>
> I'm trying to implement this type of behavior: a link that a user can
> hover their mouse over or click to show a layer on top of the page
> that displays info about the link. For example, the text of a link
> says "amortization". If a user wants to get a definition of the word
> "amortization", they can hover their mouse over it or click on it.
> When they do so, a box appears near the link that says, "The process
> of paying off a debt, together with interest, usually with equal payments
at regular intervals over a period of time."
>
> The box goes away when the user uses their mouse to move the cursor
> off the link, or when they click a "close" link inside the box.
>
> Has anyone managed to do this in an accessible way?
