Tooltip disabled, fine but that's not what i want!

[Jerome]

Great, I have my tooltip disabled! The problem is I don't now how and I like to see it normally.

<div title="TOOLTIP"></div>

Worked great, but not anymore!

Any ideas?

And your browser is...? :p

[Jerome]

Please, i am in the best part of my life......

It is IE 5!

Now seriously, when I wrote this post reply there are some smilies, when I hover over them I got a tooltip.

On my site it worked always well, but not anymore.....

Should I try it tomorrow?

Well first off the problem might just be in your code a misstype
if you were to post some of your pages code it would be much easyer for people to tell you what the problem is! But here an idea:

<img src="blah.gif" alt="blah blah blah blah blah">

i believe that this method may only work on images but try it on other stuff or you could go as far as writing a little script to do it.
but id rather not go that try posting some of the code that is giving you the problems and im sure youll get some more helpfull posts. Its all about trial and error keep at it!

[Jerome]

Hi scriptkeeper,

Thanks for the reply!
To my knowledge ALT is for using an image (text when it's not visible yet) and TITLE is the actual tooltip-text.

Here is a piece of code which worked well:
<img src="vlag.gif" titel="SWITSERLAND">

I did not change anything between the img-tags, so it needs to be something different!

Tooltips should work from the title attribute, but IE has a buggy implementation, eg:

<a href="blah.html" title="The link title text">
<img src="pic.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="The picture alt text" />
</a>

Now mouseover it in mozilla and you'll get the tooltip "The link title text" but mouse over it in IE and you'll wrongly get "The picture alt text"

Do you have more than one browser you can try? Put the same thing in several browsers and see which ones show the tootltip; it might just be that your normal browser has gone screwy in some way - you could try re-installing it.

Hi, Brothercake

Well it's actually like this, which I really do not understand.

Surfing the web, using IE 5.0 every tooltip works well!

On my intropage, which is just a one-page html-file with some divs a little style and javascript it works well to!

Now when I open the home-page which is a html-file with an external css and js file (dhtml) it doesn't work anymore, that is it worked always well!

I have no alt text, just titels, however when I add alt texts to a picture it doesn't work either.

I have no microsoft toolbar (picture-saver) disabler, no rightclick or no no-text select scripts!

The problem is that during it worked fine till now I included a lot of functionalety, such as xml-file import, table sorting etc etc

One important notice: I use always for every variabel, global or not, every function, id, etc etc, an unique name

Unfortunately, I have just IE 5.0 and the site is local.........

Maybe I should implement Your tooltip-script, it looks awsome.....

Jerome

P.s Could it be a z-index which is to high?

[brothercake]

No it couldn't have anything to do with z-index - tooltips are system elements, they go above everything.

It all sounds to me like an application problem; if it were me I'd just do a Windows Update and cross my fingers.

Hi, Brothercake,

You're right (not that I doubt on it!). I played a little around and it's again,

- WELCOME TO THE WONDERFULL WORLD OF MICROSOFT -

Thanks for Your effort nevertheless,

Perhaps it's because you are frequently miss-spelling title as titel, if that's the way it is in your code (one of your examples seems to indicate that) then the problem may be simple.

[Jerome]

Deep, deep shame on me!!!!!!!

Your absolutly right!!

That's the problem when You are Dutch, live in Switserland and dayly speak, Dutch, English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish etc.

Thanks Roy for Your effort to analyse the problem!!

Jerome.

Oh I can relate, being in the UK - I once got stuck on <font colour="red"> for a surprisingly long time ...

[Jerome]

Bingo!

By the way - information - is a good one to in many different languages.

But that's for another forum....

Thanks for laughing!
