What is behind a mouse-over
When you surf the Internet, you regularly come across the mouse-over. This means “mouse over” in German.
- A mouse-over is when you move your mouse over a link, for example, and it changes. Such a change can be an underscore, for example.
- The idea behind this is that you can see that these are not just a few written words, but that there is also something behind them that you can click on.
- A mouse-over is also often used to explain certain terms in texts or to enlarge images. However, this effect is not only called mouse-over, but often also hover effect.
- Most websites use this effect to make them more exciting and easier to understand for the user.
