Applying actions
Actions can be associated with objects (not text) to allow for greater user
interactivity. Available actions, triggered typically by a click or mouse
rollover of the object, are as follows:
• Alert: Displays a pop-up alert box (on click).
• Visibility: Displays a panel (on rollover/click).
• Slide on Scroll: Object slides horizontally from left or right,
fading in when scrolled in/out of view.
• Fade-In: Makes objects transparent until rollover, e.g. to only
show navigation buttons on panel hover over.
• Z-Index: Changes the order (Z-index) of the object in relation
to other objects (on rollover). A high Z-index value (e.g. 150)
ensures the object appears in front of other objects on rollover.
For example, a usually hidden picture in a picture stack can be
promoted to the front on rollover.
• Print: Prints the current page via a Print dialog (on click).
• Slider: Adds an action (Play, Pause, etc.) to a supporting
navigation button to control slider playback. You can add an
appropriate action to each type of navigation buttons, i.e. a Play
action can be applied to a Play button. (See Sliders on p. 66.)
• Slider Feedback: Changes the button state dynamically
according to the slider's current playback state.
• Magnifier: Areas of a picture can be hovered over for an
overlaid or offset magnified view. (See p. 39.)
• Pinterest: Adds a clickable
pin to your picture
(viewable on hover over) that lets you upload your picture to a
board on the picture-based social media website Pinterest. An
