The text shown in italics are examples of hovertips. Move your mouse over the italic text to see what happens.
Text like this appears when you hover.
And disappears after you move your mouse away.
This is an example of a hovertip.
What's a hovertip?
A hovertip is a kind of "tooltip" that appears when the mouse rests above something.I call them "hover" tips to distinguish them from clicktips. Click your mouse over underlined italics to see a clicktip.
What's a clicktip?
A clicktip is also a tooltip. But unlike a hovertip, the user must press the mouse button to see one.
The clicktip text appears on the page, rather than floating beneath the mouse.
And the text remains visible until unti the user clicks a second time.
A single page can have any number of these things.
