A '''hoverbox''' (also called a '''hover box''', '''hovercard''' or '''hover card''') is a [[popup window]] that is neither a [[tooltip]] nor a traditional [[Modal window|popup]], but is a popup that appears when the [[Mouse (computing)|mouse]] is placed over an [[Icon (computing)|icon]] on the screen for a short period of time, without clicking. The hoverbox provides a [[web annotation]] tool which allows the reader of a [[web page]] to preview information outside of that webpage.

Hoverboxes differ from tooltips in that hoverboxes support [[HTML element]]s and can be used to display forms, graphics and lists among other html elements.

Hoverboxes differ from traditional popups in that the user must hover over a page element to activate. Hoverboxes are not used for [[advertising]] or [[Statistical survey|survey]] collection.

Hoverboxes and other kinds of hover effects can be built with CSS<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-12-15 |title=CSS Hover Effects - Guidance From Beginning to Expert |url=https://forfrontend.com/css-hover-effects-guidance-from-beginning-to-expert/ |access-date=2024-08-03 |language=en-US}}</ref>.

Typically used to hide page elements that would otherwise clutter a [[website]].

'''Richard William Prebble''' {{post-nominals|country=NZL|CBE}} (born 7 February 1948) is a former member of the [[New Zealand Parliament]]. Initially a member of the [[New Zealand Labour Party|Labour Party]], he joined the newly formed [[ACT New Zealand]] party under [[Roger Douglas]] in 1996, becoming its leader from 1996 to 2004.

==Early and personal life==

Prebble was born in [[Kent]], England, to Kenneth Ralph Prebble and Mary Prebble (née Thoad), and raised in [[Auckland]]. His father was an Anglo-Catholic [[Anglican]] priest, and a leader in the [[Charismatic Renewal]] as archdeacon at [[St. Paul's Church on Symonds Street|St. Pauls]], on retirement he and Mary were received into the [[Roman Catholic Church]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/4613627a24437.html|title=Kenneth Ralph Prebble|date=10 July 2008|work=The Dominion Post|access-date=2009-01-25|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120912132836/http://www.stuff.co.nz/4613627a24437.html|archive-date=12 September 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> He was educated at [[Auckland Grammar School]] before becoming a barrister and solicitor in 1971.<ref name="Mad Dog">{{cite news |author=Reid, Neil |title='Mad Dog' unleashed |work=[[Sunday News (New Zealand)|Sunday News]] |date=13 October 1996 |page=13 }}</ref> From 1973 to 1974 he worked overseas in [[Fiji]] where he practised law.<ref name="Rail Recovery">{{cite news |title=Rail Recovery is Minister's Goal |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=6 August 1984 |page=5 }}</ref>

Prebble's older brother, John Prebble QC, is a law professor at [[Victoria University of Wellington]]. His younger brother, [[Mark Prebble]] was the State Services Commissioner and head of New Zealand's public service. John's daughter [[Antonia Prebble]] is an actor with a number of television roles.

Prebble has been married three times. His first wife was [[Nancy Cocks]], and his second was [[Doreen Kuper]], a former Honorary Consul for the [[Solomon Islands]] in New Zealand.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.listener.co.nz/uncategorized/dogged-by-the-past/|title=Dogged by the past – Uncategorized – The Listener|publisher=Listener.co.nz|access-date=15 February 2015}}</ref> His current wife is former Press Gallery radio journalist [[Ngahuia Wade]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/8281327/Today-in-politics-Saturday-February-9|title=Today in politics|date=9 February 2013|publisher=Fairfax New Zealand}}</ref> Cocks was a member of the Labour Party's Fijian branch and in 1975 she was elected to Labour's national executive.<ref>{{cite news |title=Karori Candidate Wins Seat on Party Executive |work=[[The Evening Post (New Zealand)|The Evening Post]] |date=14 May 1975 |page=2 }}</ref>

