Answer 1

hover

Answer 2

When you put the mouse over a link (hover) and it changes colour  it  highlights (or it is highlighted ).

Answer 3

I would describe it as a "Visual aid"

"An instructional device, such as a chart, map, diagram, cutaway or overlay, that helps a reader to comprehend information."

Answer 4

depends on what you are using it for. If you want to code something for a website that would be HTML and be something like this. (for text)

A:link {color:"colorcode"; text-decoration: (none, underlined, bold, italic, other)}

A:visited {color:"colorcode"; text-decoration: (none, underlined, bold, italic, other)}

A:hover {color:"colorcode"; text-decoration: (none, underlined, bold, italic, other)}

If you are creating this in a program there should be an option to change color or image on mouse over.

if it's for other code, it's probably different. But some

common terms are hover and mouse over.

Answer 5

How about "resolution" ('the process or capability of making distinguishable the individual parts of an object, closely adjacent optical images, or sources of light  b: a measure of the sharpness of an image or of the fineness with which a device (as a video display, printer, or scanner) can produce or record such an image usually expressed as the total number or density of pixels in the image')

Answer 6

technically (from a programming standpoint), it means it has "focus".  For example, when you put your cursor in a text box to type something, from a programming standpoint, it means the text box has the focus.  If your mouse is over a link, it has the focus.

don't ask me why they call it focus....it's just what they call it.
