections by dragging and/or resize selections from corner
handles (aspect ratio is always maintained when dragging).
Alternatively, enter exact Left, Top, Width, and Height values in the
input boxes for fine positioning. The box's down arrows offer a drop-
down list showing the last three values used for Normal, Over, and
Captions (from top to bottom)—this lets you align images exactly.
4. (Optional) Check Position relative to Normal image to maintain the
Over image's position in relation to the Normal image (when the
Normal image is resized).
5. (Optional) Uncheck Maintain aspect ratio to allow your Normal or
Over image resizing to be unconstrained. You have to then use the
input boxes (not dragging) to affect unconstrained resizing.
The Normal image will show on your page, but the Over image will only pop-up
after previewing or publishing.
By building up additional Normal images as separate pop-up rollovers on your
web page you can create a stylish pop-up gallery of images, with each Normal
image being part of a sequence of rollover thumbnails.
