Screentips in picture gallery

[Guest]

I'm having trouble trying to put screentips on photos that are part of a
gallery slideshow. They work fine on ordinary picture (single) inserts, but I
can't get the option in the gallery. Any ideas?
As always, thanks a bunch. Graeme

I don't believe it is possible because the larger version isn't really on a
'page'. Interesting question, though,

Hi again wewak11 and Eleanor,
Eleanor, thank you for the assistance you have given many here before
(including myself)

wewak11, I assume you mean a standard gallery as generated by FP. If so, no
doubt ETC is correct.

But if you set up your own slide show, based on some of the other packages
it is quite easy

On my website I have a slideshow and I just experimented with a tooltip over
the image and it worked. I will upload it when I am quite happy with the
result, but the code snippet was
document.getElementById('Image').innerHTML =
'<img src="' + Slides[ImgNum] + '" alt="' + Captions[ImgNum] + '"'
+ ' width="' + w + '" height="' + h + '">'

This is part of several modules of html and JS which generate the slideshow.
It is the alt= that does the trick (or should it be title= for
compatibility)

Feel free to take the code if it works for you. It is bit involuted but I
have got used to it

In a day or so I'll spend some time with this question.
Here are other slide show possibilities:

Treveo, please try this idea: Change something like this:
<img src="newbuttons/pastrycompany.jpg" alt="The Pastry Company" width="249"
height="30" border="0">
</tr>
to: <img src="newbuttons/pastrycompany.jpg" title="The Pastry Company"
width="249" height="30" border="0">

I didn't check this with FP. By the way it works with Firefox. Test it for
IE!?

Simply changing "alt" to "title" seems to do the trick. If that works you
could probably use find and replace, filling in for alt text and then
changing the name of the tag.
Let me know if that works please.
I'm off now to take a few Aussies to the Seattle airpost. (Your very finest
female accordionist has just visited our town for an Accordion Festival.)
I'll check back later.

Hi Elanor,

Thanks. I have tried just changing alt= "whatever" to title="whatever" and
yes, it works fine in IE. I also have Firefox, so I'll try that as well. I
wonder whether this will pass the W3C standard. Last time I ran my code
through W3C validator http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html I found that any
missing alt= tags on an image were thrown out as errors. Will it object if
only title= tags are present and alt= tags are absent? I'll try it and see
)

Now you've got me intrigued - who is the finest female Australian
accordionist ?
While I don't mind accordion music, it is not "my thing". Just straight
classical music, but not opera or much vocal, is more my scene.

I guess it is best to use both alt and title ... but don't know a very
convenient way to accomplish that ... but I'm still experimenting.
Accordionist is Bernadette Conlon ... she'll be in Las Vegas tonight:

Personally there are a lot of times when I don't care if my pages validate!