===Opposition===
Prebble was originally a member of the [[New Zealand Labour Party|Labour Party]] and in 1965 he became chairman of the {{NZ electorate link|Auckland Central}} Electorate Committee. At the {{NZ election link year|1969}} and {{NZ election link year|1972}} elections he was a campaign organiser for Auckland Central MP [[Norman Douglas (politician)|Norman Douglas]]. When Douglas announced his retirement Prebble was selected, aged 27, to replace him as Labour's candidate in the seat.<ref>{{cite news |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |title=Young Man for Labour |date=10 February 1975 |page=3 }}</ref> He was successful in being elected in the Auckland Central electorate at the [[1975 New Zealand general election|1975 election]].<ref>{{cite news |work=[[The Evening Post (Wellington)|The Evening Post]] |title=A Host of New Faces for New Parliament |date=1 December 1975 }}</ref>

Soon after his election, owing mainly to Labour's drastic reduction in MPs in their 1975 defeat, he was made Labour's spokesman for race relations and the environment.<ref>{{cite news |title=Surprises Among Party Spokesmen |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=30 January 1976 |page=10 }}</ref> Following the 1978 election he was given the more prominent portfolio of justice by Labour leader [[Bill Rowling]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=Rowling shuffles his pack |date=9 December 1978 |work=[[Auckland Star]] |page=3 }}</ref> From 1978 until 1980 he was additionally the Labour Party's junior [[Whip (politics)|whip]].{{sfn|Wilson|1985|pp=281}} In 1979 Rowling decided to create a separate shadow cabinet above the caucus. Prebble was given a seat in the shadow cabinet, but was displeased at the change in portfolio allocations in which he lost justice and was instead given immigration, regional development and the environment. As a result, he refused to join the shadow cabinet to protest his allocation of portfolios he did not want. Colleagues described the move as petulant, with Prebble countering by saying "The difference in opposition to being in a shadow cabinet and being a backbencher is only in name. It's a shadow rather than a substance."<ref>{{cite news |title=Political Career May Be Hurt |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=15 December 1979 |page=1 }}</ref> He resigned as junior whip as well and returned to the backbench until March 1981 when he rejoined the shadow cabinet as Shadow Minister for Social Welfare and Pacific Island Affairs.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Labour's shadow line-up |date=13 March 1981 |work=[[The Evening Post (New Zealand)|The Evening Post]] |page=4 }}</ref>

On 2 September 1983 Prebble was injured in a head-on car collision whilst he was returning to Wellington after addressing the Taxi Proprietors' Association conference. He was taken to [[Dannevirke]] Hospital and was treated for a concussion and broken pelvis.<ref>{{cite news |title=Head-on crash: MP in hospital |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=2 September 1983 |page=3 }}</ref>

Owed to his legal background Prebble became quickly known for his "tough, aggressive, non-compromising debating style."<ref name="Rail Recovery"/> From 1975 to 1984 Labour was in opposition, and [[Ross Meurant]] recalled that "Sir Rob has often said that when he was in government, the most irritating and damaging of his opponents was Richard Prebble. 'Always at it' said Sir Rob, 'Always a bother to us. Even if some thought he was mad the way he carried on, we never knew what he was going to come up with next.'"<ref>[[Ross Meurant|Meurant, Ross]] The Beat to the Beehive (1989, Harlen Books, Auckland) {{ISBN|978-0-908757-05-3}} p. 174</ref>

===Government===
When the [[Fourth Labour Government of New Zealand|Fourth Labour Government]] was formed, after the [[1984 New Zealand general election|1984 election]], Prebble was elected to the cabinet and was appointed [[Ministry of Transport (New Zealand)#Ministers of Transport|Minister of Transport]], [[Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand#Ministers of Civil Aviation|Minister of Civil Aviation and Meteorological Services]], [[Minister of Railways (New Zealand)|Minister of Railways]] and [[Minister for Pacific Peoples|Minister of Pacific Island Affairs]].{{sfn|Wilson|1985|pp=97}} He pressed for a Pacific affairs ministerial portfolio to be established, having an interest in the experiences of Pacific Island New Zealanders due to his time working in Fiji and the large concentration of Pacific Islanders living in his {{NZ electorate link|Auckland Central}} constituency.<ref name="Rail Recovery"/>

