(Sorry: This was originally posted - incorectly in OI32 area - but is an O4W topic)

I am trying to add a tooltip / bublbe help to a control. That is I want some help information to appear when the cursor hovers above the specified control. If I inspect the code in firebug etc looks ok - turns the script into a css title style - but no cigar. Where do I look next?

O4WSetCell(1,4)

O4WSPACE(2)

O4WText(' MyControl:',"LBL_MY_CONTROL", ) O4WSetCell(1,5) O4WTextbox(,,,'MY_CONTROL',,O4WHelpStyle(, 'Enter in some data here'))

regards

Hi, Richard. Yes, there appears to be a bug in the O4WHelpStyle API - it's generating a "style" instead of the proper HTML5 output. This should be fixed for the 9.3.2 release, but in the interim I think you can manually code around it by using the O4WDataStyle API. Instead of:

O4WHelpStyle("", "Enter in some data here")

Please use the following:

O4WDataStyle("", "title", "Enter in some data here")

And see if that works for you?

Thanks!

Excellent. Bravo - works great.

I was starting to worry - that gives me confidence and client will think I'm onto something smart.

Bad luck if you have struck wet Oz weather - we at least have snow - knee deep.

Cheers

Richard
