EDIT .... I have split off responses on browser and compatibility into this thread, leaving  http://www.passenger.chat/24775 for the architecture at Bristol Temple Meads.

Customer response - that works well for me Grahame!

Yeah ... is it filling them in fully every time, or never filling them in?  It's limited in what / where I'm testing it with as it need to be tested across a variety of places and lots of debugging to do!

On Chrome it's not working as a mouseover, instead it's adding the full bracketed name automatically.

Tried Microsoft Edge and Firefox too. They both work as a mouseover.

Appreciated.   Noted.  I WILL be working on it but not right away; I need to do so when (a) the forum is quiet and (b) I have some time and am not asleep.   Which probably means "overnight in a few days time". There is a danger of doing more harm than good for a period of several hours ...

Thanks, Tony ... I'm going to have to go through loads of compatibility tables, scour our home for forgotten devices, cross Lisa'a palm with chocolate and Pistachios and a promise of a trip on the Orient Express to have her look on all the technology she's surrounded with.    My usual rule is "keep the HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) simple to render anywhere" but in this case some mucking about with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) can bring significant benefits to many, provided it does not screw things up for a few.

I should have had the wit to realise that it might be helpful to say that I'm using Chrome 89.0.4389.82 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS / Gnome 3.36.8 / X11

Have you switched the test off?  I can find no mouseover events using the latest build of MS Edge.

No - it's done as follows:

    #parent #popup {
      display: none;
    }
    #parent:hover #popup {
      display: inline;
      background-color: yellow;
    }


<span id="parent">CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)<sup>▸</sup> <span id="popup"> (Cascading Style Sheets)</span></span>

On which I would be sensible to ask if any experts have suggestions
