Greetings:

In Front page 2000 I want to be able to display a note or
text when the curser touches a certain part of the page.
For example, when the curser points to a picture or a line
in text.

What is the easiest way to do this? Can I use any of the
insert commands?

Thanks

Baha

For pictures, display the Picture Properties dialog box and enter the text
you want in the Alternate Representations, Text box.

For other tags, switch to HTML view and enter a title attribute such as

<p title="This is it.">Paragraph content</p>

You have to manually insert a Title attribute to the image tag in HTML View:

Alt="my photo" Title="My photo"

I am not sure how you would add it to text, when the text is not a link, as I haven't had a need to
do this yet, so you will need to wait for someone else to answer that part.

Alt attributes are only (incorrectly) displayed by IE4+, I believe. No
other browser will display it UNLESS you have elected not to download
graphics in which case all browsers will then display the alt attribute's
contents. If you want a reliable tooltip, you will have to use the title
attribute throughout.

What you are looking for is called a tool-tip, and on FP2000
you need to enter it on the html tab

You can use a title attribute (not to be confused with title
tag) on any portion of a page.

title="Sample Text"

must be as an attibute of an html tag-
<p title="Title over paragraph"></p>
<table title="Title over a table"></table>
and so on. You can even do it on the entire page.... <body
title="Title over the whole page">

If you have mulitple titles on 'layered' items, the last
elements title is what is displayed
example:
<body title="Title over the whole page">
<p title="Title over paragraph"></p>

Wherever you hover over that particular paragraph, you will
get the 'Title over paragraph". If you hover elsewher on
the page, you will get "Title over whole page"

alt attribute- used on images as a placeholder for those who
do not allow images. IE will show this as a tool-tip when
the title attribute is not used. Other browsers will not
display the alt information as a tool tip. It is important
to use the alt attribute anyways, as search engines use the
alt information also

If you just want it on a portion of a paragraph, you can use
it in a <span>.
eg....

I have a lot of text here, and the tool tip will display
only over <span title="You found the tooltip">this</span>
word.
