Mysterious values appearing in Mouse-Overs

I am new to Xcelsius (I still have troubles spelling it) and I would greatly appreciate a bit of guidance.
I created a line chart, with the X-axis representing every month and year from January 2000 to the present. When graphed, the month/year category labels are horribly blurred, because there are so many of them.  As a workaround, I created  another set of category labels to represent January and June of each year. That works fine.  However, when users mouse-over the graphed line, a mysterious value sometimes appears where the month-year should appear.  These mysterious values appear only for those months that do not have X-axis labels.  For instance, since I have a category label for January 2002, January 2002 and itu2019s data value appear in the mouse-over fly-out. Since February 2002 does not have a month/year value, a mysterious number appears, with the February 2002 data value.  I think I know what the mysterious value is, but it is really unwanted, I didnu2019t put it there, and I canu2019t get rid of it.  How do I get rid of the mysterious numbers, and keep the data values, or --  better yet  -- trick the mouse-over to show the original X-axis containing all the month/years? 
Thanks for your help.

Hi BookWorm
The trick to this is to have a second line chart which is used only to display the category values.  The main chart still contains your full data but has the category labels hidden.  Getting them lined up with a lot of data like you have can be a faff but it does work well.
Contact me via my profile and I'll send you an example.

  • Anyone know how to make an image appear during mouse over of a hyperlink?

    I have a list of hyperlinks here: http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/Site/movieroyal_davidphelps.html
    I would like a small image associated with each link to appear close to the link during mouse over.
    These links are the titles of individual artwork, but that isn't as meaningful as it would be if an image could appear upon mouse over. I tried doing an image of text swap with an image of the piece during mouse over, but that took up too much space on the page.
    Thanks, David

    You could use a tooltip. Here's one....

  • How do I keep the name tags in Picasa Web Albums from appearing on the images by default? With Explorer, name tags only appear when mousing over the image, but with Firefox, all the tags appear on the picture as soon as it is loaded, which looks messy.

    I use Picasa to create web albums, and I tag people who appear in the pictures. With Explorer, the name tags do not appear on the pictures until I mouse over a specific person, at which point the tag appears. With Firefox, the name tags appear as soon as the picture is loaded, and only disappear when you mouse over the people in the picture. This makes the picture look messy; by default, one would want to see a picture without tags all over people's faces.
    The only way to "fix" this is to disable the name tags completely (or tell people to use Explorer!), but this is not an ideal solution, since I would like to be able to share albums with people's names in them.

  • Flex app doesnt not appear until mouse over?

    I have a flex app embeded into a web page. It seems to work right in FF and Chrome but all the IE users it is just blank, and stays blank until you move the mouse over the blank spot where it is supposed to be...then it appears instantly. Does anyone have any clue why or how to fix this?
    Thanks!!

  • Mouseover text box only briefly appears when mousing over a link.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Mouse Over Value in Pie Chart

    I have two questions -
    1. How do i restrict the no. of decimals in the Mouse Over values for Percentage in a Pie Chart ? The numeric values i can control but the percentage (which the system calculates) seems to be set at default two decimal places.
    2. While displaying the labels even though i am using the ouside end, inside end etc options - i can't seem to control the overlapping of a few labels. Offsetting is something that i need to do by hit and trial. too slow. and not all need to be offsetted. Can i selectively offset for a data point ?
    Please help....Cheers...

    Hi:
       For question1, do you mean the "Data Label->Percentage" right? I think the "Mouse-Over Values" could be set decimal places easily from  "Appearance->Text->Mouse-Over Values", but for "Data Label->Percentage" there is no direct way to show its decimal places. You can use "Label" component to build your percentage you like manually.
      For question2, if all position setting could not fit your need, you can also use label component to build your custom Data Labels.