During the government Prebble aligned himself with [[Roger Douglas]], the controversial [[Minister of Finance (New Zealand)|Minister of Finance]], and was an associate finance minister. Douglas, Prebble and [[David Caygill]] were together dubbed "the Treasury Troika",{{sfn|Bassett|2008|pp=108, 279}} and were responsible for most of the economic reform undertaken by the [[New Zealand Labour Party|Labour]] government. The "[[Rogernomics]]" reforms, which were based on [[free market]] economic theory, were unpopular with many traditional [[New Zealand Labour Party|Labour]] supporters. In August 1988 Prebble spoke at a public meeting in [[Sydenham, New Zealand|Sydenham]] and was greeted with jeering crowds of Labour supporters who were angry with the reforms and their consequent unemployment. While being interviewed by a television reporter he was hit, mid-sentence, by an egg thrown from the crowd. The egg was thrown by Christopher Owen-Cooper, a former serviceman who served in both [[World War II]] and the [[Korean War]], who faced a disorderly behaviour charge. Owen-Cooper was quoted by ''[[The Dominion (Wellington)|The Dominion]]'' newspaper as saying "We've all built up frustration, we're sick of what the Government's doing. They [politicians] can't give us any answers so it was time someone gave them the hurry along." He was discharged but paid $50 in costs.<ref>{{cite web |first=Kevin |last=List |url=https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0507/S00382.htm |website=[[Scoop (website)|Scoop]] |title=A Week Of It: Prebble's Departure, Crying and Shame |date=29 July 2005 |access-date=19 June 2021 }}</ref>

Prebble held more portfolios than any other minister in the government as his post of [[Minister for State Owned Enterprises]] absorbed almost all the portfolios of government owned operations and assets which were scheduled to be privatised (much to the opposition of the public). As such Prebble became grossly overworked and colleagues noticed he paid little attention to his appearance with unkempt hair and ragged suits.{{sfn|Bassett|2008|p=429}} Other ministers also felt his portfolio took up too much time in cabinet meetings. Lange, in tune with the public mood, was opposed to public asset sales and impeded Prebble's efforts in selling them. The disagreement became a very public falling-out when Lange stripped him of the State Owned Enterprises (SOE) portfolio on 4 November 1988.{{sfn|Bassett|2008|p=434}} Prebble publicly counterattacked in a television interview that night saying that Lange was acting dictatorial and was in no state to be making decisions.{{sfn|Bassett|2008|p=436}} Prebble commented: "He [Lange] said the matter had been eating and gnawing at him and was killing him. I said I didn't think this was a proper basis for making policy. Mr Lange said in that case I should resign."{{sfn|Russell|1996|p=197}} The comments on television by Prebble lead to his dismissal from cabinet altogether the following day. Lange stated at a press conference that Prebble had misrepresented the detail and nature of a private conversation between the two.{{sfn|Bassett|2008|p=434}}

Prebble returned to the backbenches afterwards. In August 1989 he put himself forward to fill one of two vacant seats in cabinet, but lost a caucus ballot to [[Annette King]].{{sfn|Bassett|2008|p=505-6}} When Lange's replacement as Prime Minister [[Geoffrey Palmer (politician)|Geoffrey Palmer]] held a complete re-election of cabinet in January 1990 Prebble was elected and returned to the frontbench and cabinet. Palmer gave him the SOE portfolio once again and later appointed him [[Minister of Police (New Zealand)|Minister of Police]] as well.{{sfn|Bassett|2008|pp=528–9}}

