You may actually need to be logged in with a user account to see the flyouts to which Jackson refers. However, at that point, you should receive a number of suggested offerings (for instance). These are thumbnails of the movie box/CD cover, etc...commonly associated with a film. Below that is a red hyperlinked button that reads (Add)-this is for adding selections to you queue. If you scroll over the aforementioned thumbnail and stop, you will see a prominent flyout appear. This box contains general summary information about the film, thus allowing you to scroll a number of recommendations without having to leave this page to navigate to another to obtain basic information about a film. Here, the user is provided with the type of information that original web paradigms would have required a declaration on the part of the user in the form of a "click" with the mouse to deduce a request for additional information. In this "newish" paradigm, simply hovering over an object for a short amount of time is inferred as a request (or declaration) for additional information. I think tool tips (which are more omnipresent) serve as similar examples. I hope this helps. John W. Williams . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
