Best uses for BoxOver

This shows some of the situations where BoxOver can be really nifty.
It also gives you fellas out there an example to work off.

Tooltips

This is where you can show help to the user. Naturally you don't want this help to be permanently visible on the screen so you can hide it and bring it up when needed.

When space is tight (images in BoxOver)

I know this is a little bit of a lame example but I needed a fourth to fill up this table ;)

Move over this
