How to create mouse over pop-up page using Robohelp?

Hello,

I want to create something similar to this page using Robohelp 10:

When I click on the '+' sign the selected area is lightened and the text pops-out (green patch in the image). The background is blurred, focusing the required section.

Any suggestion please?

Hi there

Suggestion 1. Go buy a work shirt and roll up your sleeves.

Suggestion 2. Learn JavaScript

Suggestion 3. Learn CSS

Suggestion 4. Forget about RoboHelp doing anything that would remotely help you do this.

Suggestion 5. Pick apart the page you like and see if you are able to discern exactly how they accomplished what they did!

Cheers... Rick

Thanks for your quick response...Actually, I was just looking for options in Robohelp, if any. I fail to understand the reason for such a rude reply. You could have said in simple words that I need to use some other tools.

LOL, I'm sorry you didn't "get" my reply.

I replied as I did because if this is truly your goal, you have quite a row to hoe, as it would seem (at least to me) that the page you used as an example is rife with all sorts of custom coding.

I was simply being as honest as I felt I could be in what I thought was a gentle way. The unfortunate fact is, you are in for a lot of work. (hence the first suggestion) The work will likely require substantial knowledge of JavaScript and CSS. (hence suggestions two and three) RoboHelp has nothing built into it that will do any of this to help and truly, the only way to duplicate the behavior (as far as I'm aware) is to actually pick apart what was done.

I suppose you would have preferred what in my own mind would seem a rude reply of a simple. "RoboHelp can't do that" with nothing more?

Ah well, not my best day for communicating I suppose.

Cheers... Rick
