Tooltip question

[JMvVliet]

Hello all,

I've got the following problem. When the mouse hovers over a field (in my ASP .NET app), the tooltip text is shown. But it's only shown for a few seconds. Is it possible to set the timer ONLY for this application to show the tooltip until the user leaves the field?

Thanx

Nope unfortunately not ASP.NET code generates HTML code which is interpreted by the web browser. In the case of ToolTips they are alt or title attributes in HTML code and therefore you have no control how they are displayed - it's all done by the browser.

If this really is an issue for you you could implement a JavaScript function to show/hide a panel containing a description of the field using the onmouseover and onmouseout client-side events. Basically you'd be implementing your own tooltip system but you'd have control over timings etc.

HTH