  • Xcelsius/Dashboard Design - mouse over capability doesn't work/losing hover

    Hello there,  I am currently in a tough situation.  If any Xcelsius gurus can provide me with a solution, I would very much appreciate your help.
    I currently have a dashboard with pie chart component in the default view.  It has a radio button with two values.  The mouse over doesn't work when the dashboard is loaded.  However, when I make a selection in the radio button, the mouse over works for both the options.  I have noticed this is a bug but if anyone has a solution or way around it, let me know.
    Another issue - I have a 'All' view and 'Region' views in the menu bar.  When a user clicks on a particular Region, then clicks all and goes back to a region, I lose the drill down capability on the pie chart thats on the Region view.  initially, the mouse over and drill down works fine.  However, after going to the All view and coming back to a region, this capability is lost.  It acts the same way as the problem above.  User can't hover nor drill down.  If anyone has a solution to this, let me know.

    FYI this is the article on the main forum page:
    Announcement: New to Spry, or  the Spry forums?
    Hide Details
    Before you post a topic please verify that:
    You are using the latest Spry files
    The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
    After that we will have a look at your code.

  • Mouse Over on Dock Stopped Working.

    This is an odd problem.
    The dock won't appear on mouse over and the icons won't magnify either.
    I haven't changed anything and I've reset the pram.
    Any advice?

    To reset your Dock to the original settings navigate to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/ and find com.apple.dock.plist in there. Trash that file and restart the computer. That will put the Dock the way it was when you first got the machine.
    Then you can go back into System Preferences and click on Dock to customize it to your liking.
    If that fails... looks like Archive/Install.

  • Problem with mouse-over value on a column chart (by Series)

    Hi.
    First of all thanks for any offered tip.
    I am having a problem with a column chart.
    When I move the mouse over a column it should show a small pop-up (or tip) with the column name (series name) and the value (series value). The problem is that it displays an extra '1' just like the following:
    SeriesName
    1
    X.XXX
    How can I remove the extra '1' and only show the name and the value ?
    The data is populated by series (manually added).
    Mihai.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the tip Shanthakumar KA.
    Yes. It looks like the '1' is coming from the X Axis labels. The chart that I have built does not require any labels on the X Axis, so this was not set (X-Axis labels: Empty). I tried setting this to an empty cell, but the '1' still appears in the mouse-over tip.
    It is very weird. If I leave the X-Axis labels empty, I still get the '1' displayed which is very annoing.
    Are there any solutions for this except the re-building the tip with a label a.k.a. '[customize the mouse over values|http://xcelsiusandme.blogspot.com/2009/07/xm-sample-7-customizing-mouse-over.html].'

  • Mouse-over values

    Is there a way to define mouse-over values?
    Thanks,
    Wen

    No Problem.
    I was assuming that you know you can change the font/size/colour etc in the Appearance > Text tab.
    But as for defining what is shown in the Mouse-Over, then that is a no.
    The SAP guys read these forums so I'm sure your request will be noticed.

  • How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

    Hi people,
    I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
    The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
    Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

    Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
    <div id="apDiv2"><a href="index.html"><img src="divs_dw/jtgd_logo_trans.png" alt="jtgd_logo" title="your description goes here" width="176" height="163" /></a></div>

  • Customize Mouse over values when hovering on a chart data point

    Hi
    Can someone please help me here? I have a dashboard which displays 4 series in a combinational chart. Along with the numeric values, I have another column which displays the commentary / justification of a data point on a particular date.
    I want to show this as a mouse over value to change when user hovers over different dates.
    Is it possible?

  • I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 OS, and I want to know how to disable the small window that appears when I hover my mouse over a tab, bookmark, etc.

    Okay, so when I'm using Firefox, say I have multiple window open, I hover my mouse over a window's panel at the bottom of the screen and a small box appears telling me about the webpage on that panel. The same thing occurs when I hover over a tab or a bookmark, it's very annoying and frequently blocks my cursor when I'm trying to work. How can I disable this feature?

    I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.

  • When I mouse over an active tab, a circular "block" symbol appears and prevents me from either clicking on or closing the tab

    When I am in FireFox, and I mouse over any area that would normally allow me to do something, like select a tab, close a tab, or even fill text into this details box, a circular "block" symbol appears and prevents me from entering or doing anything. I have scanned all of the installed programs in the Control Panel and removed anything suspicious and reviewed addons and the like in FireFox, all to no avail. BTW, this problem does NOT occur while in Google Chrome, but I much prefer FireFox. Help!!!
