size of tooltip text 2

[RobBroekhuis]

Can I use styles to set the font size in which the browser displays the "title" properties of images, form fields, etc? I use larger than normal font sizes throughout my site, so the contrast to the small tooltip textbox font is a bit large.

I don't think you can change the size of the default tooltips. If you really wanted this kind of functionality you could probable fake it using javascript and divs.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing now - at least exploring. I have it so it will pop up the text. I still have to figure out how to do so without redrawing the page (i.e., have the textbox be independent of other page components). I'm a newbie, as you can probably tell...

No need to struggle. You're not the first person to want to do this. Check out

For customizable javascript tooltips it doesn't get much better than overlib:

Two to choose from - thanks, Vragabond. I'll compare them and decide for myself.
