Hi everyone, I'm designing a web form with a series of checkboxes. I want some way of providing the user with information on each of the checkbox parameters.

What is the professional way of doing this? Should I have a popup tag which automatically appears when the mouse goes over the checkbox? Or should I have clickable links which open up a separate window containing information?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Regards,

Ruth

I would go with the clickable links.

If it's possible to summarize into a short line that you can put next to the box, that would definitely be the best option. Mostly because 90% of people won't put in the extra click to read more. However, a clickable link would be preferable over a mouseOver popup.

You could try to use ComboBoxCheckBox that combines windows platform combobox and implements it like checkboxes inside your renderings. Check out c-sharp corner for more info.
