Mouseover - popup windows

Any way to get a window to popup when the mouse is over a particular word(s)?

Do you mean a window, or just a DIV in the current page? We’ve talked
about this recently, and agreed that it was a seriously rude thing to
do to pop up a new browser window from a rollover. Not pointing any
fingers here, so please let me know what you intend.

I have a workshop program for 2011 and would like a window to popup showing the workshop details when a user mouses over the date or location of the event.

Okay, then what I recommend you use is the Target Show/Hide Layer
Action to set up your “tooltips”, and the Rollover Action to define
the trigger elements.

Draw an HTML box where you want the popup to appear, add your content
to it, and be sure to give it a background color, border, and some
padding so it looks friendly. Then apply Target SHL to it, and set it
to be initially hidden, and give it a Target number (must be unique on
the page).

Apply Rollover to a graphic button, or use the inline form (Text
Rollover) to make a text link from within a run of text. In that
Action’s controls, set the Mouseover number to be the same as your
hidden layer.

Whenever you mouse over the link or graphic, the layer will appear.
For extra credit, apply the CSS3 Box Shadow Action to the floating
layer, and standards browsers will see a nice shadow setting off the
“tooltip”, just like a floating window on the Mac.
