I am using an swap-image based menu (DHTML Menu version 3.3.19). I've included alt tags on the image links. How can I change the properties of the alt tags so the resulting tooltips don't look so generic? Can I change the font sizes and colors? How about the tooltip background?
Will really appreciate any help with this. Thanks!
Can alt tag properties be defined?
Hi Andy,
I've already added alt tags to images in version 3 and it works. The only problem is that the resulting text displays generically like any alt text on an image. Are you saying that with version 5 the properties of the alt text can be changed? Can you point me toward an example?
Thanks,
Kathy

You'll need the tooltips code.
If you view the samples menu on our homepage, you should see a tooltip appear after about one second.

Hope this helps

Hi Andy,
I was able to add tooltips to a text menu but the script hosed when I tried to add it to an swap-image based menu. Here is an example of my image-based menu item:
aI("url=/Formation.htm;image=formation.gif;overimage=formation_over.gif;");
I don't see any examples of how to add tooltips to that type of menu. Can you please provide one?
Thanks!

Andy,
I figured out how to make the tooltips work with the swap-image menu!! No need for an example. Now, the only thing that is still a problem is the placement of the menu. With Version 3, I was able to use PlaceMenu to position the menu within a table. Can't seem to make it work with Version 5+. This is what I used in Version 3 to place the menu within the table cell:
<pre><script>PlaceMenu("mainmenu")</script></pre>
Any idea how I can use PlaceMenu to position the menu in Version 5?
Thanks,

Hi,
PlaceMenu is now obsolete for version 5.0
V5 can actually fit directly into the table cell as a relative object. Take a look at the docs for this here: http://milonic.com/tablemenu.php - also, download is here: http://milonic.com/menusample9.php
I wish it were as straight forward as just adding the menu to the table cell but unfortunately there are a few complexities, the document should explain all, let me know if not.
Cheers
Andy
