    Hi,


    I have included some hover text over my images using the "Image Checkboxes" widget. 

    How can i add a hyperlink into the hover text?


    Thanks,

    Unfortunately, you can't add hyperlinks on pseudo contents. That's not possible with CSS.

    The workaround is to add the full URL in text format as part of the content.

    Example:

    Thanks for your response.

    I have tried adding the hyperlink to the image title, which actually works better for me.

    However, when i go to click the link it just selects the image?

    Is there a way i can work around this?


    Thanks,

    I'm afraid that will not work too. You may be able to add hyperlink HTML code but it will not respond to clicks on the live form. I actually think this is a bug on this particular widget or probably intentional.

    Anyway, what I can only do for now is to escalate this to our developers. The link on Image Checkboxes label should respond to clicks when it's clicked. Once this is resolved in the future, we will let you know here.

    Hi Elton,


    I have just checked your example form and the issue seems to be the same?

    The hyperlink is there in the text, however when you click on it, it simply selects the image- not open the link.


    Thanks

    This works fine for me. Here's my test:

    Could you please clear your browser's cache? I was advised to do this with our dev. It might also work for you. Please try it and let us know.

    Another question! (sorry)

    Is it possible to change the colour of the hyperlinked text?
