Support,

I have a form that includes HTML cells that will be links. I would like the links to include tool tips.

Using HTML described in "The title attribute" section of http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/toolmsg.shtml, I find that the link appears properly on the AwareIM form, but the tool tip does NOT appear. When I use the same HTML in a seperate .htm file & open it in my browser, the tool tip appears as expected.

An example of the HTML used in both the AwareIM form & the seperate .htm file is:
<a href="http://www.cnn.com/" title="CNN tool tip">CNN display words</a>

This is likely to be a CSS style problem. Try to create your own CSS style and assign this style to your link, e.g. <a class="myclass" ...

See if it makes any difference

I haven't learned CSS yet. If anyone can suggest the rest of the CSS that would be needed, that would be a HUGE help!

Thanks!
Tom

I looked at the Ordering sample app & found a clue in welcome_ordering_oper.html

This HTML in the form cell got a tooltip to appear:
<class=myclass><a href="http://www.cnn.com/" title="CNN tool tip">CNN display words</a>

Thanks!
Tom

In case anyone is interested, a further example of how to get links to show up with tool tips, underline & a different color on hover:

}
</style>

<class=quick_link><a href="http://www.cnn.com/" title="CNN web site in a new window">CNN</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp
<class=quick_link><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/" title="Fox News web site in a new window">Fox News</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp
<class=quick_link><a href="http://www.cnnsi.com/" title="Sports Illustrated web site">Sports Illustrated</a>

PS -- the tool tip does not totally make sense. These links as shown will not open in a new window.
