Is there an action that can generate a popup window when a user’s mouse hovers over a word?
Thanks in advance.

Do you want the popped window to be a full browser window, with all
the location field, scroll bars, bookmarks, etc.? Or are you looking
more for the layer that appears out of nowhere, without the page
refreshing, and disappears later if you do something else? From the
sounds of things, you might even be looking for a “tooltip”.
Could you clarify?

Thanks for your reply, Walid.
What I’m looking for is the latter option: a window ca. 300x200 that would appear in the current page when the user hovers over a word, then disappears when the mouse moves off the word. I want to add definitions for certain words in a text, and this seemed the most user-friendly method.
I welcome any help that you can offer.

What you are describing can be done with what’s called an abbr
(abbreviation) tag, but there’s no support in Freeway for that. If you
were to wrap the word in a link, you could add a title tag to that
link, and put your definition there. Try this: select your word, and
press Apple-K. Select the External tab, and enter
‘javascript:;’ (without the surrounding quotes) in the URL field. In
the Title field, enter your explanation. If you want these links to
look different than normal links, you will need to create a separate
style for them (it’s traditional for these links to have a double
underline or dashed underline, to separate them visually from normal
hyperlinks).
For now, preview in a browser and let me know if this looks like
something that will work for you. We can work on the styling next.

Thanks, Walt
It works well enough for what I need it to do (this is just a draft)
