Question on ballon tip?

I am not sure what you would really call this but when in Freeway and you put your mouse over a button in the toolbad a text box will appear and show you what the tool will do or is named.

How would we do the same thing on a webpage when over a graphic item?

Thanks all,

An easy way is to use the Target Show/Hide Layer action so that a rollover on the image displays a hidden layer or image. http://www.deltadesign.co/fw_examples/fwactions/rollover2.html

You can also use CSS for the same effect such as at http://www.deltadesign.co/fw_examples/CSSstuff/css-tooltips.html but that is probably a lot more work.

Select the graphic, open the Extended dialog (Command-Option-X), click New and put the following in the name and value fields, respectively:

Title

The text you want to appear in the tooltip

Now, when you hover over the graphic in the browser you’ll see a tooltip like the ones in Freeway.

Hope this helps,

Joe

Joe,

When I do that - i get a little yellow box with my test words…

What about the gray boxes that pop up when you hover over buy now - on the FWP page on softpress?

thanks!

Yup, that’s what the OP asked for. Anything more complex and you’re down the route that Dave and Bart suggested.
