Creating Popup Help Text

Hello All.
I've created an HTML Text region containing a List of hypertext links. What I am trying to do is to have a text message appear below the region whenever a user hovers over a given link. This message will explain something about the link.
I created a "HELP Region" in which I wrote some help text specific to a given link. But I don't know how to get this text to appear only when a user hovers over a specific link. This help text should appear BELOW the region containing the list of links.
Is there any way to do this?
Should I be using Javascript? If so, does anyone have an example they can show me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Ok in response to your questions:
1) In my APEX regions, where exactly do I place this
javascript. I'm new to using APEX, and so, I'm not
sure where it goes.The best way to do this would be to put the javascript functions into a separate file eg showHide.js.
You can then import this into your application by adding it to the top of your template using HTML. This means you don't have to add it for every page, and it will also only be imported once per session, when user first enters the application. For the onMouseOver and onMouseOut bits, they need to be added to the "HTML Form Element Attributes" in the "Element" section of the page item you want the region to use to make the region appear.
2) Do you think there is a way to toggle the actual
language used in my text messages that I will be
showing/hiding? In other words, is there some sort
of
language like options in javascript that allow for
display of different languages such as Arabic or
German?ApEx does have language translation, but I believe this is only for things such as titles, and headers etc, not for free text. With regards to "toggling" a language, you could create mulitple regions with each language, and then display them conditionally based on the language settings of the browser?
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful on the last question, but let me know how you get on. Let me know if you have any further questions.
All the best,
Cj

  • Create popup help/information

    Is it possible to create feature that when I rest the mouse curser on a certain area on the front panel (while executing) a pre-set help/information will be shown similar to what the windows explorer (it shows the file information when mouse is rested on top of that file)?

    Yes, it's possible, but in a different way.
    First off, place the picture you need on the front panel (for example, above a control), where do you want it to pop up. Then, create a property node with the "visible" property.
    Then, place an event structure on the block diagram, and handle the "mouse entered" and "mouse exited" events to toggle the property.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to put an image in the popup help of a page item?

    I am using APEX 2.2. I want to put an image in the help text of a page input item.
    This is the help text:
    Some help text....
    <p><img src="&APP_IMAGES.auto_lov.jpg" /></p>This is rendered as:
    <p><img src="wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=0&p_flow_id=103&p_fname=auto_lov.jpg" /></p>As you can see, the application id is not returned.
    If I put exactly the same text in a html region, the image is correctly displayed:
    <p><img src="wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=844129086577364&p_flow_id=103&p_fname=auto_lov.jpg" />So, is it possible at all to put in image in the popup help text of a page item?

    I solved it by putting the jpg file in an images directory on the web server instead of in the database. Not really what I want, but it works.
    <p><img src="&IMAGE_PREFIX./apps/auto_lov.jpg" /></p>

  • How do I create links from my help text to my software program?

    I have finished all of my online help text documentation using RoboHelp 8. I would like to create a help button in my software that a user could click on to find more information about a specific part of the program in the online help text. I would like to know how to view the absolute paths in RH8 of the help text so that I can link it to the software. Currently, when I go to my online help text is only shows me the http://www.sitename.com. and nothing more for any of the topics.

    Hi,
    Since your help is online, I assume you're using webhelp. Calling the help context sensitive is a joint venture between the help and the application. See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm for help calling your help. If it doesn't help, please post back.

  • Need Help - Text Created in Illustrator Blurry when Transfered into PS

    Hello,
    I've been working on items in Illustrator, and noticed a HUGE change when I transfer them into Photoshop.  What I am doing is creating images (and text) in Illustrator. 
    Then I select, Control + C to copy, then I paste into my 300dpi document in Photoshop to add textures, etc.  Once they are brought in... the text is pixelated and not clear like it is in Illustrator.
    What am I doing wrong?  Or how do I fix this?
    Left (is the Photoshop Image) AFTER Transfer ------ Right (Original Image in Illustrator)

    I opened your CC file in CS6, and it looked rastered. I opened the smart object, copied and pasted a new smart object and now this looks good now. (I had to substitute Arno Pro Bold since I did not have your font). This may be a CC issue, so if anyone with CC can help out, try downloading the file.
    Check your clipboard settings against mine. Try from Illsutrator saving as a .eps and placing taht .eps as a smart object.

