What is the earliest example of a rollover you can think of in a Hypercard application?
By rollover I mean:
A list of database entries, where moving a highlight or a mouse cursor over each entry results in some detail data relating to the entry being shown elsewhere on the display.
I want to know this because there are some software patents which appear to me to be unfairly granted where I'm sure hypercard applications were available which predated the patent claims.
I would appreciate any help with this and in fact examples don't have to be limited to hypercard, though I think hypercard apps are a good likely source. If you can point to commercially or publicly available software predating September 1990, fantastic. If you know of any such software including video - even better. Thought I think hypercard only started to include video/animation from 1992 (correct me if I'm wrong).
If you know of any such applications I would very much like to hear from you. I would be grateful if you could also send your reply to news@infinitereason.com as well as this forum but if you would rather not do so, I will be checking back here regularly.
