    Do you mean the blurb that pops up when the mouse moves over an image?

     

    Rollovers are not supported in iOS, which is a touch platform.

     

    Perhaps you can try an onClick w/JS in a dashcode widget, but again, with a touch interface, the user may not know and become confused if they think touching should do something else....

     

    Good luck

    Thanks, Ken. That's given me food for thought about the difference between development for the computer and the iPad.