  • Create a popup help window with javahelp

    hi:
    As the title states, I want to create a popup help window. I know there is
    a short hand, which uses "DisplayHelpFromSource(helpset)" as an action event. Then add this event to listener. I don't use this way, since
    I need to reserve the structure below (which implements actionListener interface). Any idea?
    * When user click the "help" button, "createHelpViewer" will create
    * a user help window & popup.
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            try {
                MainFrame.getReference().createHelpViewer(javaHelpFrame);
            catch (GeneralException ex) {
                ErrorHandler.errDialog(ex.getDescription(), CommonUtil
                        .getActionName(this), ex);
         * Create java help viewer
        public void createHelpViewer(JInternalFrame javaHelpFrame) throws GeneralException {
            if (javaHelpFrame != null) {
                return;
            String mainHSName = "gui/files/jhelpset.hs";
            HelpSet mainHS = null;
            // Create helpset
            try {
                ClassLoader cl = this.getClass().getClassLoader();

            catch (Exception ex) {
                throw new GeneralException(
                        "Help Set " + mainHSName + " not found",
                        ex);
            // Display javahelp

  • Javascript popup help

    I have a sliced calendar and I want users to be able to click
    on the event logo on the calendar and a have a popup window come up
    similar to what is here
    http://sports-ak.espn.go.com/ncb/rankings
    similar to what comes up when you click on the "Add Widget" link
    near the top, under the heading. I see that the code is a .js, but
    all I want is a popup like that that has text and maybe a map in
    it, all html in the popup "window." I want the popup on the same
    page, none of the browser-specific bars, the popup itself should
    look the same on IE or Firefox.

    Hello,
    >> Then there are 4 'question mark' buttons (one ? button next to the main button on the page) providing 'help/hint' what is each button for.
    One more clarification. How did you define these buttons? Did you use free HTML code or are you using APEX buttons (among items)? The problem with the latter is that they are not support firing JS code.
    In general, I believe you have two major options. It’s all depends on the amount of help text you want to display, and how/if you want to format it.
    The simplest way would be to use the JS alert statement, in order to display short and focus information. If that is not enough, and you want to mimic the items help system, you’ll need to create the proper infrastructure – a table to hold your help content and a PK to identify it. In that case, you can construct a proper help page, and display it as a popup window, using the built-in popupURL() JS function.

    Arie.

  • Displaying the Popup Help

    It was my assumption that whatever text we attach to the comments of the database columns get associated with the help text in the popup help for all the items created when a region is based on that table.
    I surely remember I saw that initially. But now its not happening. Any clue?
    Thanks

  • How to create a Help page from a file

    Hello,
    I have a new APEX application and someone made a nice help document using MS Word.
    How could I inlcude that file into a Help Page, or some ideas on how this could be seen by the users?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Apex has a facility whereby you can create a context sensitive help page facility.
    see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/bldapp_hlp.htm#CHDCDBFB
    With your help document, save the section relevant to a page as a separate document and save it as a filtered web page. Edit this document in a plain text editor and cut and paste this into the help text for the page.
    When you select help from the navigation bar, then this help text will be shown for the current page. To make it even fancier, you can define the link for the navigation bar to show the help page as a popup, so that you don't loose the current context in the application.
    Regards

  • Help text

    Hello,
    after creating a page and creating a new Help Text region
    as followed from http://htmldb.oracle.com/i/doc/mvl_design011.htm#sthref1159
    I always received an error:
    ERROR 4322- Request for help did not use proper syntax. Request was null when expecting a valid page number.
    Has anybody the same problem?
    Thanks for helping.
    My

    My - I think maybe you are using the 1.5 version. If so, you should upgrade to 1.6.1. But in any version, the help text region belongs on a dedicated page, i.e., there should be only one page with a help text region and your help popup icon links to that page. You edit the help text for each individual page in the Page Attributes page for each page.

  • Help Text for Webdynpro Application

    Hi Guys,
    I've created a "Help" link. clicking on it displays a popup  Help_Window. I want to display paragraph of  Text in this Help_Window.
    Is there any element available where i can enter a paragraph of text ?
    ( my goal is to create  documentation for the application. just like we do documentation for se38 programs )
    Your inputs are highly appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Arun.

    Solution :
    1. Create MIME to import the help.PDF file which contains documentation to your application
    2. In Help_View i have included the element INTERACTIVE_FORM.
    3. In method WDDOINIT of HELP_VIEW  i have included the following code to call the help.pdf file
      data:
        mime_repository type ref to if_mr_api,
        content type xstring,
        url type string value '/SAP/BC/WebDynpro/SAP/WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY/test.pdf'.
      mime_repository = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
      call method mime_repository->get
        exporting
          i_url = url
        importing
          e_content = content.
      wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'PDF' value = content ).
    4. on clicking the help link from my main window i'm calling the HELP_VIEW as a popup window. in this window it displays the help.pdf file which give the documentation about the application.
    check example - WDR_TEST_ADOBE_PDF_ONLY

  • Different contact options when creating a new text message

    Hi all,
    On my Q10, I have the following "issue":
    When I want to type a new sms message to somebody listed in my contacts, I get not only the mobile phone number linked to that contact person but also e-mail addresses, fixed number...
    Is there any way I can change a setting for this so that only mobile numbers are displayed while creating a new text message (SMS)? Fixed phone number and mail addresses are just not relevant.
    On the other hand, when I want to create a new e-mail, I only see the mail addresses of my contact I am sending to.
    In my blackberry HUB I have following account (most probably the reason why I see other contact details while creating new text messages):
    Mail
    Facebook
    LinkedIn
    Please advise.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
