The Image Textblock Rollover Widget renders an Image, a heading title and textblock content with a visually engaging pull-down "shade" effect. The pull-down activates when the user places their mouse over the widget. The "shade" effect covers the background image with a colored overlay and displays additional text from the textblock. This widget is responsive and supports rendering multiple instances in a horizontal row across the page or stacked vertically on smaller mobile devices.
Use this widget on your homepage or landing page to spotlight or feature important content that you want the visitor's eye immediately drawn to upon landing on the page.
Bind this widget’s Generic Render Handler and Metadata Form to your own Custom Element content object or use the optional Example Global Custom Element. With many options, like selecting the number Grid Columns for Large, Medium, Small and X-Small devices, and setting Color and/or Alignment for the Title and Description text, this widget can be configured to display your content in many appealing ways.
For developers, the element custom fields, Generic Render Handler file and included Cascading Style Sheet file can all be modified to fit your specific content’s custom display scenario.
