How does one create Tool-Tips for not completely displayed menu names?

Dan777 · Sep 18, 2000

I need to be able to create Tool Tips for navigation menu options, for when the menu option itself is too long to display entirely. So that if the menu option is not displayed completely, and a 'mouse-over' event occurs, the Tool Tip will be displayed showing the entire menu option.

This functionality is exactly like in the MSDN Content section, where if something is too long and not displayed completely because the navigation frame is too narrow, doing a mouse-over will display a Tool-Tip with the entire wording.

Any ideas anyone? Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!!

Dan,

Quite simple in IE...

Code:

<html>
<body>
<h3 title=&quot;This is a heading&quot;>Heading</h3>
</body>
</html>

The title tag works with just about every HTML tag.

And if you need to support NN or want something more powerful go to
