Hi Dave
I Came across this thread and you had an example of a working tooltip. This is just what I need for a project
http://freewaytalk.net/thread/view/72362#m_73347
Can you run me through the process please.
Where are the actual tooltips created and where do they upload to.
I have your example freeway document.
Thanks

If you have the example then you should also have the unitip.js and unitip.css files which are referenced in the Head of the Document. Page>HTML Markup before end head.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../fwtwebpics/unitip.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../fwtwebpics/unitip.js"></script>
The actual tooltip text is simply added in the Alt text section of the inspector for the image.
Thats all there is to. You can use an action (Upload Stuff or Extra Resources) to get the js and css files to the server or FTP them just remember to adjust the path in the Page>HTML Markup section.

Good Man Dave
the text part was the bit I didn’t understand.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I will experiment a bit more and report back.

There are many others far better qualified to write that book than me!

I could debate that dave . . .
Problem
Test page here:
http://www.trevormckay.co.uk/slide/
Everything seems to have a tool tip.
In this example the first two faces top left back row - I have applied a graphic for each but as you see the tool tip disappears when I roll over them.
Any thoughts?

Check out Walter’s solution to this in the original thread
And Dave you are too modest. I am squirrel away useful threads and many have your name on, such as the thread that started this one.

Agree entirely Richard this man comes through every time -
lost count of the number of times he’s helped me out here!
I have since just disabled the Alt text for the items on the page to end the tip tool rollovers.
Problem seems to be in the combine graphic on the large image for the two faces I have attached graphics over

Bit lost now Im afraid.
What I’m trying to achieve is a tool tip on rollover on each face which displays their name then a click to bring user to a page of info about the person.
I have a Map area and link applied to first two faces top left.

I dont think you can do it with a map area.
Your problem is going to be that you really need to draw a graphic box over each face with the Alt text applied to it - but your image scrolls so you cannot keep the graphic box with each face. Hmmmm!

I totally forgot about the images that are referenced from the unitip.css file which also need to go on your server.

Yes - I am knackered too
Can you think of any other method to create a name appearing on rollover on a face then a click for a seperate info page.
The text could appear below the photo if needs be.
Perhaps the tooltip is beyond this one.
No rush on this - I’s switchin off now
Thanks again

Have a look at http://www.deltadesign.co/examples/slider2.html
All my marked faces are on the top row - I haven’t done that many - just enough to give you the idea

Very Good Dave. You seem to have cracked it before you switched off last night! Can you explain how you solved it please.

I finally got round to having a look at the tool-tip file you sent me and am happy to report that I have a working example with all the tooltip markers in place!. Just a couple of questions:
I Noticed that your page example (sent to me) output was set to XHTML 1.0 Transitional. When I published the page it was set in the Document Setup (in my Freeway) to output as HTML 4.01 Transitional. Result being all the rollover gifs on the faces were showing outline edge and alt text within and a question Mark in each when I uploaded. Can you explain the XHTML / HTML usage please.
also:
In the ‘untip.css’ file is it possible to slightly reduce the text size and perhaps the colour of the tooltip text - I tried but it didn’t work.
All in all I am very happy with the result so far. I hope to get this project live in the not too distant future. The original photo was given to me over 10 years ago to scan original and stitch back. I lost the file and just found it recently. I am in the photo - it was taken 44 years ago! I was a 1st year pupil. Now I want to upload it and have pupils send back info as to what happened in their lives! I will let you know when it is live.
Thanks once again for your time and help.

Not sure that matters but you can change individual pages within FW in the inspector. Page Inspector with nothing selected on the page, 3rd Tab 1st selector HTML:
and a question Mark in each when I uploaded
Can you post a link - or email it to me if you dont want to share with the world.
As far as modding the CSS goes - yes that should be doable. What size/colour do you want?

Sorry I should have explained a little more clearly - I sorted the output to match the page output HTML. So all is well there and working fine.
CCS - I think about 12pt and a light blue say 8CCDFF
Text as it is looks a bit overpowering.
Thanks once again

OK revisit the example http://www.deltadesign.co/examples/slider2.html
This is the changed part
#unitip {
position: absolute;
z-index: 1000;
top: -1000px;
color: #8CCDFF !important;
font: normal normal 1em/12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
display: none;
}
I am also assuming that you have changed the links to the images in your version of the unitip.css file to point to the unitip images on your server (and not mine!)
