Tooltip on Button
- Thread starter Lotruth
- Start date
You can use some DHTML, but you might run into problems with that on Netscape. Here's a page that will open a small window with whatever tip you specify in the onMouseOver event handler.
You can adjust the window width, size, position to meet your needs. Load this page into your browser and try it.
Make sure that you close the window in the first line of whatever function is being triggered on the button click.
Hope this helps.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<script Language="JavaScript">
<!--
var tipWin
function toolTip(tipText) {
tipWin = window.open('','','width=200,height=50,top=100,left=100')
wC = "<html><head><title>Tips</title></head><body bgcolor='#C0C0C0'>"
wC += "<table width='100%' height='100%'>"
wC += "<tr><td align='middle' valign='middle'>" + tipText + "</td></tr></table>"
wC += "</body></html>"
tipWin.document.open()
tipWin.document.write(wC)
tipWin.document.close()
}
function someFunc() {
tipWin.close()
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="button" onClick="someFunc();" onMouseOver="toolTip('This button navigates to Yahoo')" onMouseOut="javascript:tipWin.close();" Value="Button">
</form>
</body>
</html>Make sure that you close the window in the first line of whatever function is being triggered on the button click.
Hope this helps.

If you mean the Windows/Mac tooltip popup you just have to specify the
parameter in an image. Most everything will also take a
parameter so you could also plug that in to get the tooltip. For example:
Code:
ALT=
Code:
TITLE=
Code:
<input type=submit value="Submit" title="Submit me">Hey glowball, I just looked at your site as well as your customers' sites.
Very nice work !!
Very nice indeed !!

No Link Huh ??
That's because we're covert, undercover, stealth, top secret, and all that James Bond stuff..
Actually, I'm an ASP in the Petroleum Industry and we provide secure applications to about 30 Tier 1 customers. Those customers service about 30-50 of their own customers and the application is branded for the Tier 1 guys. Therefore, I have to sit in the background and I don't get any of the glory while my customer's get to take all the credit !!
It's kinda nice though because we don't need a corporate presence. If they only knew we were still working out of our garage !! LOL

That sounds so... important! Would kind of be bad to be in the background all the time though, I can see what you mean. I've been pretty lucky so far *fingers crossed* and get a lot of exposure.
Don't work too hard, good to know I have to check my sarcasm now, hehh... have a good one!

I'm sorry Glowball and ToddWW, to interupt your discussion LOL but here is someting for Lotruth :
Take a look at these sites :
and at this page you have to look at the examples "Popups" and "Image Map Popup". You can hardly read it, but it's the 1st row (1st and 2nd colomn)
Hope this helps,
