Tooltips

I have followed what I believe are the directions for adding a tooltip to an image (in this case in the A Master), by right-clicking on the image and insertinf text for the tooltip and the alternative text, but it doesn't seem to work in Preview or in my browser. What am I doing wrong?

Hi
Have you inserted text frame in container of tooltip ? and on mouse action the text is not showing up on page ?
Without screenshots or exact steps you took it would be hard to guess, can you please upload few screenshots as what shows up in preview what you have setup in design mode along with details as you have inserted image as well text in tooltip container or trigger area.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

You've probably found an answer to this by now, but I think this has been addressed in another forum -- The link below suggested using a button and adding the tooltip to the button.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/304974?start=0&tstart=0
Sounds like it would work but I haven't actually tried it.
Good luck~!

Can we have a Single quote in the tooltip text?

Hi,
We have some tooltips for the presentation columns which contains a single quote.
When I try to view the tooltip from answers the single quote is being replaced by double quotes.
I tried to use all sorts of escape characters for single quote, like "\'" and ''' and "'" but that didn't work.
Is there any way to do this.
Thanks!!
Vasantha.P

As I said in my earlier post, I am looking for the tooltips for the Presentation tables and columns. The tooltips for these were extracted from the RPD using the externalize Strings option and these externalized strings are stored in the database.
So I am escaping the single using a single quote both in rpd and in the database.
Example text I have used both in the rpd and database is something like "Shipment's start time". I tried with "Shipment''s start time", " Shipment'''s start time", but it didn't work.
Thanks!!

Using a variable in Spry conditional tests included in a Spry Tooltip

I have the following code:
<div spry:region="company" id="tooltip">
<div spry:repeat="company" spry:choose="spry:choose">
<div spry:when="'{name}'==memberName">
<table>
<tr>
<td
align="center"><h2>{name}</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><img src="{headshot}"
alt="{name}" width="227" height="350" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">{description}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tooltip_trigger_one = new
Spry.Widget.Tooltip("tooltip","#trigger", {showDelay: 200,
hideDelay: 200, offsetX: 250, offsetY: 200} );
</script>
where the variable "memberName" is set elsewhere to a value
that matches one of the occurrences in the column "name" in the
dataset "company". I can see, using debugging tools, that the
variable is being set correctly. But.... when the tooltip is
triggered, only a small few-pixel square box opens up.
If, instead of using the variable "memberName" in:
<div spry:when="'{name}'==memberName">
I use a string, as in
<div spry:when="'{name}'=='John Doe'">
then the code works correctly and I get a large tootlip
showing me the correct information for that member of the company.
I have tried different tests (spry:if and spry:test for
instance), tried various combinations of quotes and parenthesis and
tried placing the code at various places both inside and outside of
the <body> -- but always get the same results.
Is it not possible to test against a variable or am I doing
something else incorrectly?
Thanks,
Janet

OK.... some progress to report.
I was setting memberName onmouseover-- which is also the
trigger for the tooltip-- thusly:
<p><em onmouseover="memberName='John Doe'"
id="trigger">John Doe</em></p>
It seems that the variable is being set, but too late, as the
trigger has already caused the div... id="tooltip"> to be
evaluated with "memberName" not equal to any of the names in the
dataset. I tried using a function call to set "memberName" and
tried putting the onmouseover in the <p> tag and leaving the
trigger id in the <em> tag. but neither of those appear to
change the outcome. "memberName" still appears to be set to the
value I initialized it to up the the <head> section at the
time the tooltip <div> is evaluated. Although it is set
correctly if I check it's value using Firebug after I have
mouse-overed it.
Incidentally, using a Firebug breakpoint just before the
<div spry:when...> and checking the value of memberName was
how I discovered that "memberName" still seemed to have a value of
"initialized" which is what I set it to up in the <head>
section.
Having written all of this, I am wondering though, shouldn't
the value of "memberName" be equal to "John Doe" the second time I
mouseover it? Or, if there are more than one trigger "names" on the
page, shouldn't "memberName" be equal to the name of the previous
trigger that I moused-over? And with memberName having a legitimate
value at that point, shouldn't the tooltip now show the correct
display information rather than just that little few pixel square
box that I am getting when I mouse-over the trigger name?
Clearly there is something that I just am not understanding.

Dreamweaver adding div height in tooltip?

