Hi Chaitanya, Would [Hover](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-browser/Browser.html#Hover) do what you want? Dave. ---

Why are all related to Click? Only Mouse Button is related to a button operation. But Mouse Move is based on Coordinates while Hover is based on a Selector ---

Also can you please provide an example for using the Mouse Hover function using Browser Library. Tried searching the same and all the solutions are related to Selenium Libraray ---

Hi Chaitanya, FYI thekKeyword is just `Hover` not `Mouse Hover`, and the documentation in the [Hover](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-browser/Browser.html#Hover) link I gave you has good examples. Dave. ---

Hi Chaitanya, I just realised that you might trying to get the hover text, you actually don’t need to hover over the element to get that, it’s an attribute of the element, so you can simply use [Get Attribute](https://marketsquare.github.io/robotframework-browser/Browser.html#Get%20Attribute) to get the elements hover text. Depending on your application and the HTML tag, the hover text could a variety of attributes, some common ones are: - alt (for images) - title (for other elements) - aria-label (for [newer HTML](https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aria-1.0/)) You’ll have to check the HTML of your app to find out which attributes were used Dave. ---
