Helllo,

 

I'm designing a webpage in XD. On the homepage I have a list of names. I'm trying to create a design in which if the user hovers over a name then an image will appear on the page. Could anyone tell me if this is possible? Ive tried everything with componnents and hover states and I cant get it to work 😞

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

Karl

  1. Make the text a component
  2. Add a hover state
  3. IMPORTANT STEP: to enter the hover state, you have to double-click on the text.
  4. In the hover state add the photo.
  5. Switch the component back to the default state

Test it and it should work.

It is possible, but your component might be clunky as it the element you hover on and the connected image would have to be within the same component. There is no way for XD to say when you hover over component X then change the state of this other element.

Hello Dan,

I wonder if you could explain this a bit more, or show a video? I'm trying to do a similar thing, so that when you hover over text, something pops up in a different place on the screen, without having the hover activate when you are hovering over the element that pops up, only when you hover over the text. I tried following your steps but if I double click the text I can't select states, I can only edit the text... Any help is greatly appreciated!
