Add tooltip text to a Custom Toolbar Item (attached to Skin)

[EmmaHWriter]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know of a quick way of creating tooltip text when you hover over a custom button?

I have created a Feedback button. I want the button to be labelled "Feedback" but would like the hover text to say something like " Send email to Support".

There is an OnMouseOver option but I can't work how to make this happen, or if this way is actually a valid option.

Thanks very much.

What kind of button did you create? Did add a form button or an image? For a form button you need to use some JavaScript, see http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/?whichScript=form-field-tooltip

The OnMouseOver option requires JavaScript and you cannot simply add a title.

Hi William,

I created a new toolbar button in the Web Skin Editor.

The link provided no longer links to a valid page - just says Page Does Not Exist.

Thanks,

Emma

Hmmm... Google "form field tooltip", The link pointed to the second result I got.

Wondering if adding an image to the button to indicate eMail would do the job?

I'm sure an image would do the job. Thanks for your suggestion. I guess it's now more a matter of curiosity and a 'nice to have' if it can be done.

Cheers,
