RE: PopUps or Rollovers in on-line help manualI am starting work on ... an on-line help guide and was wondering what the general thought was to using rollovers or popups to give information on various entries and if anyone knew of a good on-line source or manual on how best to implement them. The job manager is extremely concerned with slow loading speeds and large file size and I am looking at options on how to minimize both. What form of on-line help will you be delivering? Will you be using a particular help-authoring tool or is that something you need to decide? Seems to me that your implementation method would depend on the answer to the first question in particular, and possibly on the answer to the second. Many HATs include tools to create rollover and popups, though not necessarily in the most efficient way (in terms of loading speed and file size).
