Newbie Q

Post by robin@squiredeck.com.au »

When I mouseover a menu on your site I sometimes get a yellow (or whatever) info box describing the menu option (like a wizard). I have downloaded a menu and cannot get it to popup using the sample HTML. Do I need to do something to activate this text? Does the status= parameter come into play?

TIA
Robin

I think you need the tooltips.js file.

Download and pop it in the same folder as your other JS files.

Put this line with your other menu call-up lines:

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="tooltips.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
and then in your menu_data.js file, simply add

Code: Select all

aI("text=Google;onfunction=showtip('The Google search engine');url=http://www.google.com;");
