Mouse-over properties are part of the WEB ANIMATIONS dialog. When you click this icon
the Mouse-over tab of the Web Animations dialog opens allowing you to specify what
should happen when a visitor moves the mouse pointer over the selected object. So for
example you can animate the mouse-over with a wide range of effects, pop-up some text
or a whole layer of content when a visitor hovers their mouse pointer over a photo or
other object on your web page.
See Web Animations (on page 437) for more details.
Placeholder Tab

The Placeholder tab is used to add and edit manually editable widgets. These are
widgets you insert onto your web page by manually pasting in HTML code for the widget
or by importing a Flash or movie file. You won’t normally need to use the Placeholder tab
on widgets that you’ve added from the ONLINE CONTENT CATALOG, because the code and
files that make those widgets function are handled for you automatically. See the
Website Widgets (on page 527) chapter for full details.

To turn any normal object into a placeholder for a widget, select it and then open this tab
of the Web Properties dialog. Choose whether you want the widget to be based on a
piece of HTML code you’ve obtained from a widget website, a Flash file or a graphic file.
Browse for the file or paste in the HTML code. Click OK and now your object is a
placeholder object.
