# Best uses for BoxOver

This shows some of the situations where BoxOver can be really nifty.
It also gives you fellas out there an example to work off.

Tooltips This is where you can show help to the user. Naturally you don't want this help to be permanently visible on the screen so you can hide it and bring it up when needed. Move over question mark for help ? Move over this text to see a tooltip with a delay added. Oh yes. Move over this for a delay and a fade. | For tabulated data (especially when you have lots of fields and need space)
Animal | Type | Where to find
Cat | Mammal | Sleeping on the TV
Tuna | Chicken ;) | In the cupboard
Spider | Insect | Behind you
Chicken | Poultry, haha | Crossing the road
Lama | Mammal | Really slow fading tooltip
| For popups appearing after user clicks a link Click this link The above uses the "requireclick" property of the tooltip. The idea was inspired by a post in the forum.
