2Hi there. I think a more specific question with more details on what you're trying to achieve would allow us to help you more. :) – AzKai Apr 07 '15 at 20:51

Hi! for example our website, non-profit organization, have a pictures and buttons that it urges visitor to click on and reveal more information behind it with popups. We are converting our current website to mobile friendly. Hope this helps. – Ganbayar Gansukh Apr 07 '15 at 20:54

Ah! So you are developing a website for mobile. Are you trying not to use JavaScript, or are you just thinking there's a more user-friendly way to display information instead of pop-up windows on Phones? – AzKai Apr 07 '15 at 21:03

One possible strategy is to try and apply more progressive disclosure patterns that allow you to show and hide information based on user actions. Some examples include:
- tooltips: but instead of showing it on a popup you would simply implement a collapse/expand accordion style of display area underneath or near the trigger. This is usually for small and concise chunks of text.
- twisties or show/hide: again this is designed to hide information but allow users to discover or reveal additional content if they want to. This is usually used for larger chunks of information.
- notifications or messaging: depending on the design/interaction guide for the component or development framework you are using, these can appear at the top of the page and be persistent, timed or dismiss-able.
