Screentip

[JEROME]

I need a cell to have a screen tip added as there is not enough room for the
text. It seems that I have to have a hyperlink before the OK button is
pushable.
Is there a way round this as I dont need a hyperlink.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jerome,

Sorry but the question does not make much sense. To produce a screen tip use the title attribute.

BE CAREFUL HERE!!! In FP 2003 by using the "Interactive Button" feature, the
"title attribute" function takes precedence over the screen tip feature.
Hence, in order to have a customized screentip along with your interactive
button, you must delete the associated title attribute that goes along with
your button (i.e. alt="Button Text") where "Button Text" is the name on the
interactive button that appears on your web page.

Not correct.
The alt text in any image tag (including interactive buttons) should be left
in place for those browsers that do not display images. Browsers that
display title text will show the alt text if the image does not display for
any reason, and the title text on mouseover.

NN4 will display the alt text in both situations, and will never display the
title text.

That's funny, Ron! For when I had e-mailed Jim Buyens of "Running Microsoft
FrontPage 2003" about this suggestion that was given to me by Microsoft
directly, he had agreed with me for it works flawlessly for the both of us
successful web designers.

And it will continue to appear to work flawlessly - until you try it in NN4,
or in a browser that does not display images for any reason.

The alt text is alternative text - alternative to the image.
Title text is additional information.
Try running your pages through an Accessibility validator, such as
that in FP2003, or at http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/index.jsp
