Tooltips not showing on html links

tootricky · Post by **tootricky** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 2:47 pm

I have just upgraded to the newest versions of the menu and tooltips but I have a problem. Tooltips used in <a href> tags just aren't working anymore. I noticed that the syntax for calling a tooltip in the menu has changed from:

onfunction=showtip(blahblah...

to

tootip=blahblah....

(wouldn't it be prudent to change the information on http://milonic.com/menusample6.php to match this new method????)

has the syntax for calling a tooltip in the html changed accordingly?

Also I have never ever ever got maxwidth in the tooltips setup to work; particularily long tooltips just display in one long line rather than wrapping.

Okay, I can offer slightly more information:

my links are like this:

<a href="#" onmouseover="showtip('Here is some tool tip text')" onmouseout="popdown()">text</a>

Windows Browsers:
Opera and IE for Windows - the tooltip displays as normal
Firefox - no tooltip

Mac Browsers:
Safari, Camino, Firefox, Opera - no tooltip.

Any one have a clue why?????

Could we have a link, please? Or post your menu_data.js file here so I can see the way you have the tooltip in that file.

Thanks Ruth,

But my problem is not with the menu tooltips; they work fine in all browsers... my problem is with static html links in the page that use tooltips: On the page above there is a tooltip link to explain "PDF"... It doesn't work in all browsers...

Thanks

Also the new tooltip= thing should be updated on this page:
http://milonic.com/menumodules.php

I just spent half an hour trying to work out why my tooltips were not working any more! I did'nt know the syntax had changed and that page still says to use showtip:

"USE: Declare the tool tip in your menu item. To do this add a menu item property called onfunction=showtip to your menu items like this: onfunction=showtip('Your Text Here');"
