Hello there,

Oh not again? Several questions about hovering caption issue have been posted here. I’ve gone through most of them but I still could not find what I’m looking for. You see, I have tried two of the tutorials, each of it has its pros.

The earlier tutorial shows one how to make a caption within the specified box, i.e, it can either be fixed horizontally or vertically. The cons it has is, whenever a mouse hover to one edge, the caption will be hidden. Is there a way to make the caption box change its position?

The later tutorial has this feature - horizontal dynamic caption - but it doesn’t go upward or downward. Can this be done too?

Thank you for you feedback.

Newbie
