Pop-overs – Part 1: Making the pop-over.
About a year ago a new world of websites popped up, they showed content above the content you were viewing without the use of flash. When learning how to do them, trying to explain them to clients was really hard without giving it a name they’d relate to.

I’m not sure if anyone else has given it another name, but from now on for me and my clients it will be known as a “Pop-over”.