I dont normally use dreamweaver, but I must for this project,
in dreamweaver for some bizarre reason the tooltip says height 50px
(54px) and has added 4pxs to an image in a div. Anyone know why? It
aligns in the browsers, IE 6, firefox, but why has dreamweaver
added these 4 pixels and given it a gap in dreamweaver?
Picture example:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/spensley/dreamweaverbug.jpg
anyone know why and what this is all about?
The css:
#logo{
top: 30px;
width:126px;
height: 51px;
padding:0px;
float: left;
html:
<div id="logo"><a href="index.html"><img
src="media/images/gtfLogo.jpg" title="GTF logo" alt="GTF logo
design" longdesc="three circles showing the letters G, T and F in
orange and green" width="126"
height="51"/><a/></div>

Oops - sorry - missed the CSS.
You have a munged <a> tag -
orange and green" width="126" height="51"/><a/></
should be -
orange and green" width="126" height="51"/></a></
Does that solve the problem?

ToolTip positioning and volume 'hit' area problem

Hello,
I have been working on re-skinning the player that comes with Adobe's FMS, in flex builder 3 and I would really appreciate some help on the following issues.
1. Positioning the tooltips. I have figured out how to change the style of these (text, background opacity etc) via the embedStyle.css, no problems with that. However, I just cannot figure out how to actually reposition them from the default position of the bottom right.
2. My volume control (volume slider) sits above my progress bar on the players GUI. You can drag both of these to adjust. However, when the progress bar is under the volume bar the progress bar loose it's interactivity. The volume slider only has a height of 2, but it appears that it's actual button 'hit' area is sitting over the progress bar.
I have do a stack of googling on these but I am still hitting a wall with it. Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

To add to this question: What is the best way to continue the animation until the end when the user exits the hit area instead of just jumping back to the Up state?
Thanks
Daniel

Problem with tooltips and spry data using startLoadInterval

I am trying to use tooltips with a dynamic table using the spry data example at the bottom of the page:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/tooltip_overview/index.html
I have it working except that it appears to have a memory leak as firefox's memory usage continues to grow.
I did notice there is a 'new' inside the onPostUpdate:function that is being called on every table update.
So after looking at the tooltip code I modified the function to:
<script type="text/javascript">
var tt1;
var observer = {onPostUpdate:function(){if(tt1 == null){tt1 = new Spry.Widget.Tooltip('tooltip','.trigger');}else{tt1.destroy(); tt1.destroy();if(tt1.checkDestroyed()) alert("destroyed");else alert("not destroyed");delete tt1; tt1 = new Spry.Widget.Tooltip('tooltip','.trigger');}}}
Spry.Data.Region.addObserver('mainRegion', observer);
</script>
The tt1.checkDestroyed() always returns false and my memory usage continues to grow.
Any help?

Thanks for the reply. I found a way to get it to work by changing my
observer function to the following:
else{tt1.destroy();
tt1.init('.trigger', 'tooltip',
{});tt1.attachBehaviors();Spry.Widget.Tooltip.loadQueue.push(tt1);}}
Probably not very clean but it doesnt grow memory and works correctly.
I just put it back to the old way as in the example with a
startLoadInterval(1500) :
And I am over 500MB after ~ 30 minutes where as the top code above ran with
a startLoadInterval(1500); overnight and is about ~120MB.
I am using a double repeatchildren loop to build a table with tooltips for
each cell which may affect it.
Bottom line is I have a way to make it work so I am moving forward. If you
still want to see it I might be able to get it up on the internet and give
you a link.
Thanks,

Manipulate y-axis of built-in tooltip?

Hi all,
     Quick question...is there a way to manipulate the y-axis position of a tooltip without using a custom tooltip? For example, I have an image that has uses the builtin tooltip and I need to have it display above the image.
     I have a series of images, side by side, in the bottom right of my screen...when a user hovers over one of the images, because they are already grounded in the bottom right, the tooltip shows up and covers the images so the user has to really pay attention to the text to realize which image they are clicking.
<mx:Image id="cascadePic" source="{cascadeBtn}" buttonMode="true" click="cascadeWindows()" verticalCenter="0" right="70" toolTip="Click to rearrange your widgets staggered one on another." />
     I'm trying to see if there is an easy way to deal with this without having to dig into custom tooltips.
Appreciate the help!
Adrian

Nope. If you want to move the tooltip, tou need to use ToolTipManager:

How to assign a tooltip for a field in ALV editable grid?

I have to display some instructions ( 50 chars long) for an editable field in alv.
How to do this?
BCALV_DEMO_TOOLTIP tells about assiging tooltip to an icon or symbol.
Thanks,
Ven..

