Hi,

Is it possible to change the width of the 'glossary mouse-over screen'? There is too much text in it to fit on the page. See image.
Somebody with an idea?

JaapJan

Holy cow!

Add a styles optional property and then add the following:
Code:
#x_glossaryHover { display: none; max-width: 400px; }

Change the width to whatever you want including % rather than px

Thanks Ron

Wonderfull! Another question:
Is it possible to relink it form the position the glossary-word has in the page? When the glossary-word is shown at the right of the screen, the popup from the glossary is also positioned at the right.

Thanks

JaapJan

Holy cow!

Even when the term is on the right the definition should shift so that it isn't off the screen? Not sure what the problem is? You could possibly try a margin-right value but I think the pop-up is positioned dynamically via js so not sure there's a simple solution.

Hey Ron

another one :(

Is it possible to change the title of the glossary popup window? Now it is named 'Glossary', but I use it for a kind of TOC

JaapJan

Holy cow!

Hi JaapJan
we just had a team meeting and agreed that unfortunately this isn't something that is possible to change at this point but is now on our to do list for a future release e.g. to have language options attached to the LO where this could be changed in the same way that language options can be used on specific pages like quiz etc.
