How To Make Pop-up Title Card On Hover?

So for my website, I have a portfolio page and I want to design a simple image thumbnail for my Google doc or Word documents to link essays and stuff. The same for PDFs, Slides, et

Solution 1:

There are a ton of different ways to do this.

Here is a CSS only way.

Basically, you would create a different class name for each title card that you want to have a hover pop-up caption. I use a pseudo selector for the content in the hover pop up.

Hope this helps!

.title-card {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;

  height: 200px;