Neither of these two example programs help much in regards to tooltips against any field of any row. Both of these examples use tooltips for Icons. I have also been looking for a single example of tooltips usage outside of these two programs, and have found nothing in SAP, or on the internet, so far.
Having said that, I have tried to implement the same method used by the later example, but have not got this to work. What I think we need is an example of this functionality where these Icons are not used!. I believe.

OnMouseOver displays Tooltip from hidden column of classic report

What: The Goal:
Make easily available more information than fits on one line of the screen without using multiple fixed lines.
Background:
Classic report with 18 data items (columns) visible. Has Search box and user can choose number of rows displayed.
A couple data items can be long (20-30 characters) compared to the screen width. The right-most data item might run 100 characters.
Proposed Strategy:
1) Display the first n characters of the long item(s) on the report.
2) On onMouseOver display the entire item.
Proposed Approach:
1) For each column with long data, hold the entire value in a hidden item.
2) Display long (hidden) value in tooltip (bubble?/balloon?) upon onMouseOver of that value.
Note: This is not ToolTip/Help for a column but display of the long value for a specifc item in the row of a column.
Sought After Feature:
1) To reduce maintenance, would like to implement for multiple columns using a single common block of code.
Question:
Given other approaches you know, is this a good approach to achieve the goal? Alternative approaches?

Well it took a while and you really made me work for this. :)
For the end result hover on the Job Ln Nm column.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=991202:1
I added some old code I had laying around. It adds a bubble that will stay up for 5 sec or until you click away or hover on another record.
What I would do at this point is just truncate (with a substr) the length of the Long Nm to something short. Use whatever indicator you want for the hover. Like for example these glasses <img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#Fndview1.gif"> It's really up to you.
You'll see there's an AJAX Callback PLSQL where you can retreive and format the content of the popup to whatever you want. You could make it real pretty.
Here's what I did:
1. New ShowJob javascript procedure.
function ShowJob(pThis,pId){
     this.dTimeout;
     clearTimeout(this.dTimeout);
     this.dGet = dGet;
     this.dShow = dShow;
     this.dCancel = dCancel;
     var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=FULL_LONG_NAME',$v('pFlowStepId'));
     this.dGet();
     return;
     function dGet(){
           this.dTimeout = setTimeout("this.dCancel()",6500);
          get.addParam('x01',pId);
           get.GetAsync(dShow);
     function dShow(){
           $x_Hide('rollover');
           if(p.readyState == 1){
           }else if(p.readyState == 2){
           }else if(p.readyState == 3){
           }else if(p.readyState == 4){
                 $x('rollover_content').innerHTML = p.responseText;
                 $x_Show('rollover');
            var l = findPosX(pThis)+pThis.offsetWidth+5;
                 var t = findPosY(pThis);
            $x_Style('rollover','left',l + 'px');
                 $x_Style('rollover','top',t + 'px');
// This math would center on the vertical
//                 $x_Style('rollover','left',findPosX(pThis)+pThis.offsetWidth+5);
//                 $x_Style('rollover','top',findPosY(pThis)-($x('rollover').offsetHeight/2)+($x(pThis).offsetHeight/2));
               document.onclick = function(e){
               dCheckClick(e);
           }else{return false;}
     function dCheckClick(e){
          var elem = html_GetTarget(e);
          try{
                    var lTable = $x_UpTill(elem,"DIV");
                    if(lTable.id!='rollover_content'){dCancel();}
                    else{}
          }catch(err){dCancel();}
     function dCancel(){
           $x_Hide('rollover');
          document.onclick = null;
           get = null;
}2. Rollover div on the page footer (div id="rollover"...). Of course this could be a region also.
<div id="rollover" style="display:none;color:black;background:#FFF;border:2px solid #369;width:290px;position:absolute;padding:4px;">
<div id="rollover_content"></div>
</div>
3. PLSQL AJAX Callback. : FULL_LONG_NAME
-- select your value with apex_application.g_x01
htp.p('You hover over ' || apex_application.g_x01 || '<br>');
htp.p('Here is the Full Long Name: XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX 1234565');4. Changed Long Nm column to be a link with the onmouseover call that calls the new procedure ShowJob. I made the assumption that with the NUM parameter you could fetch the full record of what you need.
onmouseover="ShowJob(this,#NUM#)"
That should be it.
Let me know what you think.

How do I add an autoSize function to a Tooltip (AS 2)?