===1990 and 1993 elections===
[[File:Richard Prebble, 1993.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Prebble on the campaign trail in 1993]]

Prebble retained his Auckland Central seat in the [[1990 New Zealand general election|1990 election]]. In opposition he was appointed Shadow Minister of State Owned Enterprises, Works, Police and Pacific Island Affairs.<ref>{{cite news |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |title=Labour line-up |date=6 December 1991 |page=5 }}</ref> In the [[1993 New Zealand general election|1993 election]], Prebble lost his seat to [[Sandra Lee-Vercoe|Sandra Lee]], deputy leader of the new left-wing [[Alliance (New Zealand political party)|Alliance]] party.

In the [[1995 New Year Honours (New Zealand)|1995 New Year Honours]], Prebble was appointed a [[Commander of the Order of the British Empire]], for public services.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=53894 |date=31 December 1994 |page=34 |supp=2}}</ref>

After leaving parliament Prebble worked making consultancy deals and moved to [[Vietnam]] tendering to build New Zealand's first embassy there. In 1996 he also secured a joint-venture deal to restructure Vietnam's railway system (which was still using steam engines).<ref name="Mad Dog"/> He also joined Auckland businessman Malcolm McConnell to create the company McConnell International.<ref name="says no">{{cite news |title=Prebble says 'no' to being an MP again |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=6 July 1995 |page=5 }}</ref>

===ACT New Zealand===
New Zealand switched to the [[Mixed-member proportional representation|mixed-member proportional]] (MMP) representation electoral system in 1993. [[Roger Douglas]] established the [[ACT New Zealand]] party, and was joined by Prebble. Initially he did not take an active role in the party and, though frequently invited to speak at ACT functions, he stated in July 1995 that he had no intention of standing for parliament again.<ref name="says no"/> However, in March 1996, Douglas stepped down as the new party's leader, and Prebble took over beating former [[Federated Farmers]] president [[Owen Jennings]] for the party leadership.<ref name="Mad Dog"/>

====1996 election====
In the [[1996 New Zealand general election|1996 election]], the first to be held under MMP, ACT won eight seats in Parliament. Prebble won the [[Wellington Central (New Zealand electorate)|Wellington Central]] electorate<ref name="Mad Dog"/> following a campaign that saw National Party leader and Prime Minister [[Jim Bolger]] predict Prebble would win rather than National’s candidate. Bolger saw ACT as a natural partner either in a coalition or a confidence-and-supply arrangement, and wanted to assure ACT would be in the chamber by helping Prebble win Wellington Central. Under New Zealand's MMP rules, a party that falls below the five-percent threshold can still qualify for MMP if it wins at least one electorate seat. The events were captured in the documentary ''Campaign''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sutorius |first1=Tony |title=Campaign |url= https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/campaign |website=Nzonscreen.com |publisher=NZ On Screen |accessdate=17 October 2021|date=1999}}</ref>

====1999 election====
Prebble lost his Wellington Central seat in the [[1999 New Zealand general election|1999 election]], but remained in Parliament as a [[party list proportional representation|list MP]] and leader of ACT.

====2002 election====
Prebble was re-elected as a list MP and leader of ACT in the [[2002 New Zealand general election|2002 election]].

===Retirement===
Prebble was replaced as ACT leader by [[Rodney Hide]] in 2004, and did not stand in the [[2005 New Zealand general election|2005 election]].

Prebble's book, ''Out of the Red'', was released on 23 October 2006.

He became campaign manager for ACT leading up to the [[2014 New Zealand general election|2014 election]] with his stated aim to bring 9 ACT MP's into Parliament; this did not eventuate however as ACT did not gain any new seats, only retaining Epsom.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/237023/prebble-aims-to-bring-in-nine-act-mps |website=[[Radio New Zealand]] |title=Prebble aims to bring in nine ACT MPs |date=24 February 2014 |access-date=1 July 2021 }}</ref>
