OVERVIEW

The views_popup module adds popup style support for a Views List View.
This version is actually listed as "List View as Popup". This module
requires the Views module.


INSTALLING VIEWS

The views_popup module is installed simply by activating the module.


DOCUMENTATION

Create or open a view. Select "List Views as Popup" in the View Type 
combo box in either the Page or Block sections. Select one or more fields 
in the Fields section. The first field will be shown in the view but the 
remaining fields will be hidden. Moving the cursor over the first field
will cause the hidden block of fields to be presented after a delay.

The popup is implemented using Javascript. This allows it to work with
most popular web browsers. The default implementation has a half
second delay before the first popup is displayed. This allows a user
to quickly move the mouse over the fields and not showing the popups
until the cursor sits atop a field for a little time. There is also
a delay for turning this off since the delay time is set to 0 after
a popup is displayed. This allows the user to scroll down a list of
fields and view each of the popups as necessary.

The delays (in milliseconds) can be edited in the javascript. 


Note regarding Panels module
The Panels modules includes a CSS file that includes a number
of overflow definitions that will clip popup windows to the
interior of a panel. Including the following in a CSS file
after the Panels CSS file will override those definitions.

/* panel overflow fix */

.panel-flexible {
  overflow: visible;

.panel-1col {

}