Hi,
I downloaded an Interactive Map from Active Den ... it came with an XML file that allows me to change some parts, but the part thatI need to change is not covered in the XML ... it needs to be changed in the Action Script.
You can see the map here http://vnd-ink.com/Pat/main/index1.html
Basically when a landmark is moused over ... a box pops up that contains hrml (images, text. links, etc)
The XML file allows me to set the max width of the pop up box.
The issue is that i need a box that is 225 px wide ... I also need another box that is 400 px wide
The XML only allows me the set one width ... so I need another box (one for vertical layout, and one for horizontal layout)
I thought I could duplicate the pop up box mc, and the box's Action Script (give them different names) and that would work, but I don't know exactly which parts to edit.
I posted the XML file, and the Action Script beneath the map here http://vnd-ink.com/Pat/main/index1.html
Also, there is a screen shot of all movie clips, but the only mc that has any actions attached to it is "zoom_pan" it's at the very bottom of the list.
Been working on this a couple of days now, and getting nowhere.
If anyone could help, that would be great.
THANKS!

first thing you need is a tooltip that's positioned correctly. that will fix the displayed problem and may eliminate the need for a left, right, center tooltip.

How can I display the tooltip in a tree node?

I implement a TreeCellRenderer and has already set the tooltiptext through the following code:
    public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value,
                           boolean selected, boolean expanded,
                           boolean leaf, int row,
                              boolean hasFocus) {
        Object userObject = ((DefaultMutableTreeNode)value).getUserObject();
        if(Leaf.class.isInstance(userObject)) {
                Leaf leaf = (Leaf)userObject;
                setToolTipText(leaf.getString());
    }Why can't the tree display the tooltip when a move the mouse on the leaf of the tree?
Thank you!

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
public class Test3 extends JFrame {
public Test3() {
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Container content = getContentPane();
JTree jt = new JTree() {
public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent evt) {
if (getRowForLocation(evt.getX(), evt.getY()) == -1)
return null;
TreePath curPath = getPathForLocation(evt.getX(),

content.add(new JScrollPane(jt), BorderLayout.CENTER);
jt.setToolTipText("");
setSize(400, 400);

}It sounds a solution. I use the following code and also can display the tooltip,but there's also a problem:
    mytree.setCellRenderer(new MyTreeCellRenderer());
    ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().registerComponent(mytree);the above code only effective when the function getTreeCellRendererComponent in MyTreeCellRenderer like the following:

     String stringValue = tree.convertValueToText(value, selected,
                            expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
     setText(stringValue);
     setToolTipText(stringValue); //Tooltips used by the tree
     /* Set the icon of the node */

     if(Device.class.isInstance(userObject)) {

         Business b = (Business)userObject;
     setFont(defaultFont);
     /* Update the selected flag for the next paint. */
     this.selected = selected;
     this.hasFocus = hasFocus;
     if(selected) // && hasFocus)
         setForeground(Color.white);
     else
         setForeground(Color.black);
     return this;
    }but when the code is bellow,it displays nothing(Only the leaf node need tooltip):
    public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value,
                           boolean selected, boolean expanded,
                           boolean leaf, int row,
                              boolean hasFocus) {
     String stringValue = tree.convertValueToText(value, selected,
                            expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
     setText(stringValue);
     //setToolTipText(stringValue); //Tooltips used by the tree
     /* Set the icon of the node */
                     Object userObject = ((DefaultMutableTreeNode)value).getUserObject();
                     if(Device.class.isInstance(userObject)) {
         setIcon(deviceIcon);
     } else {
         setIcon(nullIcon);
         Business b = (Business)userObject;
         if(b.isShowOrder())
             setToolTipText(b.getContaId()); // only some node need tooltip, not all node
     setFont(defaultFont);
     /* Update the selected flag for the next paint. */
     this.selected = selected;
     this.hasFocus = hasFocus;
     if(selected) // && hasFocus)
         setForeground(Color.white);
     else
         setForeground(Color.black);
     return this;
    }Anyone knows why?

How can i have the ToolTip set to rows of the table?

hi,
I have a Dialog window that diaplays a table contating the information like student name, student id, student address etc. But the problem what i am facing now is i want ToolTip to be set to this table. i.e, when i move the cursor over this table, ToolTip must be set to the student name of the perticular Row to which the mouse is pointing.
I don't select the Row... but just move cursor over the table.
How can i achieve this?
Urgent Please....
Thanx in advance,
-Soni.

probably best to add a mousemotionlistener to the table and by probing the generated mousevent (get the location of the mouse) on moving the mouse you can change either the tooltiptext or popup your own popup menu.
