glossary definition

[julie]

Hi
Can anybody explain how to create a pop-up of the glossary definition
when the user points the mouse over the listed glossary term in the topics? Do
I need to make any change in the dtd and .mod files to achieve this?

Regards
Julie

Hello,

When a DITA topic that contains a link to a glossary entry (a topic with a glossentry root element) is transformed with the XSL stylesheets of DITA-OT the link appears in the XHTML output in the section Related information. When it is clicked the XHTML link opens the glossary entry in a new page. If you want to display the content of the glossary entry as a popup when the mouse pointer is over a glossary term you have to customize the DITA-OT stylesheets for XHTML output. The DITA-OT is located in Oxygen in the directory [Oxygen-install-dir]/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT. You may get more detailed answers from DITA experts on the dita-users mailing list.
