Marketing - Internet, e-Commerce / website design
Italian term or phrase: esplosione notizia
the client is revamping the website and I have an excel file with instructions for the graphic/website designer, most of which are quite colloquial, brief

this is the context:

"AREA STAMPA / comunicati stampa
(FOGLIA) "esplosione notizia)"

I understand what they mean - you know when you pass over an item with your mouse and the item (text/picture) explodes, and comes up front with respect to the rest of the page - well, that would be it, but I'm just not sure how to put it decently

thanks!!

pop-up
Explanation:
If I've understood your description correctly, the term for this is 'pop-up'. They can variously be called rollover pop-ups, pop-up tooltips, pop-up information boxes, pop-outs, or even balloons, but in general pop-up is the most generic term. I've given several example sites that can demonstrate various forms and terms.
