easily design cursor activated flyouts
PeekaBoo lets you easily create large or miniature flyouts that pop-up right next to the cursor. They can be triggered by mouseover or mouseclick events on AP Divs, graphics or image map hotspots.
Large flyouts can contain any content including iFrames with an HTML page. Miniature text flyouts are perfect for small pop-up information strips.
Flyouts are layers, not small browser windows, and can contain any content that is allowed inside a layer
Using layers gets around the problem of pop-up blockers used by many browsers
iFrames can be used inside a flyout to hold a small HTML page complete with its own links
CSS3 options** include Round corners, Drop shadows and Linear background blends for your flyouts
Create flyouts that pop-up next to the cursor, at a fixed location, or centered in the browser window. They close automatically when your cursor leaves the area
Flyouts can be triggered by any link on the page that has an ID, such as a layer, an image or a hotspot on an image map
Auto dimming option lets you dim the page so the flyout stands out against background clutter
Set custom dimming percentages and background tints for each flyout
Five animated flyout opening effects and two closing effects
